How to choose a men's belt? Men's belt - how to choose a stylish and comfortable accessory How to choose a belt for a man.

Unlike women's, men's wardrobe is much more conservative and less influenced by fashion trends. For this reason, each item must be selected with special attention and care, this applies equally to both items and accessories.

Today we will talk about belts that perform a number of functions in a man’s wardrobe. In addition to aesthetic qualities, they are designed to fix trousers, connect the upper and lower parts of clothing, harmonize body proportions, give the image the necessary completeness, and also introduce individual features.

How to determine size?

Before we begin to understand the intricacies of choosing a belt, it is worth mentioning how important it is that trousers or jeans be correct size and they fit you well. After all, clothing is the basic component of the image, and accessories, with all their capabilities, are complementary elements.

Typically, men's belts are matched to trousers (jeans) and shoes, not vice versa. In general, the size of an accessory is characterized by several parameters. The first is the actual size indicated on the product; this is your main guideline. The other two are the width and total length of the belt. When choosing an accessory for trousers or jeans, make sure that its width exactly matches the width of the belt loops - it should not be wider or narrower.

The overall length of the product is also simple. If you are choosing a belt for a suit, the outer edge of the belt when fastened should not reach the second loop - this is the rule.

To determine the size, you will need a centimeter; you need to take measurements with it. Put on the trousers or jeans for which you are choosing a belt, thread a centimeter through the belt loops and record the number - this is your waist circumference. If you have an old belt, measure that too. You should start from the edge of the buckle to the center hole or the one where you usually fasten your belt. Compare the results of the measurements taken.

When browsing an accessory in an online store, you may encounter sizing systems from different countries. In this case, we recommend using the table:

Russian size Waist(cm) Length (inches) International size
60-65 58-67 24-26 XXS
70-75 66-79 28-30 XS
80-85 76-89 32-34 S
90-95 86-99 36-38 M
100 96-104 40 L
105 101-109 42 XL
110 106-114 44 XXL
115 111-119 46 XXXL
120 116-124 48 XXXL

Belt and shoes

In case of men's wardrobe Belts are selected strictly to match shoes. For example, if you are wearing black shoes, then your belt should be black. This rule applies to other colors, but it is important that the shade also matches. If this recommendation seems excessive at first glance, just evaluate appearance a person who decided to go against the established rule. You will probably get the impression that he was in a hurry or was getting dressed in the dark. The same goes for shoe material. Suede, nubuck, textile or tanned leather - the belt must match.

Buckle type

Belt buckles vary. The most common is the open type, it has a laconic design, clear geometric or rounded shapes.

A closed type buckle is a flat or embossed metal plate with a small “anchor” on the reverse side, which is threaded into the desired hole. As a rule, the outer side is decorated, and the decor can consist of several lines or be a three-dimensional pattern - depending on the formality of the accessory.

The third type is clip buckles; they can most often be seen on textile belts that have no holes at all.

Match the shade of the buckle with other accessories such as hardware, watches, tie clips, cufflinks, bracelets and rings if you are wearing them. Wedding ring is the only exception.

Accessory formality

A classic trouser belt, worn under formal, formal clothing, is usually made of smooth leather, black or dark Brown color and a buckle of a laconic rectangular shape in a silver tone. Nothing but restraint and severity. Belts for everyday wear are another matter, they have a greater variety in both design, shades and materials. Your style is your best advisor.

When threading a belt into jeans, make sure that the accessory goes over the label and not under it.

To visually appear taller, choose a belt whose color is as close as possible to the shade of the trousers - this way you will avoid horizontal stripes in your look and make the silhouette more elongated.

By increasing the contrast between the accessory and the trousers (or jeans), you can experiment with the formality of the look, making it more sporty.

Accessories made from the skin of exotic animals, intense colors or decorated with metal elements always attract special attention to yourself, your figure and style in general. Be careful, sometimes an element that is too “active” can overshadow all other details of the image.

