When it comes to accessories, belts aren’t usually high on the list for ladies. Guys see them as a staple, but girls might look at a belt and see it as a little something extra. But reconsider the notion, because a little belt is the perfect way to add a touch more to an outfit, polishing it off and giving it just the right amount of punch without going over the line. Modern Ensemble’s Jennifer Wilson is a fan of these petite add-ons, adding them to her rotation of high-waisted denim, bohemian maxis and more.
“Lately I have been accessorizing with thin belts a lot,” Wilson says. “I love J.Crew’s selection and a simple belt can really give an outfit a finished look in any season.”
And even better, you can almost always snag a belt for much less than $100 and since they’re usually built tough, you won’t be needing to replace them every season, either. A rotation of black and brown is great, but don’t underestimate the power of a little animal print or a bright, bold hue.
