Cinch the Season
This autumn/winter is all about definition. From the runways to the streets, belts are taking centre stage once again, reclaiming their place not just as a practical necessity, but as the ultimate style statement.
AW25 is celebrating belts in all their forms, from wide, bold buckles that command attention to slim, refined designs that quietly enhance a silhouette. More than ever, the belt is not a finishing touch but the foundation of an outfit, transforming coats, dresses and tailoring with a simple pull and fasten.
Born from a Belt
For Osprey London, this return feels particularly poignant. Our story began in 1980 with a single hand-cut leather belt, crafted in a hayloft in Hertfordshire. Every piece since has carried that same dedication to craftsmanship and timeless style. To talk about belts is to talk about heritage, and it’s why our AW25 collection honours both the roots of the brand and the needs of the modern wardrobe.
Our belts are designed not just to follow trends but to outlast them
The season’s silhouettes lean into contrast: oversized outerwear drawn in at the waist, soft knitwear structured with a cinch, sharp tailoring given an edge by an unexpected buckle. Belts offer the kind of versatility that carries a look from boardroom to dinner, weekday to weekend. Whether layered over a wool coat on a crisp morning or styled with a fluid midi dress for evening, they add a considered detail that elevates an outfit instantly.
As we look to AW25, the message is simple: belts are no longer the supporting act, they are the headline. They have the power to pull a look together, to create shape and balance, and to reflect the quiet confidence of the wearer. At Osprey London, that confidence comes from knowing that a belt is not just an accessory, but an investment in craft, heritage and enduring style. This season, cinch the waist, define the silhouette, and let the belt take its rightful place at the heart of your wardrobe.
