One extremely simple method to elevate a look that you can use over and over again? Adding a belt at the waist. It can be any sort of belt too. A leather one with a big statement buckle, a skinny chain one, a braided style or a fabric tie. Slip one on over a dress, a romper or jumpsuit, a tunic or even a regular top to cinch your waist and add some sophisticated pizazz to your look!

Even easier? Buy pieces that already come with a belt attached. Tie-waist dresses and rompers are definitely two of our favorite types of summer pieces. It can be hard to stay chic in the heat when you’ve lost all of your layers, but a piece with an attached tie or belt can work wonders for your style statements. Check out 17 of our favorites below!
