Have you ever wondered who invented the belts? Their history goes back a long time ago when the belt fulfilled not only a practical function, but also pointed out to the gender and status of the wearer. Originally, belts were used to keep clothes together, such as tunics, so that they did not get loose and they were made of both cloth and ropes. Later, belts were used to put weapons, tools or other things that are needed on a daily basis behind them.. And only from the beginning of the 20th century, the belts began to fulfill the function known to us – holding trousers. Belts should be at least two in the wardrobe, especially if you wear them daily? Why – they also need to rest. It is best to keep the belt hanged so that it stretches out by its natural weight, because wearing belt in everyday life it leans and also occupies the wearer’s shape. By hanging the belt, you not only straighten it, but also give it a chance to dry, despite that you may thin that you are not wetting the belt, but the person releases a certain amount of sweat on a daily basis and everyday everything is absorbed also in the belt.
