This Is The Statement Accessory That All The Streetstyle Stars Were Wearing At Fashion Week
Whether worn with pants, skirts or layered over coats and jackets, the statement belt was THE accessory spotted everywhere this F/W'18 season. Here's how to rock the bold accessory, courtesy of the most fashionable streetstyle stars.

#1: Play with proportions
A gigantic belt (might be more of a corset, really) is a fun piece that you can style in a myriad of ways. Let your imagination go wild by putting unique pieces together, such as a classic white shirt, a tube top, dress or jumpsuit, and the belt.
#2: Over your shirt
A thick, studded belt can add an edge to any look - wear it layered over your blouse - but under your outerwear - to add a bit more jazz to your outfit. Want to let your belt do double duty? Why not make it an easy place to hang your shades too (and make a fashion statement at the same time)?
#3: Over a blazer
This is a sure-win outfit styling trick: pair a structured blazer with a skirt and boots, and pull everything together with a standout belt. It's a flattering silhouette and you'll look super polished and chic.
#4: Cinch that waist
If you're wearing a long coat or dress, using a belt to cinch your waist can help break up the look and add a bit of much-needed contrast.
#5: Pair with standout accessories
A statement belt can look good on its own, but it can also work with various other statement accessories for an eye-catching overall look. Pair with some stylish shades, a neckerchief, a cute clutch - the works.
#6: With high-waisted pants
Accentuate your timeless, high-waisted black pants with a nice belt. It adds a bit of drama to the outfit to make it more interesting.
#7: Over a coat
This is one styling trick to save for those cold weather holidays - layer a logo belt over your coat for a simple yet sophisticated way to amp up your look. This works particularly well paired with a turtleneck sweater underneath.
#8: With a midi skirt
A statement belt can work really well with a midi skirt too. The metal logo of this one complements the metallic skirt and the gold buttons on the blazer.
#9: With jeans
A statement belt with jeans can never go wrong - exude the trendy 90s vibe by going with mom jeans. Pair with a vintage-esque top and tinted shades and you're all set.
