We saw at Fashion Week recently that belts are all the rage for spring. There are belted trench coats, belted dresses, belts on shoes, and even belts that just hold your pants up. It's always good to have a few belts to accessorize with, and the great thing about belts is that they're easy to get on the cheap. You can fill up a closet shelf with cheap belts and still have cash left over to spend on all the other hot items this season. Here are five of our favorite cheap belt styles.
The Paul Fredrick Tan Italian Suede Belt is a classic men's design, plain enough to go with anything, but stylish enough that it's not just another cheap belt. The rich suede has a great feel, and the belt features center stitch detail with a polished nickel buckle. A cheap belt like this one is a must-have for any guy.
This 2 Hole Beige Canvas Belt is the perfect cheap belt for everyday wear. It goes perfectly with jeans and is suitable for men and women. At under $10, this cheap belt is easy on the wallet, so you can buy more than one if you like -- it's available in lots of assorted colors in addition to this neutral beige. Check it out in red, purple, navy, and more. It should be easy to find one of these cheap belts to go with any outfit you can imagine.
If you like punk and alternative style, you need a studded belt in your collection. This Red Punk Studded Leather Belt is a great cheap belt for punk guys or girls, and it also comes in several other colors. This is a cheap belt with real attitude, but you don't have to be a punker to pull it off. Punk style is becoming more and more mainstream, so no one will call you a poser if you just want to dress the part for a day with a funky cheap belt like this one.
For a classic style from a top designer, check out the Ralph Lauren Double O-Ring Leather Belt. It's not the cheapest cheap belt, but for a name brand like Ralph Lauren, it's a great buy, and the durable leather will last a long time. This cheap belt works well with anything from denim to business professional to date night attire.
