Be prepared for any occasion with these two men’s belts styles

There you have it.

You absolutely need a more casual brown leather belt with a gold buckle, and a dressier black leather belt with a silver buckle in your wardrobe.

….Of course, could you use more belts than just these two in your closet? Absolutely!

Here’s just a few:

• a dressier brown belt with a silver buckle for suits
• a Prince William-esque braided (or woven) brown leather belt to wear with khakis or jeans
• a fabric belt to wear with shorts
• a preppy belt to wear golfing or to a backyard summer soiree

The list could go on – and probably does, in your closet at home! – but you get the idea.

As for the question of matching your belt to the rest of your outfit:

If you’re wearing a suit – yes – you want to match your belt to your shoes. Black shoes, black belt. Brown shoes (or burgundy, or wine), brown belt.

When it comes to jewelry, however, I don’t think many of you guys are wearing SO MUCH of it that you should nix a belt whose buckle doesn’t match your accessories. A platinum wedding band, for instance, needn’t keep you from the brown belt with gold buckle mentioned in the video.

Tell me:

How many belts do you have in your closet? Which one gets the most use?
