The right belts can instantly make or break an outfit! What are the best ways to style your belts?
A belt can instantly give shape to flowy or oversized dresses by cinching at the waist. Choose a contrasting belt for a statement look or a tone-on-tone belt for a sleek effect. Additionally, belting outerwear like a blazer or trench coat adds structure and makes your silhouette more defined, even with bulkier layers. Pair it with your jeans
For a timeless style, wear a belt with high-waisted jeans or trousers. Opt for neutral colors like black, brown, or tan to complement most outfits. Make a statement
A wide belt over a fitted dress or top creates an hourglass shape and serves as a statement accessory. This works well for both casual and formal outfits. If you want to opt for a bold look, a statement buckle belt can work wonders for any outfit. High-Waisted Styling
High-waisted skirts or shorts pair beautifully with belts, particularly when tucking in your top. This look elongates the legs and gives an overall polished appearance. Known for its timeless nature, shelf life: any designer belt is a wearable wardrobe essential that'll tie all of your basics together, worn best through the waist loops of your favourite vintage denim.
So, swipe through our guide of editor-approved belts to *add to cart* for a timeless wardrobe. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram October's – The Bold Issue – Download Now

25 editor-approved summer bags with a city-to-beach appeal
Time to swap your leather totes for chic city-to-beach summer bags that are equal parts vacation-ready and everyday-appropriate. It's a versatile hero piece that deserves a permanent place in your rotation this season. Make the most of your investment purchase this summer with a sculptural bag that effortlessly blends a beachy, artisanal mood with a polished, city-chic sensibility. Think hand-woven details, earthy materials, artisanal craftsmanship, sculptural hardware, elevated finishes, and refined shapes that transition seamlessly from poolside lounging to city strolling. Don't shy away from unique silhouettes and unexpected materials. Think canvas and mesh trimmed with leather, bold shapes softened by natural weaves, and bags that offer both aesthetic appeal and practical prowess. Case in point: Savette's mesh reinterpretation of the 'Symmetry Pochette,' a minimal yet modern nod to summer texture, and Jacquemus' 'Rond Carré' bag, a playful but polished piece featuring wooden accents and sculptural curves. Opt for fabrics that feel synonymous with summer—raffia, crochet, mesh, or canvas—and style them with everything from breezy co-ords, lightweight tailoring, statement summer dresses, or even the classic jeans-and-white-tee ensemble. Look for designs that strike the perfect balance between form and function: roomy enough with hidden compartments and wide interiors to stow your daily and getaway essentials, yet elegant enough to complement your day-to-day wardrobe, making these the perfect companions for your airport sprints, office days, and leisurely afternoons by the sea.
