The minimalist look is so yesterday!

Belts have been in for ages, and they're great for jazzing up an outfit for work, play or leisure. Let’s face it: we wouldn’t be seen dead in our skinnies, sweaters or jersey dresses without the right belt.

As ever, belts are a wardrobe staple this autumn and winter. Use them to clinch in your waist and accentuate your curves! Get creative with leather, cloth, metal, studs, jewels and beads. You can accessorise any look with the right belt, be it casual, smart, or even uber-glam with sexy high-waist belts.

Here’s our style guide to the best belts around at the minute. Do you do casual, city chic or luxury? Find which of our three looks is best for you.
