The best part about a designer belt is that it elevates an outfit in a stylish yet low-key and practical way. In fact, a good belt can accentuate your waist. Even if you don’t have a tiny waist, the right belt will give the illusion of a smaller waist. As for those who were graced with a smaller waist, this accessory can make you look even curvier and show off some of your best assets.
But before you get your purse out, allow us to take you through the prices of the best belts from your favourite designer brands.
Bottega Veneta Horsebit Belt
Sleek with the perfect amount of pizzaz, this bold Bottega Veneta piece is exactly what you need to take your casual look to new heights. With a push-stud fastening, you can wrap it around and wear it whichever way you like, be it around your hips or waist.
What’s more, the sculptural horseshoe-shaped belt is made with luxurious French calf leather and is well worth R13,500.
Hermès Constance Belt
While Hermès Birkin bags are the quintessential status symbol, their classic ‘H’ Constance belts are just as bougie. Besides being a good investment, the piece is highly luxurious and instantly recognisable. However, the best part is definitely the reversible leather band - you're essentially getting two belts for the price of one. Therefore, making it worth the R10,000 cost. Simply flip it and style it according to your mood and ensemble.
Chanel Logo Belt
Belt or jewellery? The gorgeous Chanel logo belt is a bit of both.
Chain belts are currently one of the hottest accessories as they add a dash of fun and glamour to any outfit. This designer belt is crafted with an ultra-slim gold chain but the crystal strass Chanel studs are the true showstopper. What's more, it ties at the back like a necklace, giving the wearer room to adjust the size.
This gorgeous Chanel accessory may very well be the best on our list but it’s certainly the most expensive at R33,000 each. Still, it’s well worth the investment.
Salvatore Ferragamo Gancini Belt
Salvatore Ferragamo is one of our favourite luxury brands as they’re understated, timeless and well-suited for any age group. We’re particularly fond of the Gancini belt in the oh-so-trendy lilac shade. It’s crafted with soft Italian calf leather and a classic golden Gancini buckle that gives off a warm stylish glow. Keep in mind, it will cost you a cool R5,500 for this stunning accessory.
This vibrant Viva belt was directly inspired by Ferragamo’s famous Vara bow flats and thereby match the shoes perfectly. Like many of the brand’s belts, this item is made from soft Italian calf leather and punctuated by a classic Vara bow along with a signed metallic plate.
This stunning shade is called ‘lipstick red’, however, it’s also available in a range of other bold hues. Although it’s priced at R6,000 a pop, it’s hard to resist the urge to collect them in every colour.
Isabel Marant Lecce Leather Belt
If you hate uncomfortable belts with big buckles that dig into your skin, then the Isabel Marant Lecce belt may be the one for you. The beauty of this belt is that it has an origami-inspired tie fastening, making it easy to loop into your jeans or adjusted to wear as a waist belt with your favourite sundress. The luxuriously soft calfskin leather with a sleek, minimalist design will tie up any look perfectly. Not to mention, the original style is listed at a reasonable R2,000. However, the brand lists a larger range of Lecce belts in other gorgeous designs and set at higher prices.
Classic Gucci GG Gold Belt
If we’re talking about the best designer belts in the world, then we simply have to include the classic Gucci GG belt. The stunning intertwined G's on sleek black leather has become a staple piece and is arguably the most popular women’s designer belt of all time. A brand new GG belt will set you back at least R5,000 for the classic style.
Moschino Logo Leather Belt
Just like Gucci, Moschino is another Italian luxury fashion house that just loves logomania - and we’re here for it! This versatile belt displays its branding across the leather band with classic gold lettering and is well worth it at R 4,000.
