Do what the fashion experts do when they want to pull an outfit together effortlessly: rely on a good belt. Women's belts fly under the radar compared to other accessories like handbags and shoes. But stylish women know that a well-chosen belt can upgrade even the simplest outfit. Macy's carries all kinds of belts, from women's black belts to jewelry-like chain belts, with lots of options perfect for maximizing your wardrobe. Here's what you need to know.

Belt Basics
When creating a belt wardrobe, start with staples like a women's leather belt. Women's leather belts are incredibly durable and look great with all kinds of clothes. A women's black belt will match a wide range of clothing colors, but if you wear a lot of earth tones and neutrals, a brown belt might be the wiser choice. Most average-width belts measure approximately 1 to 1-1/2" and fit within most jeans, shorts, and pants belt loops. Save any women's wide belts for pairing with dresses and skirts. Skinny women's belts work with almost anything. You can even wear one as a chic accent for a blazer or coat if you're feeling adventurous.

The Best-Kept Accessorizing Secrets
Once you've built up your belt collection, you'll want to have fun and experiment with different looks. Try a women's fashion belt with an ornamental buckle. Or choose a belt in an unexpected color, pattern, or texture (think animal prints, embossed designs, and metallics). Take your look in a new direction with a women's western belt. Shop for top-of-the-line women's designer belts from luxury labels. Go hands-free with fanny bags & belt bags. Or, if you want to score the best belt deals, shop our women's belt sale & clearance section. The lower prices make stepping outside your fashion comfort zone easier.
