One Belt, 15 Outfits

When it comes to building a good wardrobe, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars! All it takes is a few well-tailored classic pieces and a stand out accessory. I like to help my clients minimize how many items they have in their wardrobe by styling pieces they already have and purchasing items that will help elevate their style. A good belt can give you dozens of outfits! That’s why I focused this week’s blog on how to make the most use out of one piece (my favorite being my oversized Valentino belt), keep scrolling for more style inspiration.

 
 

If you’re a fan of the blog, you know this belt all too well. And for good reason! I’ve yet to find a single occasion that I can’t wear this accessory to. Want to style a pair of leather culottes like these ones from Frame? Throw a belt on. Want to cinch in your waist while wearing a maxi dress? Throw a belt on. Want to add a pop of color to a neutral look? Throw a belt on! How would you style this oversized accessory?

 
 

The great thing about a statement accessory like this oversized belt is it takes the guess work out of getting dressed in the morning. Planning your look around one piece is so much easier than trying to come up with an outfit from scratch! You can get creative and play with different colors, like the Farm RIO maxi dress pictured above, or you can stick with a neutral color family to keep your look streamlined and elegant.

 
 

Did I mention this belt will take you across all four seasons? That’s a key thing to keep in mind when investing in an accessory like this one, because you want to be able to use it all year long! If you’re a woman that’s always on the go, you need statement pieces that are easy to throw on yet add the perfect pop of style. Pro tip: match your shoes to your belt for an extra hint of sophistication! (and it elongates your body, too!)

 
 

The belting possibilities are endless! I’ve yet to find an occasion or outfit that I can’t wear this classic Valentino belt with. Because it’s such a neutral color, you can use it to highlight any look without detracting from the overall look and feel. I find it amazing how a simple addition can instantly elevate an outfit! What’s your favorite out of these 15 looks?
