8 Must-Have Vintage Belts Types for Your Wardrobe

Belts, in all their renditions, from the bold western-inspired pieces to the quiet, luxurious designs, are wardrobe wonders! Yes, inherently practical—they alter fits, create silhouettes and manipulate proportions—but ultimately, they elevate outfits from simple to statement. Here is our round-up of 8 must-have vintage belt types now online on fashionandfables.com

1) The Cowgirl Belts
 The Cowgirl aesthetic is here to stay. So buckle up and dip your toes into the trend with unique belts that transport you back to the wild, wild, west.
We got plenty to choose from in store like this Levis design with a statement silver buckle.  A must-have for country-loving Rodeo queens, it will look great with your favourite 501 or cool denim skirtsThis design is what we call studded glory and we love the tasseled look of this 70s piece. Be sure to check out this great designer piece by Roberto Cavalli 
 
2) The Y2K pieces
Belts from the 2000s are fun, quirky and cool. Best with your low waisted denim or on your cool mini dresses for a rave. Designs with round buckles like this brown suede piece  and this classic piece are winners.  
3) The Minimalist Designs
Sleek and often times in leather, minimalist belts are timeless designs. We have a couple in store, but this black leather piece stands out from the rest.
4) Chain Link Belts 
Chain link designs can add a tough luxe touch to your everyday. We love this rock n roll leather piece from the 90s. With studded details it is definitely for the rebel with a cause.  
5) The Nautical Themed Belts
So summer appropriate, maritime-inspired pieces give you that easy breezy finish. We love this rope and leather design  and this classic piece will complement your striped vacation separates.
6) Woven Designs 
The craftsmanship into woven belts make them worth the investment. Aesthetically, more bohemian, they are especially great when paired with linen separates and relaxed silhouettes. We love this tanned design from the 70s and this black leather piece is great for looping around your favourite jeans or trousers.
7) Evening Belts 
Belts with an opulent touch make for an elegant finish eveningwear. This Tribecca by Jakoby design is a great example of this.  Another great option for your after-dark wardrobe is this gold and black design by Carol Tanner . A definite conversation-starting piece thanks to its chunky knit silhouette.
8) The Statement Belt  
Whether in silhouette or in palette, some belts just stand out from the rest. Here are some we have in store that we can't get enough of. There is the  Bernd Berger piece for example catches the eye with its oversized silhouette and buckled. If you like a good colorful design, this striped yellow piece from the 70s will do the work and this quirky elephant buckled belt will definitely stop traffic
