The Belt and the Beautiful


SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2010

The Belt and the Beautiful

To turn a coat, sweater or shift dress from last season into chic right now in a cinch, just belt it.

With true waist trumping hip slung and extra length for knotting de rigueur (see: Fendi, Hermès, Marc Jacobs), you may need a few extra holes. DIY your current belt collection with a punch set from Lonsdale Leather. With six different diameters, the tools work on either hard or soft leather. Just have a ruler for measuring the space between holes, a cutting board for protecting your marble countertop and a hammer to pound.

Waist not, want not.
