If you don't particularly care about the look, then you probably won't deal with the variety of types of belts. Another thing is fashionistas. They are all interested! You can improve your image and learn something new. For example, do you know what a sash is? How is it different from a regular belt? Let's find out.
What does he look like?
If you take a wide piece of fabric or a thin scarf, tie it around your waist, you get a sash! This is a wide and multi-layered belt. Previously, it was a part of the men's toilet. They were tied with outerwear. It was purely practical
invention. The fact is that buttons in the old days were an expensive and rare product. The peasant class could not often afford to buy them (we don’t write about other fasteners, they didn’t exist then). It turns out that the answer to the question of what a sash is is very strange. This is the first closure that was used to keep outerwear from opening up and exposing the body!
Sash: the meaning of the word
By origin, it refers to the Turkic language. Translated in its current meaning. Thatthere is a sash - this is a belt or a wide braid. It has no other meaning. But there are many options for sashes. They were used not only to fasten clothes in cold weather. Sashes still served as some decorations, and sometimes as pockets. Remember, in literature, the Cossack stuck his mittens in a sash? It was there that it was possible to put other small (and not so) things, so as not to carry them in your hands. An ax and other tools needed when working outside the home in the winter were also placed there. It turns out that the sash is a very functional product, which today's fashionistas do not remember. Well, now what are we going to lay in the belt, when every charmer has pockets at hand and a reticule?
Modern sashes
Belts now play the role of decoration.
This uses both their appearance and location. A wide belt can emphasize the slimness of the figure and pull the body in the waist area. At the same time, what is a sash in the ancient sense of the word has not been remembered for a long time. This is the name of a belt made of any material, wide and not very wide. Its main difference from the rest: several layers or tying options. That is, if an ordinary belt is tied or fastened with a clasp, then the sash has variability. They can be tied in three layers, or you can fix it with a huge bow or rose. This is an instrument of a separate game of taste and fantasy. Some time ago, embroidered or fringed sashes were in fashion. A kind of return to historical roots. A special chic is a handmade sash. These can only be made independently or found onsolo exhibitions!
