With so many leather belt options available, how do you know which ones are worth it?

It boasts a classic design that comes in three variations to truly compliment your look.

Plus, it’s possible for you to even monogram it for an extra special touch.

“This is the perfect belt to wear with a dress to accentuate your waist, says Bandi.

The minimal hardware allows it to be functional without necessarily drawing attention in a ‘statement belt’ way.”

Crafted from smooth Italian leather, this wide belt will last for years.

“The understated hardware is the perfect combination with the monogrammed leather, says Bandi.

Monogram can make a belt a little more flashy, so the hardware balances nicely here.”

Its technically one size and can be cut with a pair of scissors to the owners liking.

“I see this belt as the perfect accessory for an A-line dress, says Bandi.

With various band and even gold-toned buckle options to choose from, theres a style to fit every aesthetic.

Its elegant, traditional, and sure to become a favorite.

Its priced reasonably and comes in multiple shades, including Strawberry Shake.

Theres a ’50s appeal to this belt, which would look especially cute with A-line dresses.

We love the idea of wearing it as a fun layering piece with short dresses or over largesweaters.

It gives off an ultra-cool vibe and is the best choice for a night out on the town.

You could also wear it to add a pop of color to a neutral or blackwool coat.

The elongated trapezoidal buckle also feels super contemporary.

I see this paired with a dress or with jeans and a crop top,” says Bandi.

Our favorite part about this belt though has to be the fact that there arenobelt holes.

After you decide how you want to wear your belt, grab some measuring tape!
