Leonardo Verrelli Women's Black Genuine Leather Belt 3.4 cm

Black is the colour that quietly goes with everything, and this belt makes the most of it. Wear it with your favourite jeans on a Saturday, with tailored trousers or a skirt for the office, or around the waist of a jacket when you want a cleaner silhouette. It is the kind of accessory you reach for without thinking, which is exactly the point.

Made by Leonardo Verrelli in genuine leather, it is a sturdy belt that develops a lovely patina as the months go by. It is 3.4 cm wide and 3 mm thick, and it fastens with a classic pin buckle. It comes in two lengths, 90 cm and 105 cm. If you are between two sizes, you can shorten it, which makes the choice a little less stressful. Leather likes a bit of attention too, so a touch of leather balm a few times a year will keep it supple.

To pick your length, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you actually use. Then choose the size closest to that number. You can also go by your waist measurement, taken from the end of the belt, without the buckle, to the middle hole.
