I Can’t Ignore It Any More—Corset Belts Are a Major Trend.
While trends in shoes and clothing can shift rapidly, accessory trends—especially those related to belts—tend to develop more gradually and thoughtfully. This durability is why I focus on accessories when a new season begins. When an accessory trend emerges, it often remains relevant, making it a more beneficial investment for my wardrobe. Accessories can drastically alter an outfit without requiring a complete change, and recently, I’ve been searching for a new piece to refresh my daily looks. After spending weeks gathering seasonal inspiration, one trend that stands out to me is the corset belt.
More striking than the skinny belt trend that has been trending this season, corset belts are making a bold appearance this summer. These attention-grabbing pieces encircle the torso with a structured fabric design, creating an hourglass shape and a sculptural look that echoes a traditional corset but is much sleeker and simpler to style. This trend has been gaining popularity over the last few months, and I anticipate it will achieve significant popularity as summer approaches, when fashion-forward individuals seek ways to enhance their outfits while minimizing layering. Indeed, the fashion industry is already acknowledging this trend.
Zac Posen has added large corset belts in neutral shades to his sought-after capsule collection for Gap, while beloved high-street brands like H&M, Zara, and & Other Stories are also exploring this silhouette. Naturally, designers like Alaïa are at the forefront with beautifully crafted, waist-cinching styles that celebrate the trend's couture origins.
These corset belts pair beautifully with slim-fitting dresses to impart structure, and I’ve also observed this trend styled stylishly over t-shirts or wrapped around blazers to elevate basic pieces into eye-catching outfits. As both a stylish choice and an easy addition, continue reading to explore the corset belts I have my eye on this season.
