Styling Tips

There are numerous ways to wear vintage Chanel chain belts, so whether you prefer simple or bold, we’ve got you covered. The addition of this accessory is an easy way to step up any look. Pair a simple slip dress with layered chain belts for a statement look. Wear the chain belt across the torso as chic body jewelry. Double wrap the chain belt around the neck as a layered necklace. Thread it through your belt loops or wear it around the waist of a tweed blazer. Our Soho Stylist Nico Sese suggests adding a brooch (or two) to “customize” your vintage chain belt. Attach it to the middle of the chain for a pendant look, or fix it at the very end of the chain to hang like a charm. We’re loving these fresh styling tips to upgrade a vintage accessory.
