Have you heard of the '30 wears rule'?

It's a styling concept that does exactly what it says on the tin - you should wear every single piece in your wardrobe a minimum of 30 times and if you're not going to get that many wears out of it, you shouldn't buy it. It allows you to get the most out of your wardrobe, save money and be ethically conscious. What's not to love? That said, we are only human and we can get sick of things. Even your very favourite trusty River Island blazer or staple Topshop knit can start to bore you when you feel like you've worn it over and over. Accessories are great for breathing new life into tired outfits, which is why we love a statement belt. It counts as layering without being bulky, gives you a shape and makes any look instantly feel more 'fashion'. Plus, if you think that big belts are only for putting over dresses, you're seriously underestimating their power. A thick belt around the waist will work over jumpers, jackets and coats, even tees and skirts. Our pick right now? This bejewelled Zara one that Instagram has been loving. It's €19.95 and hasn't yet dropped in stores but we know we'll be picking it up as soon as it does. Prepare to see us in this all autumn and winter long.
