Belting up is one of 2019's key swimwear trends [1], and there are plenty of stylish ways to wear the look. Take your pick from the thick bands that the Love Island lot [2] are wearing to disguise their mic packs, or choose subtle sashes and skinny ties for a different take. Or you can tick off another of this year's on-trend looks by going for a bikini or swimsuit with statement metal hardware fastenings.
We've picked out plenty of other options that cover the season's key trends, from animal print and stripes to bright neon shades and candy colours. Ahead, browse our favourite belted swimwear choices across a wide range of prices for every style and body type, from skimpy bikinis to full-coverage swimsuits, and get ready to belt up in style this Summer.
