Trend: Metal Belts

For about six months now I've been mulling over the idea of a metal belt. I love the unique, eye-catching look, but have been wavering because they can look a bit awkward. And sometimes worse. Like some medieval torture device for women. Discomfort aside, I think I am going to take the plunge with this Halston metal and leather belt. The mix of materials gives it a more modern flair while ensuring that it isn't terribly constricting. Thoughts on the look?
