How to Wear a Belt in 2025: The Bold Double Belt Trend for Women Over 50
Hello, fabulous ladies! It has been a little while since my last blog post, as I have been busy building a brand-new Instagram page for this blog. It has taken up so much of my time, but I am back with something exciting to share. If you love accessories and want to make your outfits stand out effortlessly, you will love this belt trend of 2025!
This year, it is not just about wearing one belt. It is about stacking them! The double belt trend (or even triple, quadruple, or more) is one of the most exciting ways to elevate your outfits. For fashionable women over 50, this is the perfect opportunity to accessorize in a bold yet sophisticated way!
But how do you wear multiple belts without looking overdone? Let us dive in.
Why the Double Belt Trend is a Game-Changer
Belts have always been an essential accessory, but in 2025, layering them is the key to making a statement. This trend allows you to:
- Accentuate your waist in a stylish and structured way
- Add interest to simple outfits with different textures, colors, and buckle designs
- Make a bold statement while keeping the rest of your outfit chic and effortless
For women over 50, belts are not just practical accessories but powerful fashion statements. Embracing this trend will refresh your wardrobe and make any basic look feel intentional and put together.
How to Wear a Belt (or Multiple) in 2025
1. Keep Your Outfit Simple
When wearing two or more belts, they should be the focal point. Keep your outfit minimal and classic with solid colors, sleek silhouettes, and timeless pieces that will not compete with the belts.
For example, I styled black wide-leg flowing pants, a black T-shirt, and studded black leather sandals—a simple, monochrome outfit—until I added two statement belts.
One had a rectangular golden metal buckle, while the other was black suede with a golden buckle. To complete the look, I added a suede fringe jacket, which brought more texture and tied everything together.

Styling Tip: When styling multiple belts, monochrome outfits work beautifully because they allow them to take center stage without overwhelming the look.
2. Mix Different Buckle Styles
One of the best ways to make this trend work is to play with different buckle designs. If all your belts have the same buckle, they might blend, losing the intended effect. Instead, try mixing:
- Large statement buckles with smaller, minimalist ones
- Round buckles with rectangular ones
- Metallic finishes like gold, silver, and bronze for contrast
For my second look, I took this concept to the next level. I paired a black oversized blazer with straight-leg blue jeans and black high-knee leather boots. Then, I layered three belts over my blazer, each with a unique buckle:
- A black leather belt with a golden inter-loop buckle
- A classic black leather belt with a simple golden buckle
- The black suede belt with a golden buckle from my previous outfit
The different buckle shapes and materials added depth, making the outfit feel dynamic and high-fashion.
Styling Tip: When layering belts, choose ones with distinct buckle styles to create a dynamic, eye-catching look with depth and personality.
3. Experiment with Different Belt Textures and Thicknesses
Variety is key. Instead of identical belts, mix materials and thicknesses to create a striking contrast. Here are some stylish ideas to try:
- Leather and suede for a rich, textured effect
- Thin and wide belts to add dimension
- Metallic or chain belts paired with classic leather
By layering belts with different textures and widths, your outfit will look more curated and intentional.
4. How Many Belts Should You Wear?
The name of the trend is the double belt trend, but that does not mean you have to stop at two. Some designers and fashion-forward influencers are layering three, four, or even five belts at once.
So, how do you decide how many belts to wear?
- If you are new to the trend, start with two belts for a balanced and chic look.
- Want to push the boundaries? Try three belts over a blazer or coat for an avant-garde effect.
- Going for a bold statement? Layer multiple skinny belts over a dress or jumpsuit for a high-fashion feel.
Styling Tip: If layering more than two belts, keep the rest of your outfit structured to maintain balance.
