Men's leather belts

The impression of appearance is made up of details. A men's leather belt is an important accessory that not only ensures a good fit of trousers, but also emphasizes the status, gives the image style and completeness.

Belts for men are made from various materials:

• Leather. Products made from this material provide quality and durability, harmoniously look with strict business suits and with casual style clothes.
• Artificial leather. The budget option, which is short-lived in use, quickly loses its original high-quality appearance. Ideal for short term use (specific case).

• Suede leather. Less wear-resistant material compared to leather, but with proper care, it retains a high-quality appearance for a long time. Suede belts look harmoniously in combination with suede shoes. It is not recommended to wear separately.
• Textile. Good for comfortable use when solidity and status weight do not matter. Textile products wear out quickly, do not differ in durability.

High-quality accessories correspond to fashion trends. New models of belts are being prepared for new styles of clothing.

One of the most prestigious business-class materials is crocodile leather.This material is characterized by a peculiar pattern, ensures the reliability and durability of the use of products. It definitely adds weight.

Exotic leathers should be worn with special care. This chic belt will draw attention to the waist. If it is not flawless, it is necessary to think carefully whether it is worth emphasizing your shortcomings so clearly.

Wearing woven belts also requires careful wardrobe selection, as the bulk of the texture can drown out the modesty of the suit material, emphasizing its rusticity. They are usually worn during the summer months. Weaving is large or small. Usually such belts are made of cow or calf leather. Leather is used both smooth and suede.

Fans of exclusive goods should pay attention to branded models or handmade accessories.

The most budget handmade products are products made from pigskin. These belts are not durable. More often, more expensive calf leather is used, which looks more aesthetically pleasing and lasts longer. Sheepskin products are somewhat more expensive. Designer models are made from amazingly plastic and bright goat skin.

The most exclusive belts are made from the skin of exotic animals: python, shark, ostrich. Coordinating an individual order with the master, you can independently choose not only the skin, but the fittings you like, determining the width and length of the product. Such an order can cost even more than a branded product.

• Classic glossy and matte genuine leather belts are presented by brands Dunhill, Montblanc.
• Styling under snake, crocodile skin or other relief is distinguished by products of the brand Piquadro. They have unusual colors and are of high quality.
• Dalvey offers beautiful braided belts.

Trouser belts are distinguished by a variety of buckles. Their choice depends on the style of clothing and the event for which this accessory is worn. There are 3 main types of buckles: a simple open buckle, a closed buckle with an anchor, and a closed buckle.

• Closed buckle with clip usually used on textile belts that do not have holes - adjustment is carried out only by moving the buckle.
• Closed anchor buckle differs in original design. Such products are recommended to be worn only at informal events.
• The most versatile option is simple open buckle, which is suitable for both business and casual wardrobe.

Models are constantly modified, supplemented by functionality. Recently, special waist belts for trips and travels have been produced, they are equipped with a secret pocket.

A model with an automatic buckle is considered convenient to use. The belt with an automatic buckle does not require holes. With a clamp, it can be fixed at the desired length. Usually these buckles have decorative embellishments.

The standard belt width is from 3.3 to 3.7 cm. The choice of belt width depends on the width of the loops in the trousers.

The trouser belt usually has a width of 3-4 cm. It has 2 loops: one is moving, and the second is fixed, located near the buckle.

Casual style involves wearing wider belts, their width reaches 6 cm. Before buying such a belt, you should try on the straps of the jeans with which you plan to wear this accessory, since the standard width of the jeans straps does not exceed 5 cm.

Recently, narrower straps (2 cm) popular among young people have appeared.

An important indicator for a belt is its length. A short belt simply cannot fasten at the waist, and too long does not look very aesthetically pleasing and is a sign of bad taste. Almost all belts can be shortened (or you should ask the seller about the availability of a belt of a different size you like).

There are dimensionless models that have a loose rivet near the buckle, which makes it possible to unwind the fittings, cut off the excess part and fasten everything again. It is considered correct to fasten the belt on the middle hole. From the main hole to each side should be 2-3 holes.

The edges of the product are rounded. The rib is carefully painted over. There are no creases when bent. It is desirable that the belt around the perimeter is not glued, but stitched with perfectly even lines. Product width - 4-5 cm.

For lovers of jeans, casual belts are suitable. They differ in color and fittings. This style does not require matching the color of the belt to the color of the shoes. In this image, you can emphasize the belt accessory. Such belts allow the presence of stones, engravings, logos.

Woven models are ideal in combination with leisure clothing. They look great with chinos.

Style, including the belt, is an expression of the inner world of a person.

An expensive accessory made of discreet material will emphasize the business qualities of its owner; snake skin will reveal its originality; a belt of bright red or light gray color will be in perfect harmony with a light, light linen suit on a man wearing moccasins on his bare feet. A buckle with a locking pin will indicate a liberal-minded admirer of club-style outfits.

Modern models are both classic and surprisingly unpredictable in terms of color.

The color of the trouser belt must be classic: brown, black, gray.

Any color is suitable for jeans: light green, red, purple, red. The saturation of the tone is directly proportional to the showiness and exclusivity of the image.

The red color is especially popular now.It looks very vintage and gives brightness to the created image. Winningly this color is combined with blue and blue jeans.

Dark belts do not fit light jeans (beige, cream, white). This is a sign of bad taste.

When choosing a belt accessory, you should consider the purpose of use, color, quality of the buckle and belt.

Options for everyday wear can be as simple as possible. Their versatility should allow them to be harmoniously combined with different wardrobe items.

For significant events, it is advisable to purchase more status belts.

For leisure activities, you can choose a model that is original.

The color of the buckle should be in the same tone as other accessories. As an example, gold watches and chains will not be combined with a steel buckle.

A strict dress code involves wearing a belt and shoes in the same color scheme. Classic black and brown belts are considered a universal option. Democratic styles provide an opportunity to focus on the belt accessory.

Glossy belts are in harmony with patent leather shoes. Matte leather is also suitable for such shoes.

When choosing a belt, you also need to focus on the style of the wardrobe for which this accessory is selected.

When buying, you should take into account the length and width of the product, carefully examine the buckle. If there is an automatic buckle, it is necessary to check the reliability of the plastic insert. The very light weight of the buckle suggests that it is probably made of silumin, a not very reliable alloy.

If the purchased belt is not stitched, but glued, when examining it, you should carefully examine the quality of the gluing. If it exfoliates, then it is better not to purchase such a product.

Trouser belts require some care.

From constant wear, such a product can be deformed. To prevent this from happening, he needs to “rest” from time to time: he should be allowed to hang out or lie down for a while in peace.

Accidental stains are removed with leather care products. If the product is of very good quality, when it becomes dirty, it can be carefully washed in a soapy solution, after which it can be rinsed in a weak solution of citric acid.

Reviews depend on the models purchased.

The combination of democratic cost and high quality is considered positive.

Expensive branded models, which are of high quality, modern design, durability, have a high cost.

It is noted that the modern market provides a fairly wide selection of goods.

Budget models quite often stick out, the polymer coating cracks, the plastic components of the automatic buckle break. Pigskin products are significantly stretched and deformed.
