# Size-Disclosing Accessories The Measuring Tape Belt Tells All of the Width of Your Waist By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-06-08 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measuring-tape-belt References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2011/06/measuring-tape-belt-episode-2-.html) & [nedhardy](http://nedhardy.com/2011/03/10/34-cleverly-designed-inventions/) Inquiring about someone's weight or pants size is a bit of a taboo, but for those who are proud of their bodies just as they are, the Measuring Tape Belt is a sincere accessory that tells it like it is. No amount of [tag manipulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/methreesixty) or uncomfortable wardrobe downsizing will keep people from discovering the width of your middle, since it will be clearly mark around the top of your slacks. This [wearable tape measure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setime-clock) is thick enough to act as a supportive strap, and narrow enough to fit through the standard loops of your trousers' waist. The circumference of your stomach is calculated in clearly marked metric units rather than the imprecise notch system. If indicating the increments larger and smaller than your size wasn't precise enough, the Measuring Tape Belt has a small window in its [metal buckle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truckle) that exposes the breadth of your belly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Body Positivity Accessories:** The Measuring Tape Belt is one of many accessories that promote body positivity. - **Wearable Measurement Devices:** Wearable technology is being designed to measure various health metrics. - **Transparent Fashion:** Fashion items are being designed to display measurements and other personal information. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can create more transparent designs like the Measuring Tape Belt. - **Health and Fitness:** The health and fitness industry can use wearable measurement devices like the Measuring Tape Belt. - **Technology:** Technology companies can develop more advanced measurement devices for health and personal use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Rounded Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape.md) - [Hyper-Durable Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-indestructible-belt.md) - [Emergency Tracking Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-x-recco-stretch-belt.md) - [Magnifying Measurement Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-sizes-ruler.md) - [Magnetic Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tisolver.md) - [Indestructible Sleek Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indestructible-belt.md) - [Connected Professional Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acegmet-dtx-10.md) - [Bluetooth-Connected Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datapro-25.md) - [Titanium EDC Rolling Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiroler-20.md)
