Sure, shoes and handbags are worthy of the attention they frequently receive, but this year, there is no ignoring the accessory that makes every outfit more flattering: belts. It girls like Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and Blake Lively have been cinching them over dresses and coats, into the belt loops of their jeans, and over jumpsuits as of late, proving that it's a simple way to define your waist and add interest to your look. Belts have been and always will be a thing, but as you'll see from the celeb looks ahead, 2017 has undoubtedly been the year they've truly stood out as an It accessory.
