What Shoes fits to your Belt?

Do Shoes and Belts Need to Match?

The more dressy the outfit, the more the necessity that shoes and belt should match. If you are are wearing a suit, your belt and shoes should match in color AND leather finish & texture

How to Buy a Men’s Belt

♠ Dress belts should have a few inches of leather to the left of the buckle once it’s fastened. Enough to tuck under your first belt loop, or the loop on the belt if it has one, is a good rule of thumb.

♠ Leather should always match leather. That rule stays with you in dress and casual wear: brown leather shoes go with a brown leather belt, and black with black. Glossy belts should be paired with highly-polished shoes; matte shoes go with matte belts. If you’re wearing casual shoes that aren’t made of leather, you have more freedom to work with. Cloth shoes can be paired with cloth belts of a different color.
