29 Oct 18 Slinkiest Chain Belts to Try Now

IT’S TIME TO DIG THROUGH YOUR 90’s / 00’s ARCHIVES AND GET REACQUAINTED WITH YOUR OLD FAVOURITE ACCESSORY, THE CHAIN BELT.

Amongst the crop of 90’s and Y2K trends that have been popping up fervently in recent times, the chain belt or waist chain is one that just seems to be looking chicer and chicer. Having adorned our feet and bags with chains of all sizes, it was only a matter of time until we turned our attention to the rest of our bodies. Suddenly a chain belt seems a perfectly nostalgic and chic way to add a little je ne sais quoi to your jeans-and-a-nice-top party look. Alternatively go for some 90’s Chanel vibes and slink a chain belt around your mini. If you’re looking for a way to update your transitional oversized blazer and jeans, look no further than a bit of waist chain action. A chain belt is basically going to add just a little touch of much needed pizazz to all your outfits this season. It will be a wise investment if you haven’t already unearthed one from your archives. Slightly lairy, but very fabulous vintage Versace, Chanel or Gucci numbers are hot ticket items. If your budget is slightly less grand try a deep dive on Etsy for something less fancy, but equally as stylish. Naturally the high street has you covered, as may your own wardrobe if you managed to hang on to your beloved waist bling from last time around.

A vintage Chanel chain belt is the ultimate. It won’t come cheap, but you will keep it for life. As it should hold onto its resale value, it’s definitely an investment piece.

Vestiaire Collective is not just good for pricey designer items, maybe you will also find a high street treat from the last time this trend graced our waists.

On the other hand, a designer treat doesn’t have to cost the earth as proved by this Celine number.

Etsy is a hotbed of 90’s and 00’s chain belts at very reasonable prices.

Aside from great vintage offerings, a handmade pick is a great way to keep it unique and local

This trend is super easy to pick up on second hand but if you can’t find what you are looking for, the high street also has you covered.

Black & Brown’s handmade belts are so gorgeous. This chic link chain belt has a perfect touch of retro vibes.

This slinky number is just waiting to be draped around your waist or hips.

This is just too pretty and gorgeously delicate.

Not a fan of gold accessories? Snap up this silver number from New Look.

H&M’s offering is not only very budget friendly but also subtly chic.

As is this number from Bottega, which can also be worn as a necklace.

This textured metal buckle belt from Zara looks way more expensive that it is.

This delicate but detailed Saint Laurent belt is so versatile and will elevate everything you wear.

I like the addition of the black enamel on this logo heavy, but delicately sized Gucci chain belt.
