It’s giving fashion insider, it’s giving Leandra Cohen energy, it’s giving “I’m on it.” You’ve seen it: a silky vintage square, knotted nonchalantly through belt loops, maybe even tied over a blazer or low-slung on a maxi dress. It’s the anti-belt belt. I trace the trend’s roots back to Leandra Cohen, above, queen of offbeat elegance and layering sorcery. She’s been styling scarves as belts since the Man Repeller days—always with a twist (sometimes literally). Now it’s re-emerging across street style snaps and style-savvy feeds, a nod to those who love fashion with a little subtext. The key to pulling it off: Bold prints, vintage Hermes, or even an old bandana. Tie at the side. Let it dangle. It’s all about the nonchalance–and executed easily with this, this and this.
