FORMAL WEAR MEN LEATHER BELT

The strap is made of black leather, ideally smooth and with a subtle sheen (rather than overly textured or rugged) so that it complements dress trousers, suits and formal attire.

The buckle is typically metal, polished or brushed in a classic finish (silver, brushed nickel, gunmetal or a very low-key brass). It is simple in design — no oversized logos, flashy embellishments or too much ornamentation. For example, one formal belt is described as “crafted from fine French leather … traditional brass buckle.”
