Macho item to feminine adornment
In the time of Julius Caesar, a belt wasÌýconsidered somewhat effete. Such prejudice, however, couldn't last and by the 16th and 17th centuries belts had been amalgamated into even the most macho of wardrobes. A belt, is after all, a very handy item from which hang a sword or a dagger.
Anna McNamee discovered when she met up with the fashion writer Caroline Cox and Edwina Ehrman, a curator at the Museum of London, that it was up to women to rediscover the more feminine aspects of the belts that Julius Caesar had rejected.Ìý
