Belts. Everywhere I go and everywhere I look, you will find men wearing belts. Unfortunately not all of us know how to choose and look for in a belt.You should definitely own more than one belt,your belts should be of quality material, and they should always fit the occasion. You should own the essential black or brown dress belt for all your more formal events. These belts are perfect for the office, for sophisticated appointments, trendy lounges, and important dates. You should also own a quality everyday belt. A belt that you can wear around everywhere you go, whether it be to the super market or to the movies with friends. I recently read an article critiquing the style of the world renowned soccer player, David Beckham and it commented on how he could always be found with a quality brown leather belt - proof that men are catching on everywhere to the versatility of a belt.

Now, you must know what you should look for when actually choosing a belt. It may sound obvious, but your belt should fit correctly, the rule of thumb is a belt should be one size above your waste size. But to be safe, you should never just buy a belt without first trying it on. Next you should choose a belt of quality craftsmanship. You should stay away from belts that look like they are poorly engineered. If you buy a belt, you should by a belt that lasts. Buying a belt that lasts is not only a good investment but it shows the quality of individual you are!
