The Gucci bumbag & other cool belts to wear right now

Coming in all shapes and sizes the belt took centre stage during the AW17 shows. The nipped in, wasp waist silhouette covered the catwalks, giving yet another nod to an 80s wardrobe. Look to Louis Vuitton for a masterclass in how to wear a classic leather belt with any outfit, Miu Miu for any skinny or sparkly buckles or to Roksanda for chunky waist belts. A top tip from the catwalks is the bigger the coat the smaller the belt.

The great thing about this trend is how easy it is to recreate, working with everything from silky slips and maxi dresses to boxy blazers and oversized coats. After that, it is pretty much anything goes with a wide range of options available both on the high street & designer. Wrap one round any outfit or use to cinch in wide leg trousers and high waisted skirts for an instant wardrobe update.
