If there was one accessory that ruled the runways and the streets [1] of Fashion Month, it was belts. They popped up on the Fall '18 runways [2] and on street style stars at New York Fashion Week [3]. On the catwalk, models wore them over blazers and with trousers, and they came in a variety of colors and textures.
The buckle belts were surprisingly simple, reminding us that you don't have to sport crazy styles (like a lace-up corset design [4]) to make the look trendy. The accessory can easily add that fashion-girl touch to your outfits, as the imagery ahead proves. Read on to see how everyone's styling belts, shop for a few, then refresh your memory on how to cinch your outerwear [5].

When in doubt, belt your outerwear.
Don't be afraid to rock colored belts with bright outerwear.

Match your belt to your shoes.
The dress and belt is a tried-and-true combination.
