Designer belts

Leather belts with silver and brass hardware from Chrome Hearts, Goyard, Molebo and more.

Designer belts here run from Chrome Hearts silver buckles on black leather to Molebo's leopard print belts and Off-White's yellow industrial strap. A belt shows where a top meets trousers, so match the buckle to the other metal you wear: silver with silver rings, brass with gold.

Chrome Hearts began in Los Angeles in the late eighties, making leather gear and silver jewellery for motorcycle riders, and its belts pair heavy leather with silver buckles. Molebo makes its belts in Denmark from full grain leather, some in printed cow hair. Off-White, Virgil Abloh's label, made the yellow industrial belt one of its signatures.

Wear a slim leather belt with tailored trousers and a wider one with jeans. Due West in Toronto carries Molebo, COOR and Carne Bollente belts, and Utopia brings Chrome Hearts, Goyard and Off-White, with belt bags from Prada and Dior.

Common questions

How do you match a belt to your shoes?

Match the leather: a black belt with black shoes, a brown belt with brown shoes. Then match the buckle to your other metal, such as silver with silver jewellery.

What width of belt should you wear?

A narrow belt fits the loops of tailored trousers, and a wider one suits jeans and chinos. Check the loops of the trousers you wear most before you buy.

Which designers make belts with silver buckles?

Chrome Hearts casts its buckles in sterling silver, from the oval buckle to the double roller. Molebo and COOR make plainer leather belts for every day.