In the world of men's fashion, there are very few details that allow individuality to shine through. Unlike women's fashion, where there is an opportunity for the soul to roam, for us, for men, everything is subject to standards and traditions. Going beyond the classics requires close attention to detail. Accessories such as men's watches, a tie, a pocket square and a neckerchief, cufflinks, a tie clip, suspenders and a belt are perhaps an exhaustive list where you can show your individuality in business etiquette. It is the last accessory that will be discussed today in this article.

Is the belt as simple as we think? I'm sure every man has a belt in his wardrobe, but what role does it actually play? Is the belt part of the look or is it just there to hold up the pants? How to choose a men's belt, if today it can differ not only in color, material, plaque, but also perform different functions for an athlete and a businessman? I will answer all these and many other questions in this guide.


Before we start discussing the types of men's belts and looking at the details, it is worth mentioning some general principles.

Choosing a men's belt

Dress pants, jeans, chinos, khakis, or any other pants should not fall down when worn without a belt. Read about how to choose trousers. Both a business suit and any pants should be selected to suit your body type and build. A belt is, for the most part, a means of enriching your look and image. The function of holding the pants so that they do not fall is secondary.

Combine the color of the leather parts of your wardrobe. Black shoes - black belt; brown shoes - brown belt. This is an immutable rule that must be followed, although some people believe otherwise. It’s even better to combine a watch with a leather strap that matches the color of the shoes and belt, but it may just be different than the shoe-belt combination. However, the rule should not be taken literally. If you have unusual shoes, say, striped ones, then the color of the belt does not have to be “striped.” But still follow the general color scheme.

Black belt - black shoes, brown belt - brown shoes

Pay attention to the belt buckle. If you have grown out of your childhood, then you should choose a simple classic buckle without the “Dolce&Gabbana” inscriptions across the entire width. Silver color and simple look are the most the best choice. But we will talk about this separately.

A belt is perhaps not something worth spending money on, unlike a suit, shoes and watch. However, the rule is: than better thing, the better and better quality it is, it works here too. Belts made from cheap, poorly made leather or even artificial leather stretch and crack after a short period of use. Especially if you like to tighten your belt.

Spend some money on a good leather belt and you won't regret it.

Types of men's belts

A belt is not only an accessory that emphasizes the status and refined taste of its owner, but also a necessary item of men's clothing. All belts that exist today can be divided into three groups - sports, for everyday wear and classic. Designers who create outfits for the stronger half of humanity believe that all these varieties of this men's accessory should be present in the wardrobe of a modern man. It's hard to disagree with them.

Classic men's belt

For the most part, separating belts between formal and informal styles is a no-brainer. For example, an ordinary black leather belt of not much thickness and a regular buckle will fit under; a colored belt made from fabric is more suitable for .

According to some beliefs, you don't have to wear a belt with a classic business suit. It is a fact. However, in my humble opinion, using a belt fills the missing link (the line if you will) between the shirt and pants. So whether to use a belt in a formal dress code or not, try to decide for yourself.


Classic belts can be made from either leather or a substitute for this material. The width of a classic belt is 4-5 cm, it is one-color and has a small buckle made of metal, sometimes painted plastic. The color of the leather belt can be black or brown (depending on the color of the shoe) with a silver or gold buckle. Silver, by the way, is more suitable color for office work or official events, meetings. The buckle should not be massive, crooked or not of a standard shape. Leave all the “frills” for the informal dress code.

For special and special occasions, I believe every man should have at least one expensive leather belt. A good belt, according to my observations, can withstand at least 3-4 years (however, like any leather product, belts must be alternated from day to day and allowed to “rest”, otherwise the belt will not last even a year), but a real, soldier’s belt belt, it’s been like that for decades =) but that’s a completely different topic...

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a quality belt, it is worth knowing that these leather men's accessories are cut along the edge. At the same time, leatherette products are folded inward and stitched along the edge. A leather belt always consists of two parts, joined together by a pressing process.

