Until Elliot Rhodes came along buying a belt was a relatively simple but most definitely uninspiring experience. When you're in one of our stores our Belt consultants are there to guide you through the myriad choices and to break down long held preconceptions as to how belts should be worn. In this Style Guide we've tried to give you a little guidance in the same way as our stylists do in store, which we hope will set you on your way and perhaps inspire you to think differently about your next belt selection.
Men's Style - The Essentials of choosing the right belt
A few quick tips to get you on the way to choosing the right belt...
- Make sure to wear the right width of belt to suit your trousers. A thin belt is perfect for a suit or formal trousers but for jeans or casual trousers go for something wider that fills the belt loops and feels a little more substantial.
- Choose a leather that suits the trouser – your smooth suit belt will not look good on your jeans and a chunky leather belt will spoil the sharpness of your suit.
- You can always match the colour of your belt to your shoes…BUT do not be afraid to match to your shirt or trouser colour too.
- Change your buckle to suit both mood and occasion.
