# Ruffles For Your Waist Frilly Belts by Borba Margo By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-12-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffles-for-your-waist-frilly-belts-by-borba-margo References: [stylebubble.typepad](http://stylebubble.typepad.com/style_bubble/2008/12/wrap-that-waist.html) & [borbamargo](http://www.borbamargo.com/) Talk about micro-mini skirts. These flouncy belts by Borba Margo of London look like someone seriously shrunk the laundry. Forget that they are pictured with little else but a body suit and girdles - these stylish waist accessories are so cute and feminine. I love the single length [black leather frill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-collection) with a slight opening at the front. How great would that piece look over simple leggings and a turtle neck sweater, and the [cognac coloured fanny pack inspired purse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embellished-loop-bag) would be fabulous with a pair of jeans. Margo also designs a fantastic line of ruffle-free belts that are bold and modern. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Micro-mini Skirts:** The trend of micro-mini skirts presents an opportunity for designers to create innovative and unique waist accessories. - **Cute and Feminine Waist Accessories:** The demand for cute and feminine waist accessories provides an opportunity for designers to create stylish and trendy belts. - **Bold and Modern Belts:** The trend of bold and modern belts offers an opportunity for designers to create innovative accessories that cater to the fashion-forward consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can benefit from the trend of micro-mini skirts by designing and manufacturing creative waist accessories. - **Accessories and Leather Goods:** The accessories and leather goods industry can capitalize on the demand for cute and feminine waist accessories by offering a wide range of stylish belts. - **Retail and E-commerce:** The retail and e-commerce industry can tap into the trend of bold and modern belts by showcasing and selling innovative belt designs to fashion-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Fanny Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-porter-baguette.md) - [Menstrual Discomfort Relief Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hottie-belt.md) - [Underwear-Imitating Hybrid Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Potato Chip-Brand Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridgewear.md) - [Belted Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-mandy-coat.md) - [Stylish Granola Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentine.md) - [Frilly Feminine Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g.md) - [Towel-Resembling Luxe Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/towel-skirt.md)
