Object | Anderson's - Braided Cotton Belt

Summer is the season for keeping it simple. A pair of shorts, a t-shirt or a buttondown and a nice pair of shoes is usually enough. There's not much room for playing around with layering when it's ninety degrees and the sun is blazing. That's where accesories come in handy. Without increasing the amount of extra heat you need to endure it provides you the opportunity to play around a bit and give your outfits that special edge.

This D-ring braided belt from Anderson's is perfect for adding a splash of color to a palette that usually consists mainly of khaki, white and navy blue. Red can be tricky to pull off, but done right it can work wonders and usually it works great as an accent color. The white complements the red and subdues it just the right amount. This is definitely a strong contender to our previous favorite cotton belt.

When I was checking out Michael's post on his hunt for a braided belt I found this. Now, Michael don't get me wrong the leather version was sweet, but this one here definitely tops it. It's honestly one of the best looking belts I've seen in a long time and the perfect one for those approaching summer days.

Braided cotton with suede insets at both ends. Not crazy about the gold-plated buckle but I think it kind of works. Comes in white and blue, as shown in the picture.
