My outfits used to completely revolve round a stylish assertion piece, and whereas I nonetheless love a ruffle-y high or silver pair of pants, I’ve discovered myself styling outfits totally out of fundamentals greater than I ever have. Each time I dress, I’ve to speak myself out of throwing on a pair of saggy denims, crewneck sweater, and sneakers and calling it a day. My mind alerts my “that is boring!” radar earlier than the thought even absolutely filters by way of my mind, however as I’ve navigated my newfound love for fundamentals, one piece has constantly made them really feel, nicely, an entire lot much less fundamental.
Assertion jewellery and sneakers get fixed love and credit score for having the ability to remodel an outfit in a single fell swoop, however a press release belt? They go largely unnoticed, and I’m on a mission to vary that. I really feel that individuals’s minds go to emblem belts or basic ones, and disrespect all the vary of non-basic, game-changing varieties that reside someplace within the center. With the rise of the sold-out studded Khaite Benny Belt, that’s slowly however absolutely altering, however you additionally don’t have to spend $600 on a stylish belt—been there, completed that, says the Gucci belt sitting in my closet—to get in on the transformative magic a belt can maintain.
Give it some thought: You’re throwing on denims and a T-shirt, and your favourite jewellery is already layered on. You tuck the tee in, add a belt, and growth—it goes from errand uniform to deliberately styled look. You heard it right here first, of us: 2024 is the yr of the belt.
