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 [1] here. For the freshest possible update to your outerwear [2], you'll want to make a statement every time you cinch your waist. That means short, fluffy puffers [3] get secured with a strip of eye-catching elastic, and long dusters [4] 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?
