Leonardo Verrelli Men's Red Genuine Leather Belt

It is Monday morning, you pull on your jeans and reach for a belt that does more than hold things up. This red belt in genuine leather from Leonardo Verrelli gives a plain outfit a clear splash of colour.

The belt is 3.8 cm wide and 3 mm thick, a width that sits comfortably with jeans and relaxed trousers. It fastens with a classic pin buckle, simple and reliable, so there is nothing to learn or fiddle with.

The leather gives the belt shape and lets it stand up to daily wear while staying pleasant to wear. Red is a bold choice, so it works best next to neutral tones such as navy, grey, black or denim. Wear it with jeans during the week, or with a suit when you want a small point of difference.

It comes in five lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm and 140 cm. The length is measured from the buckle to the central hole, with the buckle not included, so choose the size that matches your waist measurement.

If you already own a belt that fits you well, measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most. That figure is the size to pick from the five on offer. If the belt turns out a little long, it can be shortened without difficulty.

To keep the leather in good condition, apply a little leather balm from time to time and leave it to dry in the open air.
