Finding yourself stuck in a fashion-rut and throwing on your comfy jeans yet again? Add some stylish accessories and you will also divert attention from the fact you’ve been rocking the same jean’n’tee combo all week.

Steel Toe Studios’ artistic line of edgy belts and buckles may be just what you need. Artist and blacksmith Erica Gordon makes each original piece made-to-order from her Seattle-based studio. Mix’n’match over 40 different snap buckles with an array of colorful, hand-dyed leather straps for a custom, build-your-own belt.

Imaginative designs include hardware-inspired hinges and steel bolts melded together into honeycomb shapes as well as using whimsical lion’s head doorknockers, antique brass keys and accessory-sized horseshoes. Distressed metal and patina finishes give the pieces a matte, live-in look.

You can always count on Steel Toe Studio’s distinctive belts to whip even your most basic wardrobe staples into high-style shape.
