In addition to shoes, which are said to make the first impression in the business scene, belts are also important items that affect the impression you make. Even if you have gone to the trouble of matching a well-tailored suit and high-end men’s shoes, if you neglect your belt, it will not look good. In this issue, we focus on belts that are perfect for suiting up, and introduce the key points and recommended items for choosing the right one!

What is an appropriate belt for a suit style in the business scene?
The basic premise is that the design should be understated if you want to create a neat look. Choose a simple pin buckle with a square frame and a tailstock clasp. The length of the buckle should be long enough to fit the waist with the pin inserted in the middle of the five holes, and a width of 3 to 3.5 cm is optimal. The best color is black or brown, and smooth leather with a subdued sheen should be selected. Generally speaking, it is best to match the color of the shoes and bag. Incidentally, when wearing a three-piece suit, it is a good idea to keep the belt as well as the shirt hem out of sight.
Mesh belts are suitable for business casual style suits
The mesh belt, woven into a mesh pattern, is an item that is cooler than ordinary belts as well as having a strong presence. Another feature of this belt is that it is easy to adjust the waist, as pins can be inserted anywhere. Although it has the aspect of making the belt look more casual, it is sure to look great during the cool biz season when light clothing is allowed, or when worn with a suit and sneakers. This is especially recommended for those who use a belt for both suit and casual wear. However, because it is such an item, it is better to choose one with a subdued leather texture and a subdued color tone. However, it is not appropriate for important meetings with business partners, business negotiations, and other “special” occasions, so it is necessary to choose the right one for the right situation.
Braceys can add a more sophisticated and formal look to your suit style than belts!
The most classic three-piece suit or a suit vest that enhances the sense of formality has a beautiful silhouette that flows from the vest to the pants. If you want to make the most of this charm, you can use braces instead of a belt, which creates a streamlined silhouette without creating any unevenness between the vest and the pants, and is sure to elevate your style to a sophisticated level. It is taboo to show braces in an orthodox suit style, but one of the charms of braces is that when the vest is not worn, the braces glimpsed from the jacket give off an indescribable sex appeal. Why not take this opportunity to consider wearing braces?
Next, we will introduce a selection of recommended belts that are perfect for suiting up!
