STYLE HELP

The most important thing in a belt is the buckle.
Belts usually sold have a silver buckle with a similar design. As you may have experienced, ‘The colour of the belt is good for today's style, but the buckle is not...’.
We have a long history of being imprinted with the fact that belts usually have a silver buckle.
It is an item that we have become accustomed to, and we can't do anything about it even if we are dissatisfied with it. But please understand that the buckle is the key to co-ordination.
A coordinated look is completed with a buckle that matches today's style. At Elliot Rhodes, you will experience how much a single buckle can make a difference.

It is not enough; it is not enough. For example, you cannot have ten jackets and ten pairs of shoes and only one pair of trousers.
If you have 10 jackets and 10 pairs of trousers, you need several belts to match each styling.
However, until now there were no shops or sales outlets where I could choose a belt that suited my style, so I had a history of choosing one safe belt and using it all the time. Elliot Rhodes London offers around 200,000 possible combinations of buckles and straps.
Wearing a belt that suits your different styles and makes an impression is an important part of your work style.

30 mm and 35 mm are suitable. A decade ago, 30 mm was the favourite, but these days 35 mm is the most popular.
The belt width must be chosen according to the silhouette, height and shape of the suit.
Suits with slim silhouettes and slender people prefer 30 mm, while standard suits and people with a good physique recommend 35 mm.
The tightening feeling is very good with 35 mm, although the difference is only 5 mm.
We recommend that you choose a belt width that suits your style, without being influenced by magazines or media publications.

It depends on the work environment, but you will make a better impression if the colour of your belt matches the colour of the suit you wear.
This means a navy belt for a navy suit, a grey belt for a grey suit and a black belt for a black suit.
Shoes can then be any colour. Only the shoes should be colour separated to create a more pleasing styling.
Matching the colour of the belt and shoes is not an absolute rule of fashion. You can match them if you like, but if you match them too much, you will look like you are trying too hard.
If you are wearing a grey suit or trousers, a brown belt and brown shoes will give a good impression, but a black belt and black shoes will give an ‘old man’ look.

Brown has a wide range of colour saturation, so it is not easy to find a belt of the same colour. Even if you can find a colour, if the belt does not match the taste of the shoes, you will get a ‘makeshift’ look. In the case of brown, pay attention to the shade. If you choose a gradient-coloured type, it will pick up the shades of the shoe colour well. Choose a colour that matches the lightness of the brown of the shoes you have.

The basics are there, but that is not enough. If you coordinate when you wear a navy blue belt, it can be stylish or casual. The same navy blue can have different shades and colour saturation. You need a navy blue belt to suit each style. If it is a black belt, it helps to have two belts, one glossy and one matte. Some colours you only need to have one of a colour and some colours you need more than one. It is important to choose one that coordinates with your own.

Depending on the type of unique colour, it makes more of an impression to wear a belt that matches the colour of your trousers or suit. For example, if you wear a black suit, shirt and tie with red shoes, it is nicer to wear a black belt than to wear the same red belt. It is more stylish to let go of the colour only for the shoes, but wearing a red belt will make you look a bit like you are trying too hard.

Basically, there are two things to keep in mind when choosing the buckle of your choice.
Colour: Buckle colours include chrome silver, antique silver, chrome black, gunmetalic, hair lane silver, gold and antique gold.
The belt should not contrast too much with the strap colour for a good impression. In the summer season, some combinations are better in contrast.
Be aware that the belt is not the star of the show, but a supporting keystone.
Volume: the buckle can make an impression not only by its colour, but also by its size and length. Choose a buckle that suits your style and is well balanced.
