Jennifer Aniston has been photographed wearing one. So have Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Dakota Johnson, to name a few. We’re talking about the iconic Gucci logo belt. While we hear about statement shoes or the “It” bag of the season, belts don’t get nearly as much love.
But as the double-G belt — and other luxury waist cinchers — have earned a spot in the closet of many famous faces, that’s been changing. Some of the best designer belts can instantly elevate your look, whether you’re wearing a tee and jeans or a cocktail dress. They’re also an easy way to accentuate your waist. And as seen on runways and the streets over the last few years, logo mania is still all the rage — but even the more subtle pieces that nod to iconic fashion houses’ motifs can prove you’re in on Hollywood’s style secret.
