In this article, it talked about how belts are coming back into style again. It talked about how belts are much more than just a necessity, they are a huge fashion statement. They mentioned that there are a lot of different ways to wear belts now and how there isn't one set way to wear a belt. They also talked about the different kinds of belts, like wide belts and skinny belts and how they affect the way you look. They said that wider belts tend to show off and accentuate a womens curves more than skinny belts do. Specifically when women wear the belt just under their bust line. Skinny belts on the other hand, they said accentuate a woman's clothing. Overall they pretty much said that belts are the new fashion item that is a must have.

I thought this was an interesting article, because the media plays a huge role in influencing the way that people dress. Teenagers always want to have the new jeans that are out, or the new kicks, or the new jacket, or whatever. They simply feel that if they have a certain item that the media is portraying as "cool", they will be "cool" as well. I thought it was funny how they said that a belt is much more than just a necessity. I didn't really think that belt's now-a-days were such a big fashion statement. I guess no matter what, the media is going to influence people to dress a certain way to be "cool" or look "hip". It is what it is.
