Wrap belts
Belts are always a great accessory for dresses, tops, and even sweaters. They do double duty - not only do they add an unexpected touch of color and detail to any outfit, they also have shape-altering powers when worn over an blouson silhouette. But let's face it, sometimes a belt can be tricky - large ones look a little harsh, while skinny belts tend to get lost in fabric.
Luckily, the newest belt trend doesn't fall into either of these traps. Wrap belts are basically large strips of fabric that can be worn around the midsection. They come with two long strings on either end, which cross around the body and can be either tied or knotted anywhere on the body.
I love to wear my wrap belt (a black satin $13 steal from Nordstrom) high on my waist, with the two straps tied in a bow at the side. I've found that the belts look sleeker than stiffer counterparts, and the bow adds a really cute, feminine flair to a shapeless dress.
Check out these Asian-inspired belts in lace, leather, or satin. Each fabric has a decidedly different feel - with wrap belts, the possibilities are endless.
