Belts are special straps that generally go around your waist and are normally used for holding trousers or skirts up on a person’s body, although sometimes they are used for decorative purposes.
Belts are generally made from leather or heavy cloth fabric.
Belts include a buckle and a band or strap in its design, and often a series of holes for the prong of the buckle to insert into, making it adjustable in length.
Men have been using belts as part of their clothing since 1000 BC or earlier.
In the modern era, it wasn’t until around the 1920s that belts were used to hold trousers up, as trousers had lower waistlines around that time.

Before the 1920s, belts were generally used for decoration.
Some belts, utility belts, are used to carry items or tools around the waist for quick and easy access.
In the early Middle Ages, and in the 1900s- 1910s, it became fashionable for women to wear belts.
Some belts have been produced to be worn on legs.
The section of the belt strap that hangs loose, or is tucked into a belt loop is said to be called the lattiilus.
