Already adopted by Dua Lipa and Kaia Gerber, this star accessory from the 90s is back in the spotlight. Focus.
Because the devil is in the details, sometimes you just need the right accessory to transform a classic look into an ultra-trendy silhouette. This season, it’s a belt model in particular that is changing our fashion quotient and taking us back in time to the 90s.
With its very vintage look, the big belt decorated with eyelets or rhinestones makes a resounding return to the accessories of the moment. The idea is not new: the It girls of the 1990s and 2000s, like Kate Moss, Shakira, Britney Spears and Sienna Miller had already done maxi belt their favorite accessory. One clarification, however: do not rely on this piece to tighten a garment that is too large. This thick piece of leather placed nonchalantly on the hips has no other use here than to add a touch of bling to the #ootd. Proof of this is: Illusion, Dua Lipa’s latest music video. In this video, the star wears a transparent red dress which she accessorizes with a big belt which serves absolutely no purpose, apart from looking pretty in the image.
How to wear an XXL belt in 2024?
What goes best with this imposing belt are the pieces from the 2000s like low-rise baggy jeans, a crop top, a denim skirt, a wide leather jacket, a micro bag or even hoop earrings. You can also make this vintage accessory the star of the outfit by opting for a simple look like a long plain dress or a white bohemian-style skirt combined with black or brown cowboy boots. The belt can also bend an oversized shirt, teamed with shorts and a pair of sandals for the perfect summer outfit. And to get your hands on a pretty XXL model, head to thrift stores and second-hand sites. Ready to succumb to the trend?
