Some belts earn their place in the wardrobe simply because you reach for them every morning. This grey genuine leather belt from Leonardo Verrelli is built for exactly that. It goes on in seconds, works with jeans on a Saturday and with smarter trousers on a Monday, and never looks like you tried too hard.
At 3.8 cm wide, it sits comfortably with casual jeans and relaxed trousers, and the 3 mm thickness gives it a solid, dependable feel. Leather like this is a tough material that picks up character the longer you wear it, so the belt looks better lived-in than it did on day one.
Grey is the quiet, adaptable choice. It pairs easily with black, white and blue, which covers most of what is hanging in a typical man's wardrobe. A good belt does more than hold your trousers up, it gives your outfit some structure and pulls the whole look together, whether you are dressed down or dressed up.
The fastening is a classic pin buckle, the tried-and-tested kind that has been doing its job for generations. Looking after the belt takes little effort. A touch of leather cream now and then keeps it supple, and if it gets caught in the rain, just leave it to dry naturally in the open air.
It comes in four lengths: 90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm and 120 cm. The length shown is measured from the buckle, which is not included in the figure, to the middle hole. If you already own a belt that fits you well, measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most and pick the nearest size. And if yours turns out a little long, it can be shortened in a few minutes.
