Men's Belts

A common guide is to pick a belt size about two inches larger than your trouser waist, or measure a belt that fits from where it folds at the buckle to the hole you use, and match that to the size guide. Buying to your waist measurement gets it right first time. Some belts can also be trimmed if slightly long.

A leather-look belt is smarter and suits work, church and dressier outfits, while a canvas or webbing belt is casual and sporty for jeans and shorts. If you need one versatile belt, go leather-look in black or brown; add a canvas belt for purely casual wear. They cover different dress levels.

It does for a put-together look: matching belt to shoes (black with black, brown with brown) is one of the simplest ways to look deliberate rather than thrown together. If you wear both shoe colours, a black and a brown belt cover most outfits. Neutral tones make this effortless.

Some belts can be shortened by trimming the tip end and refitting the buckle, while others are fixed — check the buckle type or product details before buying. If you're between sizes, a trimmable belt gives flexibility; otherwise buy to your waist measurement. Don't rely on trimming unless the belt allows it.
