Q: What does size 90 mean for this Chanel belt?

Q: Can this chain belt be worn on the waist as well as the hips?
A: Yes, chain belts like this are often styled either at the waist or lower on the hips, depending on your outfit and proportions. The best fit will depend on your measurements and how much drape you prefer.
