In the wrong hands, or rather on the wrong waist [1], a belt can look out of place, but if worn tastefully, it can work wonders. Take for example a voluminous blouson top [2]; sans belt, it's shapeless, but with one, your waist is accentuated. Patricia Field [3] can back me up on this.
On the Spring runways, belts ran the gamut from starry, see YSL [4] (left), to geometric at Fendi [5], to suave at Gucci [6]. There's plenty to go around, so find your match, and belt it out . . . loud!
