Braided Fabric Belt for Men and Women - Blue, Brown Buckle

Blue is an easy colour to wear, and this one sits happily with white, beige and grey. Put it with a pair of jeans, a chino or shorts and a plain shirt, and it adds a quiet touch of colour without drawing attention to itself. It is a unisex belt, so it suits men and women alike, whether the look is relaxed or a little smarter.

The strap is made of fabric and braided, which keeps it soft and light on the waist, a real advantage when the weather is warm. It measures 3.2 cm wide and 5 mm thick. The brown prong buckle gives a classic fastening and a gentle contrast against the blue weave.

Because the strap is braided, there are no punched holes to work around. The prong slips between the threads wherever you need it, so you can adjust the fit to the centimetre. The belt comes in three lengths, 100 cm, 110 cm and 120 cm. If you already own a belt that fits you well, measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most, and choose the length closest to that figure.

Looking after it is simple. If it gets marked, wash it by hand in lukewarm water and leave it to dry in the open air. A well-chosen belt does more than hold up your trousers: it balances the outfit and finishes it neatly, which makes this plain, versatile model one you will reach for often.
