Something for the weekend: Belts

It's often thought that shoes make an outfit, but in recent seasons one could argue that the belt has been elevated to the role. Buckled and looped over into a neat fold or loosely knotted are all relevant techniques of wearing this season. However, a neat one, fastened around a jumper or a coat, is probably the hottest look this min. And if you're not a leopard wearer, surely this number is the easiest of fashion nods.
