Summer is in full swing and it’s time we upgraded our seasonal wardrobes. So we decided to take a look back at the Spring 2019 runways for inspiration. What we found were belts, belts and even more belts. From cinched metallic versions to wide knotted ones, almost every kind of belt was represented. And we can’t forget the utility belt bags.
But where you wear these belts is even more important. While Givenchy and Alexander Wang went seriously high, Chloe, Cividini and others aimed low. Depending on where you cinch, your look can take on a whole new vibe, making belts one of the best investments of summer.
Check out the slideshow above for some runway-approved ways to rock a belt this summer.
Runway-Approved Ways to Rock Belts This Summer
-
Chanel Spring 2019
Nobody does logomania like Chanel. But you can replicate this look without the brand recognition. Simply layer a few low-slung metallic belts over your basic black slacks.
-
Marc Jacobs Spring 2019
Secure those high-waisted bottoms with a strategically placed skinny belt. Balance things out with a cropped top and a flashy choker.
-
Alexander Wang Spring 2019
Why wear one belt when you can wear four? Wrap them around an oversized blazer and up the rocker ante with chain-link pumps.
-
Givenchy Spring 2019
Pair an 80s-style wide black belt with a cut-out top for a little negative space fun.
-
Chloe Spring 2019
Yes, you can sport a belt with shorts. Just opt for a nautical-themed rope version and top it off with a glitzy top.
-
Francesca Liberatore Spring 2019
Tie your belt into the rest of your outfit. Neon is still hot so use a bright yellow belt to highlight the look.
-
Cividini Spring 2019
Team a skinny belt with a utility belt bag a la Cividini. Slip the actual belt into the loops of your pants, then wrap the belt bag underneath.
-
Agnona Spring 2019
A fantastic lesson in neutral dressing, the key to this layered look is tucking the tail of your belt into the buckle.
-
Balmain Spring 2019
Tuck your top into a matching high-waisted pencil skirt, then wrap a coordinating belt around your natural waistline for added definition. Transition to fall by working in a complementary blazer and pants.
