Buckle up as L'OFFICIEL rounds up the best belts to add to your wardrobe.&nbsp;

Since the Bronze Age, belts have been a popular outfit staple, commonly used to secure clothing in place. However, the classic staple of gentleman&rsquo;s suiting has evolved beyond its age-old purpose of holding up a pair of pants. Nowadays, its accessorizing function eclipses its practical use.&nbsp;
It has been a beloved accessory over the past few decades due to its limitless ability to transform any ensemble. Think the oversized, chunky belts that dominated the late 2000s and early 2010s. During <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/young-kate-moss-style-90s-to-today">Kate Moss&rsquo;s</a> iconic 2005 muddy <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-glastonbury-looks-throughout-history-kate-moss-florence-welch-suki-waterhouse">Glastonbury</a> escapade, she paired micro shorts with a crystal-studded belt to add a bit of sparkle to brighten up the dreary day. On a casual outing to Heart FM in 2006, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-hilton-nicole-richie-twinning-moments-y2k-outfits">Paris Hilton&rsquo;s</a> aggressively wide black belt strapped over the midsection of her white tank top made it impossible to look away. The capacity of belts to tie a look together and create a more flattering appearance is awe-inspiring. Stars like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/sabrina-carpenter-hair-please-please-please-music-video-how-to">Sabrina Carpenter</a> have weaponized eye-catching belts to nail her Old Hollywood pinup model aesthetic and make her more unstoppable than she already is, while actresses like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/apc-katie-holmes-collaboration">Katie Holmes</a> reach for more <a href="https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/katie-holmes-chanel-tank-top-jeans-tribeca-festival-1236426321/">delicate versions</a> of the silhouette to add a pop of flair to her outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The belt&rsquo;s aptness for elevating any outfit should not be underestimated. It can help you express yourself, add a sense of balance, create texture, or help incorporate color into otherwise pared-back attire. It&rsquo;s no surprise why the women's belt has had such incredible staying power. Whether you are searching for a piece that makes a big statement or a style that is more subtly luxurious, the variations of belts are endless. Here, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounds up some of the best women's belts you will be eager to make the centerpiece of your next outfit.
