Who would’ve thought that one of the oldest fashion accessories would become the hero piece of the season? And yet, here we are: in Autumn/Winter 2025, the belt trend is officially back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more confident than ever.
Forget subtle waist-cinchers. This year’s statement belts are all about impact. Whether layered over oversized knitwear or used to define the waist of a tailored coat, a bold belt instantly adds structure and style. It’s the kind of accessory that makes a basic outfit look styled and intentional — a styling shortcut with serious payoff.
Designers are leading the charge. From Schiaparelli’s sculptural belts to Christopher Esber’s multi-wrap styles, the runways confirmed what many of us suspected: the belt isn’t just back — it’s essential. At Balmain, we saw bold, waist-cinching designs, while Chloé offered a more relaxed, Parisian take on the trend. Either way, belts for A/W 2025 are designed to be seen.
What makes the belt revival so compelling is its versatility. A single belt can elevate a look, adding shape to chunky knits, contrast to minimalist outfits, or definition to flowing silhouettes. It’s a simple way to embrace seasonal layering without losing your shape — or your style.
So if your wardrobe needs a quick update, start with a fashion-forward belt — it’s one of the easiest ways to refresh and elevate your cold-weather looks while staying ahead of the top womenswear trends for 2025.
And if you’re unsure about how to wear a belt or which style suits your body type, a personal styling session can help you find the perfect piece — and show you how to wear it with confidence!
