Belts! We have been talking about belts practically non-stop these days, and that is because they are, to our view, utterly ubiquitous. Lately we have been doing this thing where we’ll say to ourselves something like, “Belts outside the coat? And how is this done?” and then going and finding photographic evidence of it actually being done. As above, at Burberry Prorsum. We are thinking that all we need to do this is (a) a belt and (b) a nice coat. Well, we’re waiting for (b). But: belts!
Here’s the original version. Burberry Prorsum quilted belt, $275
We don’t know. It just seems so freaking random to have a belt around your coat. Doesn’t that look a bit random? We’ll, you know, play along. But we maintain that it’s random.
I think it’s pretty tricky -
it can’t just be the belt in your closet, and the coat sort of needs to be designed to have a belt like that.
That MJ one just doesn’t look right to my eye…
