Also known as the crème de la crème of belts, leather belts are a cut above the rest. By offering enhanced durability, quality, aesthetic appeal, comfort, softness, and versatility, they check off all the boxes.
If you’re new to leather belts, start off slow. Take some time to explore different designs and find something that’s right up your alley. If you’ve been having trouble choosing the right leather belt for your outfit, we’ve rounded up three tips to help make the process easier.
1.Opt for a Classic Color
People often feel compelled to find a leather belt that matches their outfit. For instance, if you’re wearing a lavender dress or tie, you may feel tempted to find a belt that’s a few shades lighter or darker.
If you’re a newbie, we recommend avoiding this strategy altogether. Instead, opt for a classic color like light brown, deep brown, black, white, or cream. These colors work well with any outfit.
Whether you’re wearing a black dress, electric blue top, emerald green tie, white romper, orange shorts, or burgundy pants, a leather belt in the classic color family will not let you down. Once you feel more comfortable wearing the classics, you can branch out into fun colors.
2. Choose the Right Width
Leather belts come in a wide range of widths. You can opt for something as slim as 12 mm or a thicker belt that’s 80 mm or wider. You have free rein here; take your time and figure out what resonates with your personal style.
Skinny belts work beautifully with fluttery summer dresses and formal gowns. If you’re wearing a black and white suit, opt for a 30-35mm belt width which will fit through your pant loop holes and when wearing jeans or cargos a size 38-40mm belt works best.
Remember, variations are completely acceptable. You can switch things up and wear a slim belt with a formal suit or a thick belt with a luscious ball gown. But be mindful of the size of your loop holes in your pants or dress. Figure out what works best for your style and you’ll love the final outcome.
3. Buckles
Ladies, in 2021, buckles are most definitely “in”. They beautifully compliment an outfit by adding more depth and dimension to it. If you are looking for a conservative everyday look, keep the buckle soft and rounded. For weekends, have fun and experiment with shape, color and size.
Guys, if you’re wearing a suit, opt for a slim traditional pin buckle and let your suit do the talking. For smart business wear a solid faced buckle can really make your outfit sing and for casual looks you can experiment with larger bolder buckles or even braided/woven belts.
