Braided Fabric Belt Unisex Red with Brown Pin Buckle

The first thing to know about this belt is the way it is woven: the fabric is braided, so there are no punched holes to work around. The pin of the buckle simply slides between the threads, which means you can fasten it exactly where it feels right, to the nearest centimetre.

It comes in a warm, confident red, finished with a brown pin buckle. It is a lovely way to bring a bit of colour into an outfit that is otherwise made up of neutral shades, and the plain, uncomplicated look means it will not fight with whatever you pair it with.

Because it is made of fabric, it has a relaxed, holiday feel that suits a pair of chinos or a favourite pair of Bermuda shorts particularly well. It is an everyday accessory rather than an occasion piece, and you can wear it in any season.

The belt is unisex, so men and women can both pick it up and wear it easily. It measures 3.2 cm wide and about 5 mm thick, a comfortable proportion that holds your waistband in place without feeling bulky.

It is available in three lengths: 100 cm, 110 cm and 120 cm. To choose yours, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most. That measurement is the length to pick from the three on offer.

Looking after it is easy. Wash it by hand in lukewarm soapy water, then leave it to dry flat, away from any source of heat. Treated that way, it should stay a colourful, dependable companion for your everyday wardrobe.
