When the likes of Prada and Victoria Beckham championed corsets on the runway last season, we suspected it would be one of those trends that would remain firmly in the fashion week bubble and never be worn in real life. Then a number of street style stars, including Taylor Tomasi Hill and Margaret Zhang, got behind the trend and started layering them over white shirts. We began to (slowly) change our minds.
Fast-forward six months, and in that time they have been worn by Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian West and VB, and the entire of the Who What Wear UK team is set to add one of Zara's just-in corset belts into our shopping baskets. What's more, we are certain that you can wear these corset belts outside of the fashion week circus and it won't end up in an "oops purchase" drawer.
