Something for the weekend: Belts

Cinching at the waist. Pulling layers together. An instant way to update your favourite jacket/jumper/shirt. The power of the belt as a styling tool shows no sign of diminishing – Prada's autumn 2010 show featured bow belts on jumpers. If you're after a bold but minimal flash, plump for Cos's super-narrow number in sci-fi acid yellow. Jaeger offers a more sedate approach but features a nifty double buckle detail. Belt lovers, the world is your oyster; go forth and conquer! Clockwise from top: Royal blue £55, by Hobbs . Yellow skinny £15, by Cos . Stone and cream waist cinching £65, by Jigsaw . Double wrap print £60, by Paul Smith . Red and mushroom double buckle £80, by Jaeger . Black with fabric bow £6, by Marks & Spencer .
