Men's Belts: A Must-Have for Every Outfit
Style-conscious men know exactly how important a belt is for a perfect outfit. On the one hand, it ensures that the trousers fit correctly, and on the other hand, it makes a stylish impression. How well a men's belt complements an outfit depends entirely on the respective type. Not all men's belts are the same, but in addition to the design, there are a few other factors that you should consider when choosing. If you want to know what these are, read on.
Only the Best Brands for Men's Belts
On bags.co.uk., you will find many men's belts from established brands that have made a name for themselves in the fashion industry. Most of them sell leather belts for men, as the material has always been considered elegant and timeless. It will therefore probably continue to be used for trouser belts in the coming years. Among others, Boss, Strellson, and Tommy Hilfiger have established themselves in the leather goods industry. Boss stands for elegance and quality. In contrast to Hugo, the brand appeals more to a mature rather than a young target group. Strellson has been considered an unconventional brand for men since its founding. The classic men's leather belts of the brand are characterized by clear and simple lines. Unlike Boss and Strellson, Tommy Hilfiger tends to sell sporty belts. In addition to the mentioned brands, we have many more in stock. Order a men's belt to your taste now!
Tip: Make sure that the color of your belt matches the rest of the outfit. It should harmonize either with the trousers or the shoes. This is important to achieve a complete look and is important for both leather belts for men and belts made of other materials.
An Appealing Design Is Not Everything
As with other accessories, most people primarily pay attention to the design when buying a men's belt. This is understandable and correct, as the appearance of the belt must match the rest of the outfit. After all, belts are not only functional accessories but also a fashion statement. Nevertheless, the selection is not just about the design. Other important criteria are:
- Width
- Length
- Material
- Intended use
- Closure
How strongly you weigh a certain criterion is at your discretion. There is no blanket rule for what must be prioritized. To make your selection easier, we would like to shed more light on the various points.

Length and Width
No belt should be too short or too long. A good coordination is important so that the look is not destroyed. This means: Be sure to measure your hip circumference before you buy a men's belt. Then add about 10 centimeters to determine your optimal belt length. Although men's belts are generally significantly wider than women's belts, there are still relatively narrow models. How wide is too wide or how narrow is too narrow depends on the respective outfit or intended use. For formal occasions – especially in combination with a suit – a narrow belt is the better choice. For leisure time, on the other hand, wider belts are better. They go well with jeans, for example.
Material
Trouser belts can be made of a wide variety of materials, and all have their own properties. Leather belts for men are particularly popular because they combine high durability with a timeless appearance. Genuine leather is still preferred over faux leather by most people. Although it is more maintenance-intensive, it is more resistant to possible damage. For example, you don't have to worry about a high-quality men's leather belt deforming in strong sunlight. If you are looking for an inexpensive alternative, fabric belts are a good option. Most fabric belts are cheap and rely on a modern look.
Closure
Most belts in our assortment have a pin buckle. This means that the prong is inserted through one of the holes in the belt to close it. However, there are also other types of closures, including automatic buckles and coupling buckles. Automatic buckles allow for adjustment to the desired length via a ratchet system. Coupling buckles are mainly used for work belts. They consist of two interlocking metal parts that ensure a secure hold.
Intended Use
Before you decide for or against a belt, you should consider what you are buying it for in the first place. This point determines how elegant or casual the men's belt may be. The difference between suit belts and sports belts is enormous. The same applies to many other types of belts.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Men's Belts Category
What types of men's belts are available at bags.co.uk?
Here you will find a large selection of belts of different types, including numerous leather belts for men. The reason for the large number of leather belts for men is that they have been considered the gold standard among belts for centuries. They score with an elegant appearance that surpasses belts made of other materials such as fabric. Nevertheless, we at bags.co.uk naturally also have fabric belts on offer. They are a good option if you are looking for a modern and inexpensive alternative. You also have a large selection when it comes to the type of closure. Men's belts with a pin buckle are the most common, but we also offer belts with an automatic or coupling buckle.
Which colors are particularly versatile for men's belts?
There are men's belts in extravagant colors such as blue, yellow, or red. However, such colors are rather rare and not exactly versatile, as they can only be worn with unusual outfits at most. Colors like brown, navy, or black are far more flexible. As timeless classics, they can be combined with a wide variety of styles and are therefore suitable for almost any occasion.
What types of closures are there for men's belts and how do they differ?
Basically, a distinction is made between three types of closures for leather belts for men and other types: pin buckles, coupling buckles, and automatic buckles. Pin buckles are the common standard, in which the prong is inserted through one of the holes in the belt. Coupling buckles, on the other hand, rely on two interlocking metal parts. Some modern belts have automatic buckles. Contrary to popular belief, they do not allow for stepless adjustment but are adjusted using an integrated grid.
