If you're looking for dividend shares with attractive yields, then you may want to look at the ones listed below.

Here's why analysts at Bell Potter rate these dividend shares as buys:

Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1)

The first ASX dividend share to look at is this footwear focused retailer. It is the company behind a growing collection of popular retail brands. These include HYPEDC, Platypus, Stylerunner, and The Athlete's Foot.

Accent's shares have been hit hard this year due to COVID lockdowns impacting its profits materially and concerns over sports giants Adidas and Nike focusing on growing their direct to consumer businesses.

The team at Bell Potter isn't concerned, though, and continues to forecast a strong sales and profit rebound in FY 2023. In light of this, its analysts believe recent share price weakness is a buying opportunity.

Last month Bell Potter put a buy rating and $2.75 price target on the company's shares. As for dividends, it is expecting fully franked dividends per share of 5.8 cents in FY 2022 and then 10.9 cents in FY 2023.

Based on the current Accent share price of $1.67, this will mean yields of 3.5% and 6.5%, respectively.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA)

Another ASX dividend share for investors to consider is banking giant, CBA.

The team at Bell Potter believe Australia's largest bank could be a quality option for income investors. It currently has a buy rating and $108.00 price target on the bank's shares.

The broker is positive on CBA due to its strategic strengths of scale, brand, and diversification, which are supported by an irreplaceable infrastructure comprising over 1,100 branches, 3,800 Australia Post agencies, and nearly 3,600 ATMs.

Bell Potter appears confident this will support solid dividend growth over the coming years. For example, the broker has pencilled in fully franked dividends per share of $3.87 in FY 2022 and $4.07 in FY 2023. Based on the current CBA share price of $105.70, this will mean yields of 3.7% and 3.85%, respectively.
