Suddenly, All the Chicest People I Know Are Upgrading Their Outfits With This Pretty Accessory Trend

Have you ever stumbled upon a trend or item that makes you feel like you've just unlocked a whole new world of styling possibilities in your wardrobe?
That’s exactly the revelation I had when I encountered my first chain belt. After spotting a series of chic outfits featuring this metallic marvel, I found myself questioning how I'd gone without one for so long.
Adding texture, dimension and a touch of metallic sheen, a chain belt can instantly elevate even the simplest outfits. Whether worn around the waist of a tailored blazer, looped through jeans or cinching a flowy dress, this trend offers more versatility than you might have imagined.
Bridging the gap between edgy and elegant, chain belts have a unique ability to energise an outfit. Pairing beautifully with everything from classic jeans or tailored trousers to more eclectic pieces like maxi dresses and boho skirts, chain belts are a surprisingly adaptable wardrobe addition.
Whilst this accessory trend has recently caught my attention, whispers of its revival have been building for some time. On the spring/summer 2025 runways, several designers embraced the chain belt as a standout piece. Adding a relaxed touch to their collections, this trend brings a soft bohemian energy to waist-cinching, offering a fresh alternative to the more structured leather belt.

One notable highlight came from Chemena Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé, where the golden chain belt—emblazoned with the Chloé logo—made a triumphant return, building on its initial success from its debut the previous season. Meanwhile, Miu Miu brought its signature playful edge to the trend, layering multiple chain belts within a single look. Styled over structured leather pieces, the layered effect added a whimsical touch to even their most polished ensembles.

I’m not ready to part ways with my trusty leather belts, but the addition of a chain belt has been a game-changer for revitalising some of my most worn pieces. Whether styled over a silky summer dress or around a wool coat in winter, this chic accessory is an instant outfit enhancer that works year-round.
