This chain belt is very heavy. I would prefer it to be lighter in weight but I was in search of a silver toned chain belt and this was the only one I could find. I like to wear a chain belt when I am wearing a monochromatic outfit. It breaks up the all solid look and adds a little sparkle to any outfit. This belt is a little too heavy for rayon materials but will be fine with jersey or cotton blends. I will continue to search for a light weight chain that can be worn with dressier materials.
