With autumn well underway, it's a good time to take stock of what runway trends are actually translating into daily wear. From the 2024 collections so far, there's one accessory that's making its way into more and more, street style and even red carpets: wide belts & big buckles.

Belts & Buckles serve a functional purpose as much as a fashionable one. The right one can not only hold up your bottoms, but it can also add that special sauce, so to speak, on top of any ensemble.

The waist- (or hip-) cinching belt buckle accessory has been all over in recent collections, in various forms: Glimmering belts and buckles slung low around the hips for Spring 2025, while brands activated the style, meanwhile, fashions top-handles alternated onto wide waist Belt Buckles for Spring 2025.

It's resonating off the runway, too. Launchmetrics reported a 60% increase in social buzz (i.e. online mentions) for wide belts this past summer; meanwhile, big, gaudy western belt buckles — are trending again, with nearly double the amount of searches (194% in social buzz) compared to last spring.
