There is a large selection of leather belts for men. They come in a wide variety of colours, shapes, lengths and widths. We will now take a closer look at which types to buy and for which occasions they are best suited.
Double-thorn leather belt: Double-thorn leather belts (consisting of two rows of holes instead of just one) combine elegance with sportiness, making them an eye-catcher for any man's jeans trousers. They are perfect for a casual look, but can also be worn during work when a casual outfit is the order of the day. However, this men's belt is not at all suitable for formal occasions and in combination with a suit.
Braided leather belts: Braided leather belts are available in different widths and colours and can be worn for casual wear as well as with a suit. They are a good alternative to the classic men's belt and can be combined in many ways. Nevertheless, in individual cases you should not completely lose sight of the occasion. If you want to wear a very formal and serious outfit, you should consider using a simple, classic men's belt or choosing a very fine braid.
Shinyvs. matt leather belts: Shiny men's leather belts are more suitable for festive and formal occasions and should be combined with shiny shoes. Matte belts, on the other hand, are more suitable for men's casual wear and can therefore be more colourful. They should ideally be worn with matte shoes.
Genuine leather vs. imitation leather belts: The choice between a genuine leather and an imitation leather belt for men should be made very carefully. Imitation leather belts are often seen to be of low quality, which means that in the end they look anything but elegant. If you need a men's belt primarily for functional reasons and the appearance itself is only a secondary matter, you can go for this cheaper variant. However, if the belt is to be used primarily as an accessory for men and also for formal occasions, you cannot avoid a genuine leather belt or a high-quality vegan variant. They are a must, especially with high-quality men's suits.
Handmadeleather belts: Handmade men's leather belts score points above all with their high quality in terms of the leather used, the precise and unique workmanship and the longevity that goes with it. If you also have special wishes that are not fulfilled on the market, you can opt for a custom-made belt, which is offered by many manufacturers. For men, they are ideal for formal occasions, but can also be worn in a rustic version for leisure.
