How to use leather belt

There are two criteria to evaluate a properly used leather belt: The length of the belt and the color match between the belt and the outfit.

In terms of length, a standard belt after being tied should not extend to the second loop on the left side of the pants. In other words, the most suitable belt tail is between loops 1 and 2 after being tied.

A simple rule for color coordination for formal attire when using a leather belt is as follows: The color of the belt should always be the same or darker than the color of the pants. For example: Black pants should only be worn with a black belt. Cream, light brown or navy blue pants can be worn with either a black or dark brown belt.

Fabric belts for summer

Fabric belts are a new and suitable choice for men in casual outfits. When wearing shorts with T-shirts or shirts, especially in these summer days, you may want to use fabric belts to look more dynamic and comfortable.

Fabric belts are lightweight and come in a wide variety of colors: solid colors, patterns, or stripes. When used, the color coordination of fabric belts can be much more flexible than leather belts.
