Belts have evolved far beyond their original role. No longer are they just the finishing touch to tailoring, they’ve become one of the most expressive styling tools in the wardrobe – shaping silhouettes, taming layers, and adding visual weight to soft, fluid pieces.
This season, belts are treated as design elements rather than hardware. Sculpted buckles, draped leather, embroidery and mixed materials give them a jewellery-like appearance, intended to be seen rather than hidden away.
Worn over knits, dresses and soft layered separates, these styles change proportions and introduce structure to otherwise fluid silhouettes. The effect is intentionally contrasting – clean lines meet softness.
More than defining the waist, these belts create a point of focus, framing the outfit and adding depth, balance and visual interest.
