Belt
Mango man
Belts are an indispensable part of the wardrobe of any modern man. And very often, a belt performs not only its main function - maintaining trousers, but it is also a fashionable attribute. It is with the help of a belt that a man can express his personality in the world of men's fashion, often prone to standards and traditions. By choosing a belt, you can determine the status of a person, his tastes and even lifestyle.
Width and length
The width of the men's belt for formal and formal wardrobe groups is 3.2 cm. Variations within 3-3.5 cm are acceptable. When choosing the width of the men's belt, it is important to consider the size of the harness of the dressing unit to which you select the belt: the belt should not be too thin and hang out under harnesses; the belt should not be wider than the harnesses, and bend under their pressure. The narrow belt must be friends with the width of the tie and lapels of the jacket, supported by the thin sole of the classic model of shoes with neat noses.
Well-known manufacturers of original men's belts
All these manufacturers have their own unique distinguishing features. For example, the legendary Levi’s products have not been inferior to anyone for many decades thanks to the courage reflected in their products, and the famous English brand Lee Cooper is notable for its high quality, natural materials and unlimited care for its customer. Timberland is known for its quality materials and meticulous details. Balmain is a luxury, branded belts are made of suede, natural strips of leather that are intertwined, etc. 
In addition, Balmain loves to use rich color palettes when creating her belts. Dolce & Gabbana - classic colors and a must-have brand logo. Dsquared are famous for their unpredictable collections, if you really want to excel, choose them.
Fashion trends
Among the men's collections fall-winter 2019-2020 we can find a wide variety of belts. Woven leather belts (both natural and artificial) in various colors: brown, white, beige, blue and especially multi-colored are in fashion. There are models with large and small weaving. Stylish fabric belts for jeans, bordered at the edges with pieces of leather are also in trend.
The trend is simple leather belts (natural and artificial) brown or black, but with an unusual shape buckle. An interesting novelty 2019-2020 - textured black belts with a plastic buckle. And, of course, the Wild West belts are in fashion - shabby brown genuine leather and shabby gold buckle.
Choose a men's belt
Classic pants, jeans, chinos, khaki pants or any other pants should not fall off if you wear them without a belt. Like a business suit, any pants should be matched to your physique and physique. A belt is for the most part a means of enriching your look, image. The function of restraining pants so that they do not fall off is secondary.
Combine the color of the leather details of the wardrobe. Black shoes - black belt; brown shoes - brown belt. This is an unshakable rule that must be followed, although some people think otherwise. It’s even better to combine a watch with a leather strap in the color of shoes and a belt, but it just might differ than the combination of a shoe-belt. However, the rule should not be taken literally. If your shoes are not ordinary, say, striped, then the color of the belt does not have to be “striped”. But, in general color scheme, nevertheless, follow.
Pay attention to the belt buckle. If you grew up from childhood, you should choose a simple classic buckle without the inscription “Dolce & Gabbana” for the entire width. Silver color and simple look are the best choice. But we will talk about this separately.
Belt, perhaps, is not the thing to spend money, unlike a suit, shoes and watches. However, the rule: the better the thing, the better and better it works here. Belts made of cheap leather of poor manufacture or even leatherette stretch and crack after a short period of use. Especially if you like to tighten your belt tighter.
Spend some money on a good leather belt and you won’t regret it.
Men's belt size
The belt is popular as a gift for men, which entails a corresponding problem with determining the length.
Knowing the following tips will help you to navigate correctly in this matter:
Take the waist size of your jeans and increase it by a couple of points. For example, if it is 34 ″, then the belt should be 36-38. It is in inches, and it is useful if you shop on ebay, because there is almost all the dimension - American. In our stores you just have to convert to centimeters, multiplying by 2.54. Thus, 38 rr is about 95 cm. In any case, there is no more reliable way than trying directly in the store. 
Next, you need to take into account the length of the tail on the left buttoned up: for classic - this is about the size of the thumb (from the beginning of the joint), for casual - more than that - but in both cases the length of the male belt should not reach the second loops.
A good size will be one in which the above conditions are met, and the belt fastens with a second or third hole.
Among the variety, it’s quite difficult to choose a men's perfume, so we presented you with lists of the best, most unusual fragrances for men.

