Belt it out.

Running parallel to this season’s oversized trend is something that truly embraces the female form. Designers have been experimenting this season with the humble belt, and not just to hold up trousers and to go on top of dresses! The A/W belt can be seen layered over blazers, tunics, chunky knits, pencil skirts and even coats to cinch you in at the waist and give you enviable style credentials.

Softly structured curves created classic hourglass shapes in stark contrast to other highly geometric pieces seen on the runways, making belted up style one of the most feminine trends this season in terms of figure.Whether they’re thick and futuristic like Acne, heritage style with bow detailing a la Burberry Prorsum, or harness belts such as those at Hervé Léger, they all played huge parts in pulling together some of the most amazing shows of the A/W catwalks. 
Here’s a selection of my personal favourites:

Which trend do you prefer - oversized or belted up?
