The belt started off as a utility item; something that would remain a constant and would hold your bottoms up securely by the waist, irrespective of body changes. But in modern times, varied belt types are available not only for functional use, but as trimmings to make your outfit stand out that much more. The choice you make with your belt types is critical, as they can define who you are, and what your style mantra is. It becomes imperative for you to choose the right piece for your look, whether it&rsquo;s formal or casual, night or day.<\/p>\n<p>The fashion industry has grown leaps and bounds, and the options are endless. When it comes to mens belt styles, the choices range from leather, fabric and woven belts, and cover all kinds of colours and belt buckles. It isn&rsquo;t just the fit and quality, but also the material and colour that matters when picking the right belt types. When donning a belt, ensure that the colour matches your shoes, so that your outfit doesn&rsquo;t end up looking completely mismatched. A woven or fabric belt will work better for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/style-guide-5-outfits-for-mens-casual-wear-with-jeans-go-denim\" title=\"5 Outfits for Casual Look - Bewakoof Blog\">casual look<\/a> and is a great belt for jeans, whereas leather is a definite formal choice.<\/p>\n<p>So buckle up, as we take you through the different types of belts and belt styles that you can use to become a serious source of style inspiration. Follow this guide to learn about the difference between formal and casual belts and how to wear a belt the correct way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Choose_different_types_of_belts_in_trendy_colors_for_your_formal_attire\" title=\"Choose different types of belts in trendy colors for your formal attire!\">Choose different types of belts in trendy colors for your formal attire!<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Pick_a_Black_leather_belt_for_a_nice_formal_touch\" title=\"Pick a Black leather belt for a nice formal touch!\">Pick a Black leather belt for a nice formal touch!<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#A_Brown_formal_belt_can_serve_as_a_sleek_add-on\" title=\"A Brown formal belt can serve as a sleek add-on\">A Brown formal belt can serve as a sleek add-on<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Belt_buckles_for_formal_wear-_clasp_it_on_real_nice\" title=\"Belt buckles for formal wear- clasp it on real nice!\">Belt buckles for formal wear- clasp it on real nice!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Choose_cool_casual_belts_for_casual_outings\" title=\"Choose cool casual belts for casual outings\">Choose cool casual belts for casual outings<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Woven_casual_belts_for_jeans_and_shorts_will_weave_into_your_fashion_statement\" title=\"Woven casual belts for jeans and shorts will weave into your fashion statement\">Woven casual belts for jeans and shorts will weave into your fashion statement<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/6-types-of-belts-for-men-and-styling-ideas\/#Try_Fabric_belts_Your_belt_could_use_some_fabric\" title=\"Try Fabric belts!

Before you get down to selecting which one would suit your overall attire the best, get your basics right.<\/p>\n<p>How to wear a belt in the right colour can be tricky business, especially if you&rsquo;ve got a wide variety to choose from. Black and brown have been around for years, as the trusty staples, but the modern man has expanded his belt vocabulary to include blue, navy, grey, tan, and rust. The colours remain on the earthy end of spectrum, as these tend to work with multiple items of clothing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_a_Black_leather_belt_for_a_nice_formal_touch\"><\/span>Pick a Black leather belt for a nice formal touch!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Black leather belt for a nice formal - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/2920\/content_black_leather_belt_bewakoof_blog_1.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The belt is a fairly simple piece of fashion accessory, and extremely comfortable and easy to wear. Leather is usually suitable as a formal belt with trousers, or as a suit belt. Quite obviously, it isn&rsquo;t meant to dress up your outfit any more than it should, and must only work as a stylish streamlining factor between your top and bottom half. Think of it as something that will smarten up your look, like a tie, in an understated, subtle way.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Brown_formal_belt_can_serve_as_a_sleek_add-on\"><\/span>A Brown formal belt can serve as a sleek add-on<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A Brown formal belt - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/2923\/content_brown_formal_belt_bewakoof_blog_2.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While a black leather belt has a tendency to meld into your outfit quite indiscernibly, a formal brown belt takes a little more work. Having said that, formal belts for mens wear do come with simple buckles and a flexibility that only an earthy colour like brown can offer. When coupled with polished brown leather shoes and almost any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/blog\/formal-pant-shirt-style-outfit-ideas-for-men\" title=\"Pant Shirt Combinations for Men - Bewakoof Blog\">combination of shirts and trousers<\/a>, this is a winning look!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Belt_buckles_for_formal_wear-_clasp_it_on_real_nice\"><\/span>Belt buckles for formal wear- clasp it on real nice!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Belt buckles for formal wear - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/2918\/content_belt_buckles_for_formal_wear_Bewakoof_blog_3.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Different types of belts offer different opportunities to show off your personal style, but the one thing that remains constant is the belt buckle. Over the years, with the evolution of fashion in general, the types of belt buckles have undergone some drastic changes, progressing from the plain frame buckle to the modern plate and two-hoop buckle. For formal belt buckles, the classic framed buckle in matte stainless steel keeps it low key, irrespective of the colour of the belt. Just make sure the metal frame colour doesn&rsquo;t clash with the strap of your watch.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_cool_casual_belts_for_casual_outings\"><\/span>Choose cool casual belts for casual outings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of all the types of belts available in the global fashion arena, it&rsquo;s the casual ones that offer the most opportunities to create bold, layered looks. Non-fussy and easily complementary with almost anything you wear on a daily basis, the casual belt for man comes in all kinds of materials, mainly fabric. These are most suited for casual summer looks, either for a lunch date, an evening with friends or a sunny day by the beach, and work great as a casual belt for jeans or shorts. It imparts a relaxed look and lets you show your experimental streak.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Woven_casual_belts_for_jeans_and_shorts_will_weave_into_your_fashion_statement\"><\/span>Woven casual belts for jeans and shorts will weave into your fashion statement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Woven casual belts for jeans and shorts\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/2919\/content_belt_for_formal_wear_bewakoof_blog_4.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Woven belts are those types of waist belts that are the mark of a man who believes in the classics. The texture of a woven belt is such that even with a pair of chinos or linen shorts, it has the ability to make a big impact. One of the most nifty belt types we have today, woven belts in their traditional zigzag design have become a rage on the runways, especially for their informal, summer vibe. Our ideal choice would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bewakoof.com\/men-plain-t-shirts\/color-white\" title=\"Buy White Plain TShirts for Men Online India - Bewakoof Blog\">plain white t-shirt<\/a>, a pair of khaki shorts, flip flops and a dark brown or rust coloured woven belt for a well-put-together look.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_Fabric_belts_Your_belt_could_use_some_fabric\"><\/span>Try Fabric belts!

They&rsquo;re easy to use and maintain, and add an element of fun to your outfit. Canvas and cloth belts are the most commonly used fabric belts, available in all forms of patterns. The fabric belt texture is such that it easily wraps around your waist, without the stiffness that leather may have.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thin_belts_can_amplify_your_formal_attire\"><\/span>Thin belts can amplify your formal attire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Thin belts - Bewakoof Blog\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bewakoof.com\/utter\/content\/2922\/content_thin_belt_for_men_bewakoof_blog_6.jpg\" width=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a lot of people, wearing belts that are thinner than the pant loops and don&rsquo;t manage to fill them in is a serious faux pas. Instead of following the trend, how about you set a new one? Thin belts for men take a little more effort to carry off than regular sized belts, but it all depends on the flair it imparts to your look. Thin belts are usually dressier and more formal than the thick ones. The belt isn&rsquo;t meant to look delicate, so keep your outfit in check by balancing the heaviness with softer materials and colours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clueless about different types of belts and how important they are?
