Young Blonde Girl With A Belt At The Sea On The Rocky Coast

• A common sight in fantasy and roleplaying characters is the excessive use of belts in all different sizes on one's person. Usually they are used either for securing clothing and armor, but others just have several belts around the arms, legs, neck, waist, hips, and across the breasts for decoration. Sometimes they are used in place of eyepatches or to decorate weapons. This was also common in superhero costume design of the early 1990s.
• A studded belt is typically made of leather or similar materials, and is decorated with metal studs. Studded belts are often a part of punk, emo/scene, skater, Goth and metal fashion.
• Skateboarders often wear shoelaces in belt loops to hold pants up instead of a conventional belt. This is done for fashion and because of the buckle on a belt often digs into a skater's stomach when skating, where as to the shoelace has no buckle. The other reason this is done is if the skater falls they don't land on the belt causing more pain.
It is also used in judo, karate and other martial arts, where different colors may indicate rank or skill.
