The White Leather Belt

Showing Others that You Care for Your Things

There are varied fashion effects that you can achieve using a white leather belt. First of all, a white belt is always appropriate as an accent for certain colors. Unlike your black belt which blends well with most, if not all, colors, you will need some kind of aesthetic sense to put together the clothes and shoes you want to wear with a white belt.

To offset the starkness of pure white, belt designers usually place rhinestones or metal studs on the belt. It is also usual to pad metal around the prong holes in the white belt.
The buckles will also usually be uniquely designed. An alternative to placing accessories on the belt, some designers opt to using an adulterated shade of white to make it easier to match off the belt with the other pieces of clothing.

One important thing to remember when you buy a leather belt in white is that it will need more care than your other belts. The paint tends to crack easily with heat, cold and dryness. You will need to store the belt in a place that is not too dry and just cool enough. This also means that you should not use your white belt for extended outings under the sun, which, additionally, will tend to make it dirty. Another thing to remember about white leather belts is that the color is easily stained by other dyes. You should not, for instance, forget to remove your belt from your pants if your pants are not colorfast. Otherwise, if the pants get wet while in the laundry basket, your belt will be discolored.

However, because of the great tendency of white belts to crackle up, a whole trend has emerged about vintage, crackled leather belts. It gives a sort of mellowed and matured appearance to the person sporting it. Specifically, studded cowboy white belts which have crackled can still command a price, as is, from some buyers. The value of the belt really depends on the way the paint has cracked. And the way the paint cracks depends on the where and the how of storage and use.

Obviously, if you can manage wearing and re-wearing your white leather belt in good condition on many occasions, everyone will know you are a person who is conscientious about caring for your things, or your mom is. Either way it reflects well on you and your family. But when cracks begin to show in the paint, you should send it to an expert to be re-dyed or put it up for grabs on the Internet as a crackled white curio belt.
