Level up your look with a simple swap – ditch the belt! Idols are rocking a new trend: long, string belts that look like sneaker laces. This was perfect for Nayeon’s Y2K look for her solo album. She paired a daring bodysuit with loose leggings and tied a string around her waist, just like she did onstage at Waterbomb.
Minnie ((G)I-DLE)
Minnie of (G) I-DLE, who has made a comeback with her 7th mini album, also showed off her string belt style during the music video filming location. She added a string belt to Bermuda shorts with enormous pockets, which are popular right now, and chain charms and dolls to complete the maximalist outfit.
Seulgi (Red Velvet)
Seulgi shows off her sense of style with a casual outfit. She pairs a ringer tee with distressed denim jeans, adding a cool touch with a string belt. For a playful twist, she dangles a key ring from the belt loop. This combination of a string belt and a key ring creates an effortlessly chic look!

Just tie it in a simple knot at the waist, and instantly your comfy pants transform into a stylish, put-together outfit.

Jang Won Young (IVE)
There’s also a trend toward denim pants with waistband straps for a more elaborate appearance.
