If there’s something that 2017 has taught us it is to let go of the belief that belts are for holding up ratty old jeans. The year, and the celebrities with fabulous outfits, made us forget our childhood associations with the belt and embrace it as the ultimate fashion game changer. Sarees, lehengas, tunics, dresses, jumpsuits – was there anything that our favourite style icons didn’t cinch with a belt?

We have picked the best belts for you to cinch up your shift dresses and flowy kurtis. From lace-up corset style to studded wide belts, we have the lowdown right here!
