This belt is the perfect in-between of western with a modern flare. With that being said, you can dress this belt up with a cute pair of black booties or even dress it down with some sneaks.
The studded belt adds an edge to your outfit without giving off too much grunge like the grommet belt. This belt is so simple and classic that it can be paired cinched around a dress or with band tees and denim. If you’re going to a concert or a night out, I recommend wearing this style. This look would go good with black booties or even a stylish heel.
Chain belts completely took over the spring and summer 2019 runways and sending a message of uniqueness and creating your own path. Chain belts are closely related to the hoop belt I referred to a little earlier (#4). The chain belt comes in silver and gold, giving you the opportunity to pair it with other silver or gold accessories like rings and necklaces. This style belt is mostly used for style than function.
