Men's and women's belts include leather belts, reversible belts, canvas belts, and belts with a prominent buckle.
The men's leather belt Nudie Jeans Pedersson goes well with jeans or chinos; the women's reversible belt Guess cinches the waist on a dress or coat.
The leather belts Nudie Jeans Dwayne and Pedersson, from the Swedish denim brand, lead the selection to be worn with raw jeans. The jean belt is chosen wide, with a simple buckle.
The Lee Core belt and the Wrangler Leather belt from American denim brands, along with the belts from Jack & Jones, the Danish brand, complete the selection. The brown belt is worn with brown shoes. The belt can also be worn with chinos and loafers.
The reversible Guess belt for women's trousers offers two colours in one, and the girl's belt Guess can be worn with jeans or a dress. The reversible belt adapts to two outfits.
Size is taken around the waist plus a few centimetres, or based on trouser size: the belt fastens at the middle hole. The width depends on the trousers: wide for jeans, slim for suit trousers. The belt size is specified on the label.
The classic rule: the belt matches the colour of your shoes, black with black, brown with brown. A discreet buckle goes with a suit, a more noticeable buckle with jeans. A black belt is worn with black derbies. With trainers, the rule relaxes: a canvas or natural leather belt will do.
The jeans are worn with a wide leather belt, and the accessories include bags, caps, and small leather goods. The matching belt and wallet make a complete gift.
A slim belt on a flowy dress or long cardigan, a wide belt on a coat or shirt dress: the belt shapes the silhouette. On high-waisted jeans, a women's belt in leather finishes the look.
Condition the leather with a colourless cream twice a year, store the belt rolled or hung, never folded. The leather develops a patina over time: the leather belt lasts for years. A metal buckle is cleaned with a dry cloth.
The black belt in smooth leather is worn with a suit and black shoes; the brown belt goes with chinos, jeans, and brown shoes, for both men and women. The woven elastic belt, without holes, adjusts to any notch and is worn in summer with shorts. The slim women's belt defines the waist of a dress or coat.
The cheap belt can be found in the special accessory offers and the accessory sales, and the new accessory arrivals showcase the season's models. At the end of November, Black Friday accessories lowers prices on belts. Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.
Measure a belt that fits well, from the buckle to the hole used, or add a few centimetres to your waist measurement. The middle hole allows for adjustment in both directions.
If the buckle can be taken apart, cut the leather at the buckle side and reattach it; otherwise, a cobbler can shorten it cleanly. An extra hole can also be punched there.
Leather lasts longer and looks dressier; canvas, being lighter, is worn in summer and for sports. For the office, the leather belt is a must.
A slim, smooth leather belt with a discreet buckle that fits through the suit trousers' loops. A jean belt, which is too wide, may not fit through the loops.
It's not essential if the jeans stay up on their own, but the belt completes the outfit, especially with a tucked-in shirt. With a tucked-out t-shirt, jeans without a belt are still acceptable.
