How to Style a Statement Belt
A belt is one of the fastest ways to add shape to a flowing abaya or kaftan — worn loosely at the natural waist, it defines the silhouette without needing a different, more fitted piece.
Wide belts suit heavier fabrics like wool-blend coats, while thinner, more delicate belts work better over lighter crepe and chiffon.
For an evening look, a metallic or embellished belt can double as the outfit's main accessory, meaning you can keep jewelry minimal elsewhere.
