A garter belt is a woman's undergarment consisting of an elastic piece of cloth worn around the waist to which garters are attached to hold up stockings. A garter belt normally features two or three garters attached on each side of a reinforced material strip worn around the waist.
The garter belt was the vintage precursor to pantyhose. A return to retro styled garter belts and stockings from the past is occurring due, in part, to the inconization of the 1960's pin-up girl and pin-up fashions.
Garter belts continue to be sold for practical purposes, as some individuals may find this option more comfortable than pantyhose. There is also an element of sex appeal that may be one's primary motivation for the usage of garter belts. Garter belts today are available in a variety of colors and materials, and are also available in six- and four-garter variations. Many garter belts today are made of a mixture of nylon and spandex.
