Belts

Composition and Style of the Belt

When wearing a belt with a suit, you need to consider the composition of your outfit. It is important to match your belt to your shoes; a flawless, tasteful look is achieved when the belt matches the shoes in both colour and material. In addition, your watch strap should match the belt, and it is wise to coordinate the material of the belt with, for example, your cufflinks. Always pair a silver buckle with silver cufflinks. These small details set the gentleman with a sense of style apart from the ordinary man, and at GENTS you will find all the accessories you need to complete your outfit.

When and How to Wear a Belt

A frequently asked question is: when should I wear a belt? With almost any outfit, a belt is advisable for the polished look of a gentleman. With suits in particular, wearing a belt is a good rule of thumb; only with a tuxedo, tailcoat or morning suit do you wear braces instead of a belt. A well-chosen belt can do a great deal for the overall impression of an outfit. When you wear a blazer, shirt and trousers, a tasteful belt is a perfect addition. There is clear etiquette for wearing belts: men wear their belt fastened counter-clockwise, with the buckle on the left-hand side, while women wear the buckle on the right.

The Belt as an Essential Accessory

A belt is worn not only for its function, but also as an important accessory that draws attention. It is crucial that the belt complements the rest of the outfit, especially in business attire. A well-chosen belt can be a true eye-catcher and enhance the whole of a suit. At GENTS, we understand the importance of the right belt for a stylish and appropriate look. Our collection offers refined belts that suit every style of formal menswear, where even the smallest details are of vital importance.
