Put A Belt On It: 20 Waist-Cinchers That Pack A Serious Style Punch

When you’re piling on layer upon layer, it’s easy to lose sight of your own shape. Still, in weather like this (read: freezing, threatening snow) we don’t advise you to forgo a cardigan just to show off your curves. Instead, rope in the bulk — quite literally — with a belt.

Rather than wearing it through your belt loops (that’s so 2012), a bright cincher can polish up your outfit and show off your shape when you secure it around your natural waist. Either way, we’ve tracked down 20 so-chic belts that run the gamut from bright color-blocked picks to classic leather, so click through for our picks — and layer up!
