Women's Grey Genuine Leather Belt Leonardo Verrelli

Grey is the quiet colour in a wardrobe that goes with almost everything, and this women's belt makes the most of it. Wear it with black trousers, a white shirt or your favourite blue jeans and it finishes the outfit without shouting about it. The buckle is grey too, so the whole belt stays in the same calm register.

It is made of genuine leather by Leonardo Verrelli, the sort of material you expect from a belt you plan to wear again and again. It measures 3.4 cm wide and about 4 mm thick, a width that suits belt loops on trousers and skirts alike.

The buckle is a classic pin buckle. You slide the pin into the hole that suits you and that is all there is to it. No fuss, no mechanism to puzzle over, just the traditional closure that has worked for generations.

You can wear it at the waist or let it sit lower on the hips. Either way it gives your silhouette a bit of structure and holds your trousers in place while it does so. A grey buckle against grey leather adds a subtle touch of contrast rather than a flashy detail.

It comes in two lengths, 105 cm and 115 cm. To choose, pick the length that matches your waist measurement, taken from the end of the belt, buckle not included, 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 go for the closest size.

Looking after it is easy. A little nourishing balm now and then keeps the leather supple, and if it gets caught in the rain, simply let it dry naturally in the open air.
