    Study Notes

    Overview of Belts

    • Belts are worn around the waist or hips and are made of materials such as leather, plastic, and heavy cloth.
    • The ends of a belt are free and a buckle secures one end to another part of the belt, creating a loop.
    • Belts are used to secure clothing, carry objects, and define or accentuate the waist.
    • Some garments have belt loops and many belts have a "keeper loop" to stop the free end of the belt from flapping.
    • Belts that hold up clothing work by friction and often take advantage of the compressibility of the torso above the hips.
    • Belts are used as fashion accessories, with many colors, styles, and finishes.
    • Belts have been documented as male clothing since the Bronze Age, and belts were a decorative as well as utilitarian part of military uniform in the late 19th century.
    • Men started wearing belts in the 1920s as trouser waists fell to a lower line.
    • Leather is the most popular belt material, but belts are also made using a range of other materials, including braided leather, suede, and vinyl.
    • Belts have transformed from a strictly utilitarian item to a fashion accessory.
    • Formal belts are usually narrower with a polished metal finish, while casual belts worn with denim are wider with a textured appearance.
    • Belts can be used for corporal punishment, but this is not recommended in modern society.
