Why Belt Quality is Important
It’s important to purchase belts that are good quality because you put on and take off your belt very often. You don’t want to be dealing with cracks and loss of color a couple of months after you purchased the belt.
Different Types of Belts
Let’s quickly go over the two main types of belts that are used, it’s important to know the difference since certain belts should be used in certain situations.
Dress Belt
Whenever fancy attire is required that means you should be wearing a dress belt. A dress belt will give you a more polished look and it is most often worn in black or brown. In this situation be sure to match your belt with your shoes. If you’re wearing black shoes, wear s black belt. If you’re wearing brown shoes, wear a brown belt.
Be sure to stick with vegan leather for dress belts. It’s the most popular option for a reason. It will tie the outfit together and it will give you an overall polished look.

Casual Belt
Casual belts are great for outfits that involve jeans, shorts, casual dresses, etc. Vegan leather, woven, elastic, and canvas belts are great options if you’re looking for casual belts. However, just like dress belts we do recommend you look for a vegan leather belt since it is the best quality material. Colors for casual belts can include gray, brown, black, blue, red, tan, and many more!
