If you want to go ultra trendy, opt for a metallic gold trouser belt with your preppy attire ... ooh la la!

This is a wonderfully forgiving look that melts off the pounds — especially if your waistline is not ready for primetime viewing.

This is one trend that will be gone by Labor Day, so work it now — and don't spend mucho bucks!

If you love the look of the hand-tooled belt or the beautifully carved metal buckle, you can safely splurge here. These belts are classics that you will treasure forever.
