This Is Why You Should Belt Your Blazer

While belting a blazer isn’t a new concept, the spring runway presented an update on the pairing. In lieu of a wide and bulky belt, which can be tricky to pull off if you lack a long torso and lean stature, Rodolfo Paglialunga of Jil Sander showed a skinny leather rope, creating a softer, more feminine silhouette (pictured above). Below, we show three other subtle—almost delicate—belts that can be cinched with blazers you already own in your closet.
