Belting It Out

Belts. Where would our pants be without them? Probably all the way down around our ankles. These simple yet useful accessories make it possible for us to walk down the street without inadvertently exposing ourselves. Okay, perhaps that was an exaggeration. But it’s not entirely impossible, right?

Belts are one of the most common accessories that people wear. Ever wondered when they came about? No? Well we’ll tell you anyway.

Belts have been around since as early as the Bronze Age. That’s right – a really, really long time ago. In modern times, before the 1920s, belts were mostly decorative and associated with the military.

Here at Brand Neusense, our favourite type of belt is the web belt. Since it has no holes, it is extremely flexible and can fit practically any waist – especially great for those with unpredictable waistlines (we won’t name names, though).

Check out our top picks: Slim OTW Web Belt Vans - Black/ Gravel, Slim OTW Web Belt Vans - White/Black, Favorite Web Belt Vans - Black/Pink/Green.

Oh and although these belts can be shared by people with different waist measurements, we highly recommend that you don’t let anyone else wear yours, as you will most likely not get them back. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya!

No Gift? No Problem!

More often than not, you’re a good girlfriend. You never forget birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions… But what if one day, you did? It’s your boyfriend’s birthday in a couple of days and you haven’t gotten anything for him yet! Gasp! What to do?

Don’t panic and get him the Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black from Vans. It includes a bandana, a bi-fold wallet, and an exclusive Sk8-Hi keychain. Also, all three items in the set are covered in Vans’ ever popular cool black and white checkerboard pattern.

The Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black isn’t just an emergency gift suggestion. Even if you haven’t forgotten your boyfriend’s birthday and have been counting down to it for weeks, the Keyrific Wallet Giftset White/Black still makes an awesome present. Your boyfriend would agree.
