    I'm just wondering if this style of belt has a specific name? Other than wide suede belt or something generic, it's just a wide belt often made of suede or leather but it has some sort of lovely design at the front... or just a better way of describing it than I just did, Thanks! uWyN2f9QWemnjJd2iw7v3bQ8NIs.jpg

    I'm trying to find myself one but it is quite difficult when searching for a "wide belt" :hysterical:

    My eyes are having a hard time figuring out where the sweater ends and belt begins.

    Some terms for specific types of extra wide belts: Cinch, contour, cummerbund, kidney, polo. Also corselet, but those lace in front.

    I wonder if it laces at the back? It is certainly cinched in.

    Yes agree with cinch, and even Waspie. A true waspie is laced like a corset for waist shaping. But it's a similar shape to this.

    The design on the front could be called appliqué
