How to choose your belt size?

MEASUREMENTS YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN CHOOSING A BELT

If you want to buy a belt without being able to try it on (on the Internet for example), your measurements will be useful to you to be sure you make the right choice.

Once you know them, getting it wrong becomes almost impossible.

Take your measuring tapes!

Here's a tip that will make your life easier: if you already have a belt that suits you perfectly, you can use it as a standard for all your other purchases. Just measure it.

HOW TO TAKE MEASURES ?

WAIST CIRCLE

Also called waist circumference, this measurement corresponds to the horizontal circumference of the body measured at the hollowest point of your abdomen, which is located a little above or below your navel.

There you are, you are now able to buy a belt in store and online without making a mistake.

Let's go even further to make sure you choose the right belt for your needs.

SOME ADVICE FOR CHOOSING A BELT

• If you want to wear it with a suit : you will need a relatively simple belt, in leather (smooth or suede) and quite thin (around 3 cm wide), with a buckle. It should not float between the loops of your pants.
• If you want to wear it in a casual outfit : you are free to choose a leather belt, a nubuck belt, a multi-colored braided belt... anything is possible! However, avoid belts that are too wide, “string” belts and fancy buckles.

When it comes to pairing with shoes, don't worry too much. Try to stay in the same color tones if you are in a suit and avoid the black/brown combination at all costs .
