Summer is the time when many girls strive to stand out with the help of well-chosen accessories for the bow and to focus on the figure with their help. Currently, there is a wide range of such jewelry, among which the waistline is particularly notable. This is the super trend of the past 2014, which is now re-experiencing its creative rebirth under the strict guidance of famous designers.
A bit of history
The waist chain was popular 4 thousand years ago among the peoples of the East, but everywhere it had a different meaning. For example, in India, such an accessory was called “patka”. He was one of many attributes for conducting religious rituals and ceremonies. It is in such a necklace on the waist that God Krishna is depicted in many of the paintings that have survived from antiquity.
In the Maldives, such costume jewelry was distributed only among noble people and emphasized their status, enshrined in society - the judge, the head of the city, etc. They were made exclusively of precious metals, and precious and natural stones were used as decoration. A similar value chain on the waist was also for the weaker sex in Russia, in the VII century. For a long time, Russian ladies so pointed out the luxury and wealth of their kind.
Inhabitants of the Arab countries, with the help of chains on the waist, lured men, putting on jewelry while performing various ethnic dances, thus focusing on their seductive forms. And thanks to the additions in the form of gold coins or special trinkets, they increased the influence of this accessory.
When the decoration became popular again in the 21st century, Western designers gave it a new name - the belly chain, which literally translates as a chain for the belly.
Features and benefits
In a primitive state, the decoration resembles a thin belt of metal links of various sizes and lengths. This traditional decoration will easily refresh most women's bows, focusing on the waist. However, modern fashion leaves a similar graceful simplicity in the past, offering girls more elegant and interesting models.
As a rule, such a chain girdles the waist or abdomen, setting a certain refined atmosphere to the image. But there are also models that are worn on the hips of a woman and are made up to 100 cm long. There are also products that are attached to the neck, and then effectively pass under the arms and end at the waist - this is a more evening and bold option for a self-confident girl.
It should be borne in mind that such a decoration will become a real decoration only for those young women who possess an enviable figure. Thus, this accessory becomes a kind of final touch to the efforts on themselves that most women put on the threshold of the hot season. The chain at the waist can easily draw the attention of others to the embossed tummy of its owner and emphasize its beauty.
The modern range includes a variety of styles of this accessory: from models for an evening dress to spectacular additions to a swimsuit. The most common jewelry is not from expensive metals, which are distinguished by their corrosion-proof property, but are usually intended to be worn for no more than one season. However, among the jewelry you can try to find traditional ethnic patches, which can be elegantly emphasized by modern bows.
Spectacular images
The most popular options are the traditionally thin and complemented pair with cubic zirconia products, which are mounted directly on the waist. With the help of them, any girl will feel even more refined.
The best everyday option would be a decoration that a girl would wear under a translucent blouse. For example, a silver stylish model in combination with a short white blouse made of thin material and black shorts at a low waist will be a great combination for walking around the city with friends.
If a girl wants to stand out, the stylists recommend her to buy an accessory to her swimsuit. In this case, it is better to abandon the body and give preference to an open bikini.
The most spectacular option would be such a style of the chain, in which it is attached behind the neck and held at hand. The presence of an additional element of decor in the form of a suspension will add elegance to the image. Swimsuit should be combined with the color of the metal from which the chain is made.
Being in search of a spectacular and non-banal decoration for an evening dress, it is worth buying a more tangible in weight decoration that will fit perfectly on top of the clothes, emphasizing the femininity of the girl.
To get a more elegant look, stylists advise to combine an accessory with a monophonic dress. The most profitable and luxurious bow will turn out using a classic black dress and a thick gilded chain that will gird it in several tiers.