When purchasing a leather accessory, you should pay attention to the quality of pressing and the ability of the material to stretch. If the belt practically does not stretch, then some inconvenience will be felt during its operation. You should also not buy a leather product that stretches as if it were made of rubber. Such a belt will quickly deform and lose its original appearance. Perfect option– a belt whose maximum stretch does not exceed 2 cm.

Casual men's belt

Casual belts, or belts for a casual style, are much more varied than classic belts. You are not tied to form and traditions, so you have more freedom in color, style, and the material from which the belt is made. The same goes for the belt buckle, but wearing the inscription “I Love Rock-n-Roll” or something similar is still not worth it.


Casual belts, as a rule, are slightly wider than classic ones and can reach 5 centimeters. Narrow belts are recommended for young men, while older gentlemen should use accessories of maximum width. As for the buckle, it is also larger than the usual classic one to look harmonious with jeans or chinos. The buckle mechanism is also varied. In addition to the simple open buckle, there are buckles with an anchor on the back or buckles with a clip. The latter are usually used on fabric belts, otherwise the leather will quickly deteriorate.

Woven belts are very popular. They are versatile and great for casual style, hinting at individuality. A suede belt combined with suede shoes will make you stand out in any company, rest assured!

Sports belt

A little about sports. A sports belt can be made of rubber, rubber or fabric. It is only suitable when wearing sportswear or denim clothing. Moreover, in the second case, the belt should be hidden under a T-shirt or sweater. Such a belt says little about business or casual style, so we won’t get hung up on it, but will leave the detailed story to sports blogs and websites.

As a conclusion

Belts are often underestimated. Most people, especially people of the “old school”, will be sure that a belt is purely functional and there is no need to combine it with other wardrobe items. However, once you play a little with the color or structure of the belt, try to combine the overall aesthetics and the function of keeping your pants in the right place, and you will kill two birds with one stone!

The belt deserves your attention. Today, the market offers an infinitely wide range of colors, shades, materials, buckles, so that you can easily choose the right belt to suit your style. Don't miss the opportunity to diversify your image a little!

One of the few accessories that are constantly present in a man’s wardrobe is a belt. It turns out that choosing a men's belt is a whole science. This strip of leather most often serves not only to hold the trousers in their rightful place, but also complements your image, making it complete and coherent. And as ancient people believed, the belt - the prototype of the modern belt - protected the owner from an evil word or an evil eye. And ancient warriors used their wide belts to protect their bellies. According to the rules of modern etiquette, a belt must be present on your trousers. It is a must-have accessory in a man's wardrobe. It should be noted that if you like to wear suspenders, then a belt will be completely out of place in your wardrobe. And, conversely, when using a belt, you should not wear suspenders. How to choose a men's belt and not miss, but remain satisfied with your purchase?

1. Decide what you will wear your new belt with. Modern belts are divided into two main types: casual and classic. You can’t wear a casual belt with a formal business suit. So when choosing a belt, maintain a consistent style.


2. It is advisable that the belt matches the watch strap, and the belt buckle matches the dial.

3. A classic belt must have a simple buckle, without unnecessary logos or stones.

4. Choosing a men's leather belt should not go with a suit or trousers, but with shoes. The height of elegance will be a correctly selected belt that matches the shoes not only in color, but also in texture.


5. Too expensive a belt requires the same suit. Otherwise it will look out of place.

6. The belt should be at least four to five centimeters wide. These are the belts that are recommended for men. Teenagers and young people no older than 20 can afford narrower belts.

7. The length of the belt is also an important point. It is very important that the belt covers you with a small margin, but no more than 20 centimeters. If the belt you like is too long, you definitely need to shorten it. Moreover, this must be done immediately after purchase.


8. If the men's belt is chosen correctly, corresponding to the size, then it should be fastened into one of the middle holes. When purchasing a belt, be sure to pay attention to the spare holes. It's better if you have at least 1-2 holes left.

9. By the way, when choosing a men's belt in a salon or company store, you can immediately make additional holes. Under no circumstances should you do this yourself at home. This reduces the service life of the new belt.

