Belts

Belts

Belts exist in this weird category where most guys own at least two or three but have probably never actually thought about any of them. They're just there. Black one for smart stuff. Brown one that appeared from somewhere. Possibly a third one in a colour that was a mistake. We've been there. The thing about belts is they're one of those details that people notice when they're wrong even if they couldn't explain exactly why. A canvas belt with dress trousers looks off even if nobody in the room could tell you what the problem is. A good leather belt in the right width for the trousers you're wearing just works and makes the overall outfit feel like it was assembled by someone who knew what they were doing. We'd always say match your belt to your shoes when you're wearing anything smarter than jeans. It sounds like a minor thing but it creates a cohesion that genuinely makes a difference to how polished you look overall.
