Designer logo belts are back in fashion

The logo belt is back!

Flashy designer logo belts were all the rage in the 2000s; this season the  accessory is available in a variety of styles from big and bold to more understated.

On the runways, luxury Parisian label Chloe debuted oversized options featuring the brand’s name in script as part of their fall 24 ready to wear collection. 

Eye-catching waist cinchers added an element of edge to a host of day and evening looks. 

On the streets, celebs like Bella Hadid and Irina Shayk have been spotted in simpler designs that serve the practical purpose of holding up their pants and a significant style element to their look.

Bella Hadid was spotted on the streets of New York in a look that was equal parts sexy and chic.

The 27-year-old put her perfect pins on display in a grey suit featuring a single-breasted blazer and micro mini skort.

She added a trendy twist to here professional ensemble with a burgundy handbag, platform loafers and black Double G logo belt, all by Gucci. 

Almost every look at Chloe’s fall showcase was made complete with a large belt.

Whether worn around the hips or cinching the waist, the gold accessory added interest and texture to casual and formal designs. 

But not all belts have to be supersized to pack a punch. 

Irina Shayk stepped out in New York last week in a denim outfit that looked polished and planned.

The 38-year-old beauty tucked a printed blouse into a pair of black jeans and accentuated her hourglass silhouette with the Hermes ‘H’ buckle belt. 

During Milan Fashion Week, YouTuber Valkyrae (real name Rachell Marie Hofstetter) nailed designer street style in an all Gucci look.

With her long black hair styled in perfect waves, the 32-year-old wore a sheer button-down shirt over a matching bra with dark wash blue jeans.

She elevated her ensemble with black sunglasses and a black leather Gucci belt worn at her waist.

Joining Valkyrae in Milan wearing a similar look was Solange Knowles.

The 37-year-old singer was spotted in a black jacket worn as a shirt and oversize blue jeans held up with a Gucci belt. 

More sporty but just as chic, Amandine Petit embraced the athleisure at the 2024 French Open.

The French model and beauty pageant titleholder donned a cream varsity sweater topped by a green Lacoste bomber jacket, paired with light wash blue jeans.

She doubled down on the athletic look with a park of stark white sneakers, and then offset the casual getup with the ultimate luxe detail: a logo belt.

If you have one in your closet from 20 years ago, it’s time to dust it off!
