It's time to belt up

A tailored wide belt such as the logo-emblazoned leather belts by Gucci and Valentino will dramatically demonstrate waistline-awareness, as will a skinny belt with knots or twists such as Isabel Marant’s Lecce (£195) or Lonny (£150), or Pippa Holt’s fringed cotton jacquard (£130); and any super wide belt such as a corset-belt like Loewe’s Anagram at £795 or Alaia’s laser-cut baby at £890, or a simpler one in black (Cos, £59; Mint Velvet, £55).
And, of course, a belt thrown round a blazer, a dress or a sweater now will instantly update a winter outfit, too. One word of caution, however: cinching a waist tightly may be less flattering to hips so consider letting a belt simply sit on your waist rather than pulling it in too tightly.
And always check your back view in a mirror…
