Find The Type of Belt That Works For You!

For most of our childhoods, a belt was just an accessory that cinched together the made-up dresses that we used to fashion out of scarves from our mothers’ closets or for most people with Desi parents, different types of belts were a tool to fasten the two sizes too big pants that were bought for us with the promise that we would ‘grow into them eventually’. Times have changed; belts are statement pieces now – a vital part of our outfits that makes them stand out, something that brings the ‘it factor’. 

Belts come in a range of styles, from sleek leather patterns to embellished waist chains, and are capable of transforming an average outfit into something remarkable. As the hottest summer accessory, they give a touch of refinery, a pop of colour, or a hint of edge to any outfit. Whether you wear a wide belt with a flowing summer dress or a sleek, stylish belt with high-waisted shorts, the perfect type of belt can enhance your look and highlight your distinctive style.

COWBOY AESTHETIC BELTS

There have been an infinite amount of trends this year; they come and go within a short span, but the cowboy trend has stood steady through the ups and downs of the fashion cycle. Denim and leather have made a huge comeback, so have intricately detailed belt buckles. Channel your inner cowgirl with a pair of cowboy boots, a white tank, western-inspired belt buckles and some chic sunglasses.

Western silver-buckled belts have made a comeback like never before. The Louis Vuitton Men’s F/W 2024 show had lots of cowboy elements, including frayed denim jeans, iconic country belts, and the quintessential cowboy hat. Singer Bad Bunny also has a very chic interpretation of the western dressing style, the eye-catching silver belt buckle adds a unique touch to the navy ensemble.

CHUNKY BELTS

The trickle-down effect of trends like Y2K, the office siren and the corset wave was the return of the chunky belt. There are tons of different types of belts for women, but the most versatile one is the chunky belt. Whether you’re channelling your inner office siren with a chic monochromatic blazer or looking to add some flair to your low-rise jeans, a chunky belt is always the answer. 

Julia Fox wears a lot of ensembles that are conversation starters, and her eye for fashion is unparalleled. This campy all-white look has at least three very noticeable trends, all bought together with the help of a chunky white belt. 

WAIST CHAINS

Are you someone who loves to elevate your outfits using accessories? A dainty waist chain is the perfect accessory to spice up your ensembles while accentuating the way that you look. There’s something about a delicate chain that sits at the helm of your waist – it makes you look irresistible! 

Paris Hilton, the queen of Y2K and mini skirts is the woman you should be taking style cues from. A low-waisted skirt and basic tube top paired with a bedazzled choker and waist chain? Iconic

THE BELT BUCKLE

The quintessential brand logo belt buckle has always been a crowd-pleaser and it continues to work its charm on the masses. It’s the perfect gender-neutral accessory that everybody loves to wear; it elevates any basic outfit and is usually the most cost-effective thing that you can procure from your favourite luxury brand. 

The belt buckle holds the power to effortlessly become the main character. Take notes from ‘it girl’ Elsa Hosk, whose all-black outfit was bought together by the combination of a belt buckle and an amulet.

CONCLUSION

Trends may come and go, but belts will remain relevant till the end of time. They offer versatility, transforming everyday looks into remarkable ensembles that reflect individuality and creativity. Whether it’s the charming leather accents that entice you or the appeal of a delicate waist chain, a belt has the power to bring an entire ensemble together. So, as you step into the season, don’t underestimate the power of a well-chosen belt to elevate your style and make a statement.
