Chains sure have lasting power. And Dania Ramirez reinstates the allure of chain detail belts. Designers are thinking of new, crafty ways to deliver the chain via waistwear. While Dania's subtly cinches her silky emerald dress, thicker versions can dramatize any simple item, while multimedia ones can serve as artsy focal points. I can't choose a favorite; they're all bitchin' belts.
These thick, modern versions of the old style chain belts are a sexy accessory that would complement any mod style long shift dress or tunic. Just wrap it around, clip it together and go with no fuss - they really make cinching a cinch! They also add a Grecian flare. Here are a few new chain belts:
This Woven Link Belt by Cara Couture, $165, is a stunning woven iron gold link belt that has a mesh effect. It is two inches wide and thirty one inches long with a gold drop at the end of the lobster claw clasp to create some weight so it stays put.

As we all know, fashion is cyclical, and this Fall, the chain belt is back! But this time around, it's a little bit more refined and a little bit less S&M than the old-style 1980s version. The new chain styles are integrated with rich leathers and intricate buckles and intended to be worn around dresses and long tunics. Here's a peek at a few of my favorites.
