Belt bags may have burst onto the scene in an explosion of colour and texture last year, but designers are now taking a more sedate approach to the trend. Good news for those who weren’t quite ready to embrace the extrovert styles of yore – smart, black leather updates are now making a case for the look, particularly from Cos, Mango and Zara. Take the fashion girl approach and use to cinch in oversized coats and trenches, sticking to minimalist, functional designs for a look you can pull off – we promise.
