The accessory of the season? Belts—but not just your average belts. Reinvented styles in every form have been entering the market and are already carving themselves out to be the essential buy as we head into the second half of the year. In particular, statement-making belts are dominating. With large metallic buckles, irregular shapes, and wide leather bands, many of these are pieces that practically double as jewelry. Despite being relatively loud pieces, they are surprisingly easy to style. Add a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and your outfit is settled.

Brands such as The Row and Khaite already have some of the most in-demand pieces on the market, but there are also up-and-coming designers to have on your radar. Déhanche and Heaven Mayhem are a few that come to mind. Ahead, shop the cool belts that just arrived for fall and are already set to be key buys for the season.

All of the asymmetrical buckles are so good.
