Belts have quietly become one of the trendiest accessories that I never expected to care so much about, and yet here I am — fully in my belt era.
Though it may seem minor, the right belt can completely alter the vibe of a look, adding a subtle lift, sharper silhouette, and an instant sense of intention. Whether you're styling your work fit or a lunch-with-the-girls look, a little extra attention to your hip region can transform even the simplest of outfits. And the best part? You don't need to spend a fortune to up your fashion game.
Good news: For those of us who are ballin' on a budget, but aspire to own a Carrie Bradshaw-grade collection of accessories, some of the most stylish, cool‑girl‑coded belts on the market right now sit comfortably under the $100 mark.
Watch: There's a new belt trend on the rise that you need to try this summer. Post continues below.
