Blue Leather Belt Unisex with Silver-Tone Pin Buckle Leonardo Verrelli

The first thing you notice is the colour: a clear, plain blue set against a silver-tone pin buckle, with nothing else added. This is the Leonardo Verrelli unisex belt, designed for men and women alike, and it keeps to a restrained look that suits everyday outfits.

It is made from genuine leather, a hardwearing material that picks up more character as the years go by. The belt is 3.3 cm wide and 4 mm thick, so it has a proper presence at the waist without feeling bulky.

Blue sits comfortably alongside white, beige and grey, which makes it easy to wear with jeans, chinos or a pale shirt. It works as well on a weekday as it does at the weekend, and its simple lines mean you are likely to reach for it often.

The fastening is a classic pin buckle in a silver finish, simple and effective. The belt can be shortened, which is handy if you fall between two sizes.

It comes in two lengths, 100 cm and 110 cm. The length is measured without the buckle, up to the middle hole, so you should choose according to your waist measurement. If you already own a belt that fits you well, measure it from the buckle to the hole you use to fasten it, and pick the closest size.

Leather likes a little attention. Every so often, rub in some leather cream and leave the belt to dry in the open air.
