The Ultimate Accessory for 2025 Fashion Week
During the latest Fashion Week, spanning cities like New York, London, Milan, and Paris, designers universally embraced an accessory that’s already a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. Here’s how to style it in 2025.
The Resurgence of the Belt
Iconic designers like Rokh, Schiaparelli, Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham, Christopher Esber, and Issey Miyake, to name a few, highlighted the same key accessory in their Fall-Winter 2025 collections. The humble belt, far from revolutionary in concept, has been transformed in how it’s worn. This season, it’s not just a tool for cinching trousers but has evolved into a statement piece in various forms—whether as a leather strap, a chain, adorned with logos, oversized, or minimalist. However, the most striking aspect showcased during Fashion Week was not the design or color of the belts, but rather the innovative ways they were styled.
At Schiaparelli, belts defined silhouettes so distinctly that women’s figures were sculpted into hourglass shapes. This was evident in the outfits favored by celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Demi Moore at high-profile events. This season, designer Daniel Roseberry moved beyond integrated corsets and typical belt placements, opting instead for multiple belts layered at the hips, creating a bold maximalist statement with large metallic buckles.
Rokh placed belts below the hips, elongating the torso, while Victoria Beckham chose to accentuate the waist by positioning belts over the hips on knit tops. Dsquared2 took the concept even further by constructing a top entirely out of belts, pushing the boundaries of traditional belt use.
Beyond Traditional Use
The innovation didn’t stop at clothing. Belts have also made their way into accessories, doubling as both a waist cincher and a stylish addition to bags. This trend was prominently featured in the Schiaparelli show and seen in Balmain’s new Anthem bag, proving that in 2025, belts serve multiple purposes.
Fashion houses have clearly demonstrated that in 2025, belts are no longer just functional accessories for holding up pants but are key to layering and adding complexity to an outfit. They encourage fashion enthusiasts to experiment with mismatched styles and have fun with layering multiple belts for a bold, fashioned-forward look.