Types of men's belts
The belt is not only an accessory that emphasizes the status and delicate taste of its owner, but also a necessary subject of a men's toilet. All existing today belts can be divided into three groups - sports, for everyday wear and classic. Designers who create outfits for the strong half of humanity believe that all these varieties of this men's accessory should be present in the wardrobe of a modern man. It is hard to disagree with them.
Classic men's belt 
The width is less than everyday, the traditional colors are black, brown. Leather material. The buckle is simple, rectangular, the color is silver, sometimes gold, of a small size. In general, if we talk about the size of the buckle, then there is a dependence: the more - the less official the style is assumed. 
According to some beliefs, you can not wear a belt with a classic business suit. It is a fact. However, in my humble opinion, using a belt, you fill in the missing link (face if you want) between the shirt and the pants. So whether to use the belt with a formal dress code or not, try to decide for yourself. 
Classic belts can be made both from leather and from a substitute for this material. The width of the 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 shoes) with silver or gold buckle. Silver, by the way, is a more suitable color for office work or formal events, meetings. The buckle should not be massive, curved or not a standard shape. Leave all the “delights” for an informal dress code.
Casual men's belt
There can be completely different options, limited only by your imagination and good taste. Casual belts, or belts for casual style, are much more diverse than classic belts. You are not attached to form and traditions, therefore you have more freedom of color, style, material of which the belt is made. The same applies to belt buckles, however, you should not wear the inscription “I Love Rock-n-Roll” or something similar. 
Casual belts, as a rule, are slightly wider than classic ones and can reach 5 centimeters. Narrow belts are recommended to be worn by young men, and gentlemen of advanced age should use accessories of maximum width. As for the buckle, it is also more than usual classic to look harmonious with jeans or chinos. The buckle mechanism is also diverse. In addition to a simple open buckle, there are buckles with an anchor on the back or buckles with a clip. The latter, as a rule, are used on fabric belts, otherwise the skin will quickly deteriorate. 
Woven belts are very popular. They are universal and perfect for casual style, hinting at individuality. A suede belt combined with suede shoes will set you apart in any company, rest assured!
Sports belt
A bit about sports. The sports belt can be made of rubber, rubber or fabric. It is only relevant when wearing sportswear or jeans. Moreover, in the second case, the belt should be hidden under a T-shirt or sweater. Such a belt says little about business or everyday style, so we won’t get hung up on it, but leave a detailed story to the sporting blogs and websites.
How to wear a men's belt
- First, you need to decide - either a belt or suspenders. I mentioned this in an article about mistakes in men's clothing.
- Secondly, don’t need to thread it under the jeans label - it’s bad form.
Leather men's belts are appropriate in any kit. If you wear chinos or cargo pants, a fabric belt is fine. .
Exotic skin types - I mean the skin of an ostrich, snake and other reptiles, should be used with caution. They tend to draw extra attention to your waist, and if this is not desirable for you, discard such materials. To the same extent, this applies to bright colors - use only with due confidence. 
Braided belt is suitable for different situations. But be careful with formal clothes, as its voluminous texture can drown out the modest matter of the costume.
Suede is also a fairly common base. As you know, the best combination here is with suede shoes. Combine the color of the buckle (gold or silver) with the color of other accessories: watches, cufflinks, tie clips. The wedding ring is an exception. The color of the belt, if it is a sufficiently strict dress code, must be combined with the color of the shoe. 
Naturally, as soon as black shoes appear in your arsenal, your next purchase should be a black leather belt. In a smart casual style, such a dependency is not paramount. But still, in order to achieve harmony, you need to choose the color of the belt to match another leather accessory - a watch strap, bracelet or bag. 
To make the transition from trousers to a shirt and a jacket more invisible, which is good for short stature (generally, horizontal stripes in any form should be avoided to increase harmony), you need to bring the shades of the belt and trousers as close as possible.
Can I wear a narrow men's belt with wide jeans loops? Yes, if you agree with the rest of the details: jacket lapels of a similar width, a narrow tie and narrowed-toe capes. 
Belts are often underestimated. Most people, especially people of the "old school" will be sure that the belt is an exclusively functional task and there is no need to combine it with other details of the wardrobe. Nevertheless, if you play a little with the color or structure of the belt, try to combine the general aesthetics and the function of keeping the pants in the right place, and you will kill two birds with one stone!
Men have much fewer accessories in the wardrobe than women who can emphasize individuality. Everything is subordinated to classical canons and traditions. These attributes include a watch, tie, purse or men's belts.The latter have a lot of varieties and their individual characteristics, which are worth considering in more detail.

Features
Initially, the men's belt appeared as a part of the uniform of soldiers and performed exclusively practical functions, but then they did not think about the individuality of the image. Later it began to be used by aristocrats, emphasizing their high status. It was made of durable genuine leather, inaccessible to commoners - they were belted with a simple braid or rag rope.
Today, almost everyone uses men's belts - from a primary school student to a respectable old man. The variety of brands, models, materials and colors is simply unlimited. Moreover, each season there are regular new items. This wardrobe item does not lose its popularity all over the world.

