– even a baggy old t-shirt – could be transformed into a goddess-like gown thanks to the magic cinch provided a simple strip of leather. Belts could be low-slung or accentuate the waist but they were more or less ubiquitous. Remember thatsketch, “put a bird on it”? Replace “bird” with “belt” and you’ve got early 2000s fashion in a nutshell.
But after a near-decade of the belt’s reign of supremacy, the look began to feel dated. After 2008, to wear a waist-cincher telegraphed that one’s favourite store was ModCloth, one’s favourite band was Bright Eyes, and one’s preferred mode of accessorizing involved coloured tights with berets. In short, belts fell out of favour.
But lately, my spidey senses have been tingling in regards to an ever-so-subtle shift in attitudes towards belts. More specifically, corset belts. This newfound yen for heavy waist-cinchers is a fitting prelude to the upcoming season’s obsession with historical dressing. It’s a look that can skew prim when worn on top of a crisp white dress shirt, alternative if paired with a faded band t-shirt, or downright risqué when worn with something less substantial. On the runways, corset belts were paired with prim ladylike dresses, razor-sharp pantsuits and ball gowns demonstrating that though the look may be physically restrictive, when it comes to styling they’re anything but.
