“ ‘Style’ is individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
So says John Fairchild.
Indeed, if you want to stand out and show your unique flair and sense of style, you sometimes need to customize your fashion accessories, one of which is your belt and belt buckle. A customized belt buckle is an excellent way to express yourself in the way you want to. This allows you to make your own belt buckle and create whatever design you want.It can display the logo of your favorite team, your name, a logo, hobby, cartoon character or organization you are a member of. You can even display your picture. Customized belt buckles can also come in a number of shapes, sizes and material. You can use shiny silver, burnished gold tones, brass, plastic or stainless steel. You can even add jewels and rhinestones, if you so desire.
Indeed, a belt buckle can complete your look. Are you going for bold and colorful? Whimsical or humorous? Dignified and stately? Sparkly and bubbling with energy? Dark and dramatic? You can also get that cowboy look with western belt buckles. Your custom made belt buckle can cinch that look for you. You can also use the custom belt buckle to promote a cause.
Wearing Your Belt Buckle with Flair
Accessorize. You can center your look on the belt, or you can go for a unified look with the belt complementing your clothes and other accessories. Consider your hair, clothes and other accessories to make sure that they don’t clash.
Tie in your look. Of course, you should also consider the occasion and the type of attire it calls for. If you are going to a formal event, you can wear a classic buckle, preferably in silver or gold tones. This is especially true if your attire is black or grey in color. With brown or earth tones, you can go for a dark brown belt with a gold-toned buckle. Now, if the occasion calls for casual attire, here’s your chance to make a strong statement, where you can highlight your belt buckle. You can go for the bold, or even the outrageous, such as Western belt buckles. Another thing to remember is that the size of the buckle will depend on whether the look you’re going for is formal or casual. Bigger buckles are best suited for casual looks.
Identify your look. Determine the style you want. The important thing is that you like the look and that you have fun wearing it. You can go for the big cowboy look by choosing a western style buckle with jeans. Or, you can go for brassy buckles and leather pants to proclaim yourself a rock star.
Consider your shape. Enormous belt buckles on a tiny, petite frame can only result in one looking overwhelmed and lost. Meanwhile, a small belt buckle on a big frame can only point attention to the stomach. It is important to know your body type and what best suits it.
Rock it! Your custom made buckle is all your own. It is a reflection of your taste and sense of style. It expresses your own personality, mindset and moods. Cultivate that style and wear it with confidence. The right clothes and the right accessories without the right amount of confidence will just fall flat. Confidence will help you wear your key accessories, such as a belt buckle, with style and imagination.
