I was looking for the perfect black leather belt to cinch sweaters and dresses and found this one at Jacob. Unfortunately they didn't have my size but I tried the next size up and it really is the perfect belt. It is the perfect width (not too thick, not too thin). I've tried on other belts that made my waist look shorter because they were too thick. I love this new trend and hope it sticks around for a while. Either way, with a belt as simple and classic as this, it never really goes out of style. I really love this look. Now I just have to wait for the new shipment so I can buy it in my size.
