Go ahead. Hitch a ride on the boho bandwagon. Billowy skirts! Layering! Lack of hygiene!

But too much of a good thing can take you from Rumours to rumors in no time. Overly flowy frocks have been known to prompt speculation of a bun in the oven — though a cheeseburger at lunch is about as close as you’ve gotten to that.

So it may be in your best interest to wear a belt. Elegantly Waisted’s ’70s-inspired accoutrements kick any caftan up a notch. Wide suede bands with rivets and studs are good for Stevie Nicks casual. Leather cummerbunds tie in the front for a mod Japanese look. Or pair the black, brass-buckle belt with already form-fitting clothes just for kicks.

And though they won’t do much to hold your bottoms up, these belts perform an equally important function: giving much-needed definition to your occasionally shapeless style.

That should keep your “fancy gypsy” from sliding into “preggers hobo.”
