Belting your coat might seem like an obvious style move, or, rather, one that's easy to execute. But we aren't just talking about tying up your trench here. For the freshest possible update to your outerwear, you'll want to make a statement every time you cinch your waist. That means short, fluffy puffers get secured with a strip of eye-catching elastic, and long dusters get broken up, creating shape and offering your outfit balance. Read on to see a few different interpretations of the trend and shop the essentials you need to pull off the look as you head through Winter. Because a belt totally counts as one extra layer, right?
