This Woven Leather Belt Is My Secret to Elevating Any Outfit

Woven belts have made a comeback, and I've been searching for one that's thick enough to define my waist but thin enough to easily glide through belt loops. Belts have a way of adding instant polish, and if you've been entranced by the "not styled" and "styled" before-and-afters on social media, you'll notice that belts are a go-to accessory for achieving a more intentional look. I'm pretty sure I've found the perfect one, too. Madewell's Woven Leather Belt ($52) is the ideal width, comes in a few colors, and goes with pretty much everything.

What I Like About Madewell's Woven Leather Belt

It's hard to find an outfit that doesn't look better with this braided leather belt. I use it to add a waist-defining cinch to my dresses or to make a basic pair of jeans look more elevated. I love that it has minimal hardware - instead, the leather-wrapped buckle blends in seamlessly, so you can wear it with different jewelry metals. I was excited to discover that it comes in a cream color in addition to dark brown and camel. The cream makes it even more versatile, since I can wear it with shoes and bags in any color. The woven material also makes it easy to adjust exactly to your liking, since you don't have to worry about fitting the pin into a belt notch. Instead, you can just slide the clasp anywhere in the braided weave to get your ideal fit.

What's Worth Noting About Madewell's Woven Leather Belt

The belt comes in three different sizes: x-small/small, medium/large, and 1x/2x. Since most of my pants have a high waist and I use it to cinch the waist of dresses, I went with the x-small/small. I also like to avoid having too much excess strap hanging down after the buckle has been secured. I'm a size six, and this size ended up working perfectly. It's also worth noting that this belt is crafted from genuine leather, so if you're looking for a faux or vegan option, this may not be for you.

Who Is Madewell's Woven Leather Belt Best For?

This belt is great for anyone looking for a versatile option that has more of a customized fit. It can be dressed up or down and worn with different metals or bag and shoe colors.

Additional Details

  • It comes in three sizes: x-small/small, medium/large, and 1x/2x. I'm wearing the x-small/small.
  • It comes in three colors: Coffee Bean, Desert Camel, and Ecru.
  • It's made from leather and features a wrapped buckle, so the metal isn't visible.

Where Is Madewell's Woven Leather Belt Available to Shop?

You can shop Madewell's Woven Leather Belt at Nordstrom, Madewell, or Amazon.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