10. Modern belts can be made from leather, leatherette and durable fabrics. Don't expect a belt that isn't made from leather to last long.

Men have far fewer accessories in their wardrobe than women, which can highlight their individuality. Everything here is subject to classical canons and traditions. These attributes must include wrist watch, tie, purse or men's belts. The latter have a lot of varieties and their own individual characteristics, which are worth considering in more detail.

Peculiarities

Initially, a man's belt appeared as a part of soldiers' uniforms and performed exclusively practical functions, and then they did not think about the individuality of the image. Later, aristocrats began to use it, emphasizing their high status. It was made from durable genuine leather, inaccessible to commoners - they were belted with a simple braid or rag rope.

Today, almost everyone uses men's belts - from elementary school students to venerable old men. The variety of brands, models, materials and colors is simply endless. Moreover, new products appear every season. This wardrobe item does not lose its popularity all over the world.

If we talk about the practical functions of a belt, it supports pants or trousers, and also makes the figure more slender and helps shape posture. Much more interesting is its purpose as a decorative accessory: a belt can emphasize a man’s status, testify to his strength and confidence, reflect his character, attitude to fashion and style, and belonging to a certain subculture.

It is these not at all practical functions that have led to the huge variety of models of these wonderful products.

In its most general form, a belt looks like a dense belt of varying thicknesses with a hard buckle and punched holes for fastening and adjusting to size.

This definition, of course, is completely incomplete, since there are many varieties with their own design features, details and decor. For example, a belt with an automatic clasp or buckle does not have holes.

Each has its own name, and fashion experts and many experienced clothing retailers know them, so there is someone to consult with. Not only colors and shades should be combined, but also texture: for a smooth belt - smooth shoes, for a wicker belt - the same shoes.

For office work, business meetings or other serious events, of course, you should choose a classic style made of smooth monotone leather with a small buckle. But on vacation or while walking with light, loose clothing, it will look out of place. In this case, you can wear a braided strap, or preferably a textile one. If it has bright colors, then you also need to remember to combine them with other accessories, but here this is not so important. Stylish accessories occupy an important place in the wardrobe of a modern girl. Choosing clothes is not a difficult task, but few people know how to choose an accessory that will not only be stylish, but also original. In the city everyday fashion

The first thing a girl buys is jeans. However, this is not enough to look your best. A women's jeans belt is something that will help turn an ordinary item into an exclusive novelty.

A trouser belt and a model that is purchased to be worn with jeans are completely different things. Since trousers are mostly classic and strict, the strap should match. Belts for trousers are usually discreet and laconic, acceptable in a strict dress code or a classic look. But denim belts can be completely different, decorated with rhinestones, beads, large plaques, and metal elements.

Belts and widths vary. The trouser belt is usually narrow, it is designed to emphasize the grace and consistency of the image. Denim models can be medium narrow or wide, it all depends on the girl’s taste. Many people choose wide options; they are better visible and can accommodate more decor. You can also hang handmade items on the wide strap - feathers, keychains, various talisman figures.

Concerning color range, then the trouser belt is usually made in strict business colors - black, brown, gray. Softer options are dark blue, beige, white, light blue. Belts for jeans can also be of these colors, but there are other solutions. In the assortment presented on the shelves fashion stores, it is possible to find the most different colors– from classic white to poisonous shades of pink, green and acid yellow.

Fashion models

Conventionally, all belt models can be divided into two types - classic and modern. It’s worth choosing one or another option based on the situation, but it’s better to have different models in your wardrobe.

Classic

Classic straps can emphasize and focus attention on the status of their owner. Made exclusively from leather, such belts are more suitable for strict jeans in dark blue, gray and black shades. There are business belts in different colors; the range of black and brown is completely unlimited.

It’s worth choosing classic models if you don’t have a very strict dress code at work that allows you to wear jeans. If you are going for a walk, a narrow discreet strap will simply be inappropriate.

