One Stylish Hack Bollywood OD’d On In 2017 (& You Should Do It Too!)

Going by celebrity posts, if there’s one fashion accessory that all our Bollywood celebrities have zealously embraced in 2017 it is the belts. Yes, the simple hold-your-pants-up accessory has moved a notch higher. Whether it’s a cocktail dress, distressed jeans or a saree, belts have the ability to transform your look from basic to bombastic.  

We all have one in our closet, but we don’t always know how to carry it. We ask the celebrities for help, and here are the 13 different ways they innovated and OD’d on belts to create styling magic.

1. Belted In Bohemian

Who would have thought an accessory as easy as a belt could take a Label Ritu Kumar piece to a new level of gorgeous! How about tassel earrings, your everyday blue jeans, and the golden ‘match your belt and shoes’ rule for the win.

2. The Gala Girl

‘Belts are too casual’, would now say no one ever! We love how a simple black belt can add to the glam of velvet and shimmer. Have a party to attend? Maybe you can ditch your big jewellery this time.

We like big belts and we cannot lie! Luscious lips, statement sleeves, high-waisted pants, and a belt that won’t quit – all red everything is the new black this season. Go easy on the accessories to look high-street.

5. The Basic Chic

Have a t-shirt dress just lying in your closet? Well, it’s time you take it out, put on your pumps, messy-tie up your hair and let a statement belt take care of the rest. Don’t forget a nude lipper and smokey eyes.

When we first saw the #DressOverPants trend, it was love at first sight! After all, it gave us the liberty to wear our summer dresses in winter! A flared sleeves sheer dress cinched with a classic belt over slashed-knee jeans, ah, does it get better than that!

7. Indian With A Twist

Haven’t we all, at least once in our lives, thought of hacks to transform a simple kurti-churidaar ensemble? As much as a cute bindi and embroidered dupatta helps, try a studded belt, like Kriti, and you’ll feel like a Sabyasachi model.
