We’re slowly but surely building our collection of needlepoint belts.  As much as we love the more lively designs that are available, there is something to be said about a more subdued approach from time to time.  The feature below originally ran on February 28, 2011.

Primarily, we wear needlepoint belts in a casual environment which lends itself well to the bright designs we love. Most of the time, that’s fine, but what should you do if you want to sport some needlepoint in the office?  A bright design may be okay for casual Friday, but, if you work in a “business casual” environment and want to work in some needlepoint the other 4 days of the week, take a look at the Surcingle Needlepoint Belts from Smathers & Branson.

From Beercans to Bonefish, Smathers & Branson has a ton of “fun” belts for those days where you are looking to make a bit of a splash, but they also have just as many great options for a more understated look.  Each belt in the Surcingle line features a solid background color with a contrasting stripe.  With thirteen choices currently available, these belts are simple enough to wear daily, yet provide just enough of a color pop to brighten up your day without being too “out there” for typical work wear.  Just like the rest of the offerings from Smathers & Branson, the quality of the belts is absolutely top notch, and the simple color schemes will look great for years to come.