If we talk about the practical functions of the belt, then it supports pants or trousers, and also makes the figure more slender and helps to form a posture. Much more interesting is its purpose as a decorating accessory: a belt can emphasize the status of a man, testify to his strength and confidence, reflect his character, attitude to fashion and style, belonging to a certain subculture.
It is these completely non-practical functions that have led to a huge variety of models of these wonderful products.

The belt in its most general form has the form of a dense belt of different thicknesses with a solid buckle and punched holes for fastening and adjusting in size. This definition, of course, is completely incomplete, since there are a lot of varieties with their own design features, details and decor. For example, a belt with a buckle or buckle “automatic” has no holes.

Varieties
From the whole variety of belts - brand or purchased at the nearest market, everyday or classic, factory or handmade, there are 3 main types that cannot be confused:
- Classic men's belts -those designed to gird classic trousers. They have a smooth surface - even or slightly convex, standard width, usually 3-4 cm. The classic version has a simple and not too massive metal buckle of silver or gold color, high-quality options are made of smooth genuine leather.
- Casual or Casual, as is commonly called in the West, has a greater variety of models than previous ones. These belts are worn on jeans, casual trousers, shorts, and chinos. Their width is greater than that of the classic ones, the buckle can also be much more massive and more diverse in forms and mechanisms. Materials are not only leather, but also dense fabrics or weaving. Casual belts are most suitable for young people, but mature men can use low-key options with a minimum width.
- Sports branded men's beltsused with sweatpants, usually made of rubber or fabric. They can also be worn on jeans, but in this case they should be hidden under a T-shirt or jacket. Due to the characteristics of sportswear, this kind is not common.
Models
Models of men's belts, as a rule, vary in the design of their buckles. Its traditional type is in the form of a plaque with a fixed anchor that is threaded into the hole. Such variations are found in all classic models and in most belts in a casual style, they are also called wrapped. An anchor is most often one, but there can be two. Another variant of the badge is with a fastener and with an adjustable length, which has no holes, such, for example, are traditional soldier's belts.
Without holes there are belts with automatic buckle, which are the most practical. They are fastened with one easy movement, which is very convenient for business men with a fast pace of life. For the reliability of the mechanism, it is best to buy goods from trusted brands with such a model. Belts with automatic buckle are represented by many design solutions.
On leather models, buckles with anchors are most often placed, and automatic fasteners with loops or clips can be installed on rag and wicker ones. TO in addition to this, in modern fashion there are belts with removable buckles. This option is good for double-sided straps. In such accessories, the two sides have different colors or patterns. They are convenient in that one belt can be used for various variants of the suit, because in terms of color it should be combined with shoes, a tie and other wardrobe items.
Dimensions
The most suitable length of the men's belt should be such that it fastens with a 2-3 hole, while the free end is threaded only through the first harness on the trousers. And if it is without holes with a buckle-clasp, it should be so regulated that the excess part inside is no more than 10-12 cm. The free end of the belt is too long, although it is tucked in, it does not look very aesthetically pleasing.
In order to determine the size of the belt, you should measure your waist in centimeters and then use one of the two tables on a European or American scale. The European marking has values \u200b\u200bfrom 70 to 125 with a waist circumference of 66 to 129 cm, the American one - from XXS to XXXXL with a waist circumference of 61 to 127 cm. belts with a margin of several large sizes.
The width of men's belts does not have a definite classification: the classic version has a maximum of 4 cm, and wider everyday ones can reach 7-8 cm.

Another great and relevant option may be a woven belt, but because of the thinness of its threads it is better to choose genuine leather.

How to choose
Many people know that you need to choose a belt to match the color of the shoes, but it is even better if the shades are respected. For example, there is not just brown color, but also dozens of its varieties. Each has its own name, and fashion experts and many experienced clothing sellers know them, so there is someone to consult with. Not only colors and shades should be combined, but also texture: to a smooth belt - smooth shoes, to wicker - the same shoes. Then the image will become truly spectacular and harmonious.
For office work, business meetings or other serious events, of course, you should choose the classic style of smooth monotonous leather with a small buckle. But on vacation or while walking with light loose clothing, he will look inappropriate. In this case, you can put on a woven strap, and preferably textile. If it has bright colors, then you must also not forget about their combination with other accessories, but here it is not so significant.
