With all the belts coming our way, it’s sometimes easy to forget about the mother of all belts, also known as the chain belts. Naturally, their rigid nature makes them hard to style if you’re not willing to be bold and daring. But on the off-chance that you are, it’s all worth the effort and wait.

We couldn’t help but notice the abundance of these beauties on the runways, from Versace’s show to CHANEL, Balmain and Balenciaga’s collections – amongst others. One thing they all had in common is glam, as they all were a true testament to the designers’ creativity.

These chain belts come in a range of styles and can be worn in various ways. But most importantly, these belts are this season’s must-haves and you would be amiss no to give them a go.

Below, we’ve scoured some runway inspos to help you style them, along with a series of It-belts worth investing in.
