Looking for an easy way to transform and old coat or one of those smock dresses that have been hanging in your wardrobe from years ago? Then you need a belt.
This simple accessory can do wonders for any outfit and as style advisers will tell you, can instantly change a baggy blouse into a fitted top that shows off your shape.
Over the past few days, two celebrities have caught our eye and we think they show just how versatile a belt can be.
We’re still wrapped up warm against the winter so when we head outside, we’re going to be following Ashley Olsen’s lead, who arrived for her appearance on Good Morning America in a smart navy blue coat, livened up with a vintage-looking orange leather belt.
Similarly, star of reality TV show The City Olivia Palermo stepped out in New York recently and kept her palette neutral for a great office-worthy look of heels, black tights, cute tailored shorts and a cream cardigan, finished off with a slim dark waist belt.
Just remember not to let the rest of your outfit get too fussy and experiment with using classic skinny leather belts to cinch in your waist.
