Despite our love of free-flowing pieces in hot sticky weather, nothing sharpens the edges of a favorite look like a good belt. And from chains and studs to earthy wovens, finding just the right middle ground is now a total cinch. We're loving new versions with multiple straps, geometric buckles, skinny pops of color, and an array of warm earth-tones. Be they waist-hugging or hip-slung, these eye-catching straps will change up your usual summer silhouette and add polish to your go-to pleated trousers and high-waisted shorts.
