While belts made of various materials are available from all kinds of brands, “leather” is a must for a belt that is suitable for an adult look. This time, we focus on “leather belts” and introduce recommended items by genre and how to choose one!

What are the key points in choosing a leather belt?

Many leather belts are simple in design, and many people may think, “It doesn’t matter which one I choose…” In fact, there are several points to look out for when choosing a belt. If you have been choosing a belt “by design,” please take this opportunity to check it out.

How to choose a leather belt (1) “Check the belt width to determine the impression!

The first thing to check is the width of the belt. Although all belts are made of leather and have an elegant appearance, the thickness of the belt can make a big difference in the impression. Generally speaking, 3~3.5cm is the orthodox width, which looks neat and goes well with biz style and beautiful coordinates. To enhance the casual mood of an outfit, a leather belt with a width of 3.5 cm or more is the best choice. Please choose a leather belt based on what kind of “outfit” you want to match it with.

The presence or absence of stitching (seams) is also an important factor in choosing a belt. At a glance, a stitch-less belt looks more sophisticated and can be used for a wide range of occasions, but in fact, it is considered to be more casual for formal occasions and may be considered to be out of keeping with TPO. The same applies to belts with stitching of a different color from the leather or with thicker stitching. For formal or business occasions, a leather belt with a fine design and stitching in the same color as the leather is the standard choice.
