For the last few seasons, fashion has been focused on the past. From resurrecting 80s staples like puff sleeves and shoulder pads to 90s faves cargo pants and square-toe sandals to 2000s-era tracksuits and double denim, history is clearly repeating itself. So we aren’t at all shocked to see chain belts are back in fashion.
From Paco Rabanne’s signature silhouette to offerings that double as necklaces, the belts definitely make a statement. Gold and silver versions are both back in rotation along with a few mixed metal options. You can go super skinny or go with a more layered look. And the new versions are surprisingly versatile.
You can use them to polish off dresses, jeans and more. They also work well with other current trends. Like micro skirts, sweater vests and blazers that aren’t already belted. You can rock them the normal way through belt loops. Or go the early aughts route and secure them around your hips as opposed to your waist. Think Kate Moss at Glastonbury.
Ready to polish off all of your go-to summer ensembles? Ahead, 13 chain belts that will up the ante on any outfit. You can spring for a designer version or pick up several fast-fashion options.
