Not sure if it’ll do, but you have the basis for a pattern even if it’s not perfect.

‘There’s an absolute sense that the age of abundance and waste is over’ so said Andy Bond CEO of ASDA. He believes that the credit crunch has encouraged a long-term change in attitude to waste. So, taking this to heart, in these tough times it is essential to make the most out of your wardrobe and the obvious answer is to find accessories that can instantly update your outfit and make you feel good about yourself.

Forget about the ‘It’ bag, the spotlight is now on the belt. By cleverly choosing the right belt for your shape you can instantly update a look or add focus to the simplest outfit. A simple change of your belt means you can work the look from day to evening; career to casual. Two other beautiful things about belts is that they are age neutral and financially attainable. With just a few well-chosen, good designer belts you can show the world your personal style.

When looking for a belt take into account what you want to wear it with. Is it to go through the loops of a pair of low-rise jeans or to cinch the waist over a tailored jacket or perhaps to be worn casually over a chunky knit? You need to look for different widths and sizes depending on how and where on the body you are going to wear the belt.

Make sure any belt that you buy doesn’t have a long overhang after it is fastened (unless it is designed to be worn long a la this season’s Burberry belt). It is so unsightly to see belts with long flapping ends and looks cheap.

Every stylish woman needs a selection of luxury belts to finish off her look and a belt designer to look out for is ‘under the radar’ brand, Opika who have built up a loyal fan base of stylish women in the know. These women, once hooked, become avid collectors of Opika belts loving the ‘head-turning’ effect they have.

Opika not only designs belts that go beyond fashion but the quality of its belts ensures that an Opika belt can be worn for years… Which has to be a sound investment in anyone’s book. Accessories say so much about a person so it’s important to make sure that you get it right.

So, become a style icon in your own right and do yourself a financial favour – invest in a luxury designer belt and people will assume that you have spent on your outfit too.
