Belt

Tailored trousers and chinos call for a narrow leather belt with a plain buckle. Material and color follow the shoes: suede with suede loafers and Chelsea boots, dark brown smooth leather with brown derbys and loafers, black smooth leather with black shoes. Trousers with a drawstring or side adjusters need no belt.
