Waist Management

Loop de Loops Belts

Finding jeans that properly accentuate your assets wasn’t easy.

One pair was so tight your left buttock actually went numb. Another flattened out your tush until it resembled an upended mesa. But, after a drama-filled day in the changing room, you’ve finally found the perfect pair.

The crowning glory to your retail victory? A sash to play supporting role to your scene-stealing derriere. Try a handmade ring-buckle belt from Loop de Loops. The sparkly sequin collection comes in shimmery gold, mint, and turquoise. Funky yet practical reversibles have bright, retro-inspired fabrics on one side and more subdued prints or solids on the reverse. Others feature delicately crocheted white lace over solid gingham or seersucker in black and pink.

Each design is unique, and both fabrics and styles are always changing. Which means there’s even more hard work ahead if you plan on keeping your posterior fashionably outfitted. But it will all be worth it.

At least in the end.
