Turn a Simple and Hot Style Into One With Meaning!

Hello guys and gals, from the folks over at PRASM! Thanks for stopping by.


In the post, Why Should You Care About Color?, we touched on the importance of color in our everyday lives and this week we want to chat a little about the significance of belts and some of the history behind them! Some of us throw a belt on everyday, so why not learn a little about how and why they became a part of our daily wardrobes?! We won't bore you with a bunch of information, so here are a few interesting facts about belts...

Belts were worn outside of the military uniform.

Did you know that:

•  In eastern parts of Europe, such as Prussia, belts were worn by men to pull their waists in and make the chest protrude more?
• For ascetic or spiritual reasons, people (gurus especially) wore belts as a symbol of separating the lower body (which signifies the lower nature) from the upper body (which signifies the higher nature)?
• Belts were originally worn to symbolize a person who was no longer controlled by his carnal (or lower) urges?
• In the western world, belts were only common for men, with the exception of the early Middle Ages, late 17th century Mantua, and skirt/blouse combinations between 1900 and 1910?
• Belts served to draw in the waist and give the wearer a trim physique, emphasizing wide shoulders and a pouting chest?
• Men started wearing belts in the 1920s, as trouser waists fell to a lower line? So the belts were used only for keeping a man's trousers intact!
• Before the 1920s, belts served mainly for decorative purposes in the western world, and were associated with the military?

There are various other reasons as to why belts were originally worn. We have named only a few!

Belts have an interesting history! They served a purpose beyond simply enhancing fashion and style (and still presently serve as a higher symbol for some people)! The belt's various, less practical applications and uses is what also makes belt wearing so cool and meaningful. This brings us to our beloved PRASM brand...

PRASM belts not only serve a significant purpose through the symbolism of colors (as discussed in the post Why Should You Care About Color?), but it also serves a higher purpose simply because your wearing a belt! So you get the best of both worlds when you rock a PRASM belt -the energy from color frequencies and the spiritual and 'in-tune' symbolism of wearing a belt at the center of your body! Who knew that adorning yourself with a belt could be so significant?

PRASM is a wonderful way to link the importance of color with the importance of wearing a belt, and PRASM is the coolest way to look good while doing so!!!

Why Should You Care About Color?

Color is not simply a way to make a statement, but it is a way to encourage yourself and others around you! How does this work? Well, colors come with their own energies or vibrations (as established by science) and can influence your day or even your life!

For instance, if one morning you find yourself in a funk and you feel like the whole day is going to drag, you can add something yellow to your attire. Yellow is known for its ability to bring joy, happiness and fun! If you feel unstable in a particular environment, situation or just in general, you can wear dark brown to promote stability and make you feel more in control! Wearing orange is a fantastic way to start a day of school or work because it promotes energy and intellect, two things that are useful for situations that call for flexing our brain capacity! On a particular day you may have to function in a hustle and bustle environment, one in which you may not feel at ease... This is where the color blue would be helpful for it promotes peace and tranquility! Don't knock the power of colors until you try incorporating them into your everyday life! Sometimes it only takes a simple action to lift our spirits and get us on track! Adding color to your life is one of the "age-old" ways do it!
