Add this gold-tone art deco skinny belt to a sheer blouse or eyelet dress and enjoy a few stares, all of them of the admiring type. The belt isn’t adjustable, so be careful to get the right size! And be sure the rest of your accessories are gold-tone, too, to avoid any unfashionable clashing faux pas.

Use this chocolate-brown skinny belt to add definition to your waistline, or to add a bit of texture to an otherwise flat ensemble. Wouldn’t this look cute over something chambray, with soft brown boots and a slouchy shoulder bag?

Here’s another gorgeous skinny belt, also in gold-tone, this one braided into comely plaits. If fair Rapunzel had worn this belt to her tower, it’s s sure bet she’d have been very mod, but she may also have had another, far less painful and split-end inducing escape!

Many of my maxi dresses clamor for a skinny belt to add just a hint of a waistline to them, and this one in particular can also add a little southwest charm and whimsy. The faux leather is a rich, gorgeous mahogany color, and I love how intricate the braiding is! It’s also machine-washable… how easy care!

I have a penchant for pocket, because they’re useful for stashing a lippie and keys, but alas many of my dresses just don’t have them. But ah-ha! Now I can add a pocket to any outfit just by wearing this gorgeous skinny belt. It has a miniature saddle-bag attached, and fastens with a darling safety-pin shaped buckle.

This gorgeous skinny belt is exactly the color of my favorite summer-time treat: mint chocolate chip ice cream! I love the little silver studs on this belt, in the place of where the choco chips would be. I’d layer it over a botanical-print tunic or wear it with any of my maxi or mini dresses. Cute!
See? Aren’t skinny belts fun, especially with skinny jeans or maxi dresses? That’s a whole lot of skinny for one season! Which of these hot skinny belts do you like best? Or do you think you’ll sit this trend out?
