When it comes to your waist, the golden rule is to keep it cinched. Belts have been making their presence felt on F/W 2018 runways — from Versace, to Elie Saab and Gucci. This little add-on packs a big punch when it comes to elevating your style while also slimming your silhouette into a flattering hourglass. When it comes to evening wear, the easiest way to change the look of a gown you sported before is to wear a belt. It is also the best alternative to altering.
Suffice it to say, the styling possibilities are infinite, as is the internet’s statement belt selection. Here, I’ve narrowed it down for you.
Le Fleur flower-embellished crepe belt by Adriana Degreas
Leather corset belt by Alexander McQueen
Velvet waist belt by Attico
Embellished silk waist belt by Saint Laurent
High waist leather belt by Alberta Ferretti
Amore bow belt by Dolce & Gabbana
Studded leather waist belt by Alaïa
Bejeweled belt by N°21
Elore crystal-embellished velvet belt by Isabel Marant
Heart embellished bicolour rope belt with tassels by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini
Studded leather belt by Elie Saab
My personal favorites are the ones by Dolce & Gabbana and Alaïa. They work for nearly everything.

Sweater dressing has been trendy since quite awhile but this winter you can indulge in reminiscences of all those gorgeous and easy looks from the `70s and `80s. Preferably loose-knit and tone on tone, we will enjoy the new comfortable freedom. Wear your sweater dresses with opaque tights, ankle boots and the must-have accessory: a thin belt around the waist!
Extra long boyish cardigans can also do a similiar job. Stella McCartney has some seriously sexy ones. If you like you can combine them with a wide belt like Sonia Rykiel showed on the runway which will give your outfit more shape and spice it up.
You will be surprised how another oldie out of your closet can look brand new this season if you play a litttle with it. The Chanel way looks so sexy. A belted sweater worn as an ultra-mini dress combined with fur overknee boots.
In case that you just cannot wait for all these gorgeous runway looks to arrive, I have provided a fabulous pre-fall 2010 look for you that is already available:
Wrap up the new season with a leather self-tie belt by Vionnet worn over a loose cashmere knitted dress like the one by Chloé. The goat hair trench coat by Burberry Prorsum would finish off your look with style along with the suede knee-high wedge boots by Guiseppe Zanotti and the sloughy bag by See by Chloé.
Comfortable and übercool in one!
LoL, Sandra
