One of the biggest trends for autumn winter 2018 have been belt bags, or better known as the bum bag. This 90’s revival got a high fashion update with everyone from your favourite bloggers to your most stylish friends sporting one. I remember sharing one of my first belt bags about 2 years ago now in this post so when I saw that everyone wanted to know how to wear a belt bag, I was so excited to get my new Prada one out! The best part about these bags is that there are so many different ways to wear them. You can wear your belt bag with jeans, over dresses and even over your jacket. Here are my favourite ways:

1. Wear your belt bag as a crossbody.
I like to sling my belt bag over my shoulder to wear it like a cross body for a more model-off-duty look. I love how easy it is to wear it this way and this is the easiest way to style it with any outfit. Try this way with your next sweater and jeans combo for an instant update to a go-to look.

2. As a waist belt
You can wear your belt bag with your jeans as a belt or over looser dresses as a waist belt. It’s a great way to add some definition to your outfit so that you look taller too! I used it here to make this loose dress more fit.

3. Over your favourite jacket
You can wear your belt bag as a winter accessory that you don’t have to hide away! Wear it over your favourite blazer for these chilly autumn days and as you move to your winter coats, belt it over your straight fit coats (like this one) for a really cool winter outfit!

How would you wear your belt bag?

A little while ago I spent a day with fashion mega house Farfetch, learning all about their new watches and jewellery department and their collaboration with watchmakers Uniform Wares. Of course, for an occasion like this, I needed an outfit to match and I always say, when in doubt, go for an all black outfit. Some of you might think that an all black outfit is boring, or simply not inspiring enough but today I wanted to share with you the number one style trick on how to wear an all black outfit and still look incredible; mix textures.

The key to making any outfit pop is to try and mix in textures and patterns to add different points of interests. In regards to how to style all black, the rules are the same. I opted for a whopping four different textures in one look through my various details. My top, which I actually bought on Farfetch a few months ago, is a mix of knit and sheer. It’s the perfect autumn blouse and also adds an element of pattern with its stripes. My high waisted leather pants were a gift from Farfetch for the event and I love the boldness the vinyl brings to the look. Pro tip: lotion your legs and your pants to stop them from squeaking!

My accessories then complemented my look from my Prada belt bag in soft leather to my Uniform Wares watch with its beautiful suede strap. I actually got to customise my own strap which will be arriving in the next few weeks! All their materials are actually the same materials used by some of the biggest fashion houses in the world, but of course for much less! Now that’s luxury, isn’t it?
