But it was the sparkling diamante belly chain\u2014or could that be diamonds?\u2014that had this editor remembering her days on the old school yard (or at least dancing the night away at a blue-light disco).<\/p>\n<p>A solid trend in the 90s and early 00s, lowly slung belly chains were seen on all young tummies before a keen few graduated to belly button piercings. Back then, hip-grazing skirts, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/irina-shayk-low-rise-jeans\/\">low-rise jeans<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/dua-lipa-is-helping-bring-back-the-velour-tracksuit\/\">velour tracksuits<\/a> were the norm, and as such, the look was extended by way of decorating one\u2019s torso with a single chain.<\/p>\n<p>As all trends follow a cyclical lineage, belly chains remerged all at once on the great runways of 2020 and 2021, a pre- and post-pandemic rebellion era for fashion. At <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/chanel-cruise-2021-campaign\/\">Chanel Cruise<\/a>, a patterned crop and skirt combo was styled with a satchel bag and layers of chains and pearls worn above the naval. On <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/the-9-looks-youll-want-to-buy-from-jacquemus-see-now-buy-now-fall-21-show\/\">Jacquemus\u2019 Fall\/Winter 2021 runway,<\/a> the same, and at Dior pre-Fall 2021, a gold chain belt was worn against the skin (but definitely above the high-waisted embroidered, monogrammed pants.) Yes, it was belly chains redux in an elegant way\u2014most styled with high-waisted bottoms stamping an end to the belly chain\u2019s correlation with the rather unkind low-rise garments. Still, the chain didn\u2019t really manage to gain traction in the real world with women perhaps associating the body jewellery with naval-glaring antics of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/paris-hilton-stop-being-poor-t-shirt\/\">Paris Hilton<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-diane-sawyer\/\">Britney Spears circa 2003.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237922\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-237922\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GettyImages-1317943584.jpg\" alt=\"chanel cruise 2021\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1513\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A model walks the runway during the Chanel Cruise 2021\/2022 Collection Show at the Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.
