After reading the comments I felt like I should mention that many of my belts are basic black and brown leather belts 1- 1.5 inches wide, and although I do often need them for fit I feel that even wearing a basic belt still adds to the outfits look. I’m not big on skinny belts or any fancy buckles just something to slightly break up the outfit and basic belts aren’t so expensive so I can splurge and buy a few
@anne
That’s great you finally want to add belts to your wardrobe, I think every girl should have at least one basic black and brown leather belt in their closet and they would go great with some of your pants and jeans you recently posted letting the belt be visible in the loops, let us know what you find to buy
@Bijou
Do you own any belts for fit, even basic leather belts can look fantastic with an outfit.
@Liesbeth
If I recall correctly you just posted a topic recently wearing belts in your belt loops and they looked and fit great on you, visually it looked nice so maybe you’ll wear them more often knowing this
@Fashintern
Aww you are making me blush Thank you for sweet comment about my belt collection and that it inspires you to buy more I honestly don’t think the buckles on mine are fancy they are all basic belts from various stores like Target, H&M, Gap, and American Eagle. fancy to me would be cowboy style or expensive brands like Hermès but I don’t wear those kinds of buckles. But the buckles of mine to me are visually appealing and the simple look means they match almost anything.
I think a chestnut brown would look good on you and black, both basic colors always match.
That link is most helpful for belts that don’t fit!

I remember you having some nice leather belts with your jeans and I think those would match any rise jean you still wear. I’m still keeping a few low rise jeans that I couldn’t part with and like how they look and feel still, you never know they might be back in style soon and I think you had the body shape and style to make them look good so maybe you might wear them again? It’s frustrating when jeans don’t fit right, if they are falling off to the point you must tightly cinch that isn’t good. Some of my jeans fit with no belt but my issue is them slightly stretching with wear over the day so a belt holds in place but not to the point is ruins the waistline look or tight cinch. Perhaps you might need to down a size in the waist.
I actually found higher waisted jeans fit looser on me than low rise as my waist is the smallest part on me and hips are my widest so low rise worked better but high rise and tucking plus a belt fixes that for me.
@Molly Mac
Do share some pictures of your belts here id love to see your collection!
@Beth Ann
There’s nothing worse than plumbers crack or constantly yanking up your jeans uggh. You should add a least one basic black and brown leather belt to your wardrobe, 1-1.5 inches wide strap. I love the effect tucking to show the buckle off has to enhance the outfit as well as it helping for fit.
Have you posted your outfits including.high waisted jeans tucked with a belt here, maybe extra eyes here can help and it doesn’t look bad on you after all!
@MsMaven
Definitely get yourself a basic black and brown leather belt that has a strap 1-1.5 inches wide. This will hold your jeans in place and it’s what I use. Any clothing store has them like Walmart and Target or Old Navy if you don’t want to pay much for one, or buy from your favorite brand store Tucking or half tuck will help with jean fit and show off the pretty belt
@hereforthecake
Same here what you do, what belts do you own?
@DonnaF
Love your belt collection and style and I too find belts comfortable and barely feel I’m wearing one
