# Stylish LED Belts The Reflective Belt by Sylvia Heisel is a Fashionable Light-up Piece By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-08-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflective-belt References: [sylviaheisel](http://sylviaheisel.com/products/double-wrap-belt) This [reflective belt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibia-plusminus) is a sure way to attract attention. The bright fashion piece was designed by Sylvia Heisel and is known as the double-wrap belt. This glowing accessory has many useful purposes. For safety reason, if you're an avid [bike rider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wnd-helmet), wearing this belt at night will ensure people will see you in pitch black. To add a fun element to a [night out](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melin-agame-icon-hydro), get your group of friends to all wear one and you'll never lose each other -- of course you'll probably also get some unwanted attention if you're all sporting the same style. Instead of just wrapping around your waistline once, it wraps around twice, giving it an extra different element than regular belts. Don't worry about attracting attention in broad daylight though, as the reflective feature only works in darkness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LED Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate LED lights in their designs to create unique and attention-grabbing pieces. - **Safety Accessories:** This trend could inspire creators to design more safety accessories with features such as reflective materials or lights that enhance visibility for pedestrians and bikers. - **Group Fashion:** The Reflective Belt could inspire designers to create more group fashion accessories that bring people together, just like how wearing these belts can unite a group of friends for a night out. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can take inspiration from The Reflective Belt and incorporate safety features or LED lights in their designs to create unique pieces that stand out in the market. - **Outdoor Recreation:** This trend could lead to an increase in demand for safety accessories designed for outdoor enthusiasts, such as reflective gear and lights for runners and bikers. - **Nightlife:** Nightclubs and other venues that cater to the nightlife scene could embrace the trend of group fashion and offer unique experiences, such as group discounts or VIP treatment, to parties wearing matching accessories like The Reflective Belt. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [LED Light-Integrated Running Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lumabelt.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Stylish Safety Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-helmet-reflective-star-decals.md) - [Emergency Tracking Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-x-recco-stretch-belt.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Illuminated Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-cycling-helmet.md) - [Waist-Worn Runner Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitecore-ut05-waist-light.md)
