Tied to the past
Corset belts are a cross between the old-fashioned corsets and a wide belt. With its ability to shape your waistline, give structure to your apparels, and due to its versatility, this retro accessory is finding its way back into the millenial's wardrobe. "They're bold, they stand out, and they need to be worn with a healthy dose of confidence," fashion designer Maheka Mirpuri shares.

Wearing corset belts with oversized T-shirts as a dress is a trend at the moment, with a bunch of online retailers getting models to emulate the look. This, Mirpuri says, is a clever way of using the corset belt as it helps spruce up simple clothes and makes for an edgy look. "Pair the look with knee boots. It's sexy and easy," she suggests, adding, "Corset belts are a great way to break up a midi dress, especially if the belt is of a different colour from the dress. However, you can always choose to wear it on a fancy evening with a dress."
