Additional Information

This linked mesh belt captures the maximalist energy of the Studio 54 era—fluid, metallic, and unapologetically flashy. Worn slung low across disco bodysuits or looped twice as a necklace, these convertible pieces blurred the lines between jewelry and clothing. The gold finish and chainmail texture evoke the kind of stylized armor that defined glam nightlife fashion in the late 1970s. The era’s obsession with fluid silhouettes and genderless shimmer made belts like this a go-to accessory for anyone aiming to turn heads under a strobe light.
