There was a time, not too long ago, when belts were purely an afterthought—something to keep your favorite jeans in the perfect spot or perhaps to define your waist in a dress. Fast-forward to 2018 and belts are taking center stage of outfits across the board. Chain versions are being added to everything from denim to swimwear, and wide belts are the focal points of tailored blazer looks.
While one could argue these additions are purely ornamental, I beg to differ. Cinching your waist is also extremely flattering. It draws the eye to the smallest part of your waist while also giving your look dimension. One scroll through Instagram will prove I'm not the only one who thinks so. Our ultra-stylish readers have been adding belts of all sorts to their looks as of late, and we're taking note. Below we're bringing you 18 outfits beyond worthy of replicating, straight from WWW readers. After a scroll through, I think you'll agree with one thing: When in doubt, belt it.