Modernity

Casual straps will enhance your casual jeans like nothing else. They are made not only from leather, there are also fabric and synthetic models. The color scheme is also different, the main thing is that there is another element of the same color in the image. Such belts are decorated with interesting elements - beautiful plaques, figures, letters, rhinestones.

It is considered bad manners to combine light-colored jeans with a black belt - such decisions are best left to lovers of the classics.

In the 2017 season, designers decided to focus on elegance. Skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans remain a must-have, so an elegant strap is a must here.

Among the most fashionable models are glossy belts, belts made of fluorescent materials and bright flashy options. Such great ideas will immediately help you stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of others. Contrasting belts that combine several colors look no less beautiful.

Braided straps consisting of small ribbons are also expected to become extremely popular. They pair perfectly with skinny jeans.

Colorful items with interesting prints will be in fashion, the best of which is leopard print. A similar print would look ideal with another accessory of a similar theme.

Among fashionable models, narrow classic straps with modest small plaques are still in demand.

Material

The first material that is most often chosen is leatherette. Leatherette straps, of course, are of lower quality than leather ones, however, their prices are much lower. True, the material gained popularity not only because of this. Leatherette belts are very easy to care for and never cause allergies. In addition, the material is very flexible, so you can give it a variety of colors, make any texture and print.

Straps made of genuine leather are priced an order of magnitude higher than models made of leatherette. This is explained by the naturalness of the material and its wear resistance. Leather belts- this is always noble and respectable, they are chosen by girls who try to emphasize and highlight their own taste. Leather is a very durable and strong material; you can wear such products for several years.

However, even if the strap has roughness and abrasions, it will not lose its attractive appearance.

Fabric models are no less popular than all others. Fabric belts are a stylish accessory in urban and street styles. They are made from different fabrics - cotton, synthetics, satin, linen, velvet. Braided straps made from linen or satin ribbons are very popular. Many ladies choose fabric belts for themselves; they can be beautifully tied with a knot or a bow.

Color

A white belt is ideal to combine with blue and light blue jeans. And if you also choose other snow-white elements to complement your look, the look will turn out simply stunning.

Black color is universal, it is what every girl needs to have, because it goes with everything. This strap can be perfectly combined with different shades of jeans - blue, white, red, brown. The most the best option will combine a black belt with jeans in standard blue tones, and choose black or white clothes as a top.

Blue and light blue belt are in summer period at the height of fashion, because these are the colors of the sky and sea. The blue color looks good with white, sand, brown and beige tones. It can also be successfully combined with classic blue and black jeans. A blue strap requires other accessories of a similar color, this may be stylish shoes or handbag.

A brown belt also goes well with regular blue jeans. In the fall, you will look simply brilliant if you choose high leather or suede boots the same color.

The red strap will help you stand out from the crowd; it is very bright and rich. To balance it out, wear comfortable red shoes or carry a matching handbag. A leopard print belt goes well with blue and white jeans, and interesting glasses, a handbag or a light scarf will complete the look.

How to choose?

When choosing a belt, first of all, you should think about what you will wear it with. Ideally, it is better to have several models that can be combined with different types clothes. When you decide on a model, you need to take into account the characteristics of your own figure, because the image can easily be ruined by the wrong accessory.

Girls with large breasts are well suited for thin, discreet belts that will make the silhouette more graceful. It’s easy to hide a problematic belly by purchasing a wide version for the hips. At full figure It’s worth choosing a strap that almost matches the color of your clothes; a pronounced contrast will be inappropriate. Small stature is also not a hindrance to wearing a belt - a narrow, laconic model in discreet shades is suitable. If you have wide hips, buy a loose, longer model so that it doesn't look too tight.

Before buying a belt, be sure to pay attention to its width and length. Stylists recommend choosing a middle ground – a strap that is not too long and not too short. If the model is too long, it will either sag at the hips or become puffy. And straps that are too short and snug can become completely non-functional if you gain a few kilograms.
