In Ukrainian clothing, all details and accessories were important. And not the least role in the folk costume was played by the belt, it was not just a harmonious addition to the outfit, but also a strong amulet. Depending on the purpose, such belts had different lengths, patterns and decorations.
The simplest version of traditional folk belts is a simple woven or braided belt, which was used to tie shirts and everyday clothes. For more solemn events, more elegant belts were used, they were decorated with embroidery, bright tassels or woven patterns. Such elegant variations of belts carried a deeper ceremonial and protective meaning. In men's suits, along with textile belts, leather belts were common, which could be decorated with embossing, massive metal elements, and sometimes precious stones, thereby emphasizing the status of their owner.
It is interesting that over time, the traditions of using belts and straps have hardly changed, and today a well-chosen belt or sash emphasizes style, adds elegance, charm and sophistication to the chosen image, and sometimes with the help of this accessory you can hide unwanted features of the physique. A belt or strap is one of the most favorite accessories of many world fashion designers and stylists. With the help of such a seemingly simple element, they create unsurpassed images.
