Forget Skinny Jeans, Right Now It's All About Skinny Belts and the Skinnier, the Better

Skinny jeans have a bad reputation. Kinda deservedly so. They're uncomfortable to wear, even after you break them in. Don't even get us started on the no-waist ones from the early aughts. Unfortunately, they've been slowly but surely creeping their way back into fashion. Thankfully, other styles like baggy jeans and flares are sharing the spotlight so it's not a total takeover. Another style staple is getting thinner, but in this case we're actually thrilled. That's because skinny belts make any outfit eons better.

While wide, statement belts had a nice long run, it's time to downsize. We have big-name brands like Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta to thank for the switch. Super slim, almost invisible belts are all the rage. Their pared-down shape doesn't mean they skimp on personality, however. Many of the designer ones still manage to work their logos in there.
