The accessory is not only style-conscious but also saves one loads of money that would otherwise be spent on a top with built-in flare details. The waist accessory is displayed in a black, [vegan leather design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-kendall) and boasts a tiered look that is edgier than the traditional peplum design. In addition to its layered details, this ASOS belt is also accented with a gold, metal accent that adds a touch of sparkle to its sleek design. Mixing rocker styling with opulent details, this accessory is a fresh translation of the peplum fad and can be paired with [fitted tops or dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeys-opaline-blouse). Moreover, the belt can transform a simple, pencil skirt into a garment that is more flirty and feminine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/holiday) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Voluminous Waist Accessories:** The rise of waist accessories that add a peplum look to plain tops presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. - **Money-saving Belt Alternatives:** The popularity of belts that provide built-in flare details offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for retailers to create more affordable and versatile clothing options. - **Rocker-inspired Edgier Peplum:** The demand for peplum designs that incorporate a mix of rocker styling and opulent details opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers have the opportunity to capitalize on the trend of voluminous waist accessories by offering a wide range of peplum belt options for customers. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Apparel manufacturers can explore the production of money-saving belt alternatives that can be easily paired with existing tops, saving customers money and expanding their market reach. - **Accessory Design:** The demand for edgier peplum belt designs presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for accessory designers to create unique and eye-catching waist accessories that cater to different fashion preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Specialized Exercise Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellabooty-belt.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Sophisticated Tie-Belt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiebelt-shirt-dres.md) - [Hyper-Durable Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-indestructible-belt.md) - [Menstrual Discomfort Relief Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hottie-belt.md) - [Belted Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-mandy-coat.md) - [Ultra-Light Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spanx-airessentials1.md) - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Complimentary Sculptural Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece.md)
