In the early 2000s, no outfit was complete without a bold, statement belt. And though some elements of noughties style have threatened their return over the past few seasons—low waists, diamantés and medallion styles have popped back up as part of the Y2K revival—it’s this latest iteration that we’re now focused on. Statement in size but refined in look, this fresh take on waist belts is understated yet impactful. And we’ve spotted it in pride of place on the runways, from Carolina Herrera’s resort collection to Alaïa’s Winter/Spring 2024 show just days ago.
