Belts are more than just practical accessories—they're also a great way to add flair to any outfit. However, figuring out the correct belt size can be tricky, as it doesn't always match your pants or dress size. If you're wondering, "What size belt do I need?" here's how to determine the right size.
Belt Sizes for Men and Women
Finding the right belt size for men is relatively simple. Simply take your pants waist size and add two inches. For example, if your waist size is 38, your belt size would be 40.
Another way to find your belt size is by measuring a belt that already fits well. Use a soft tape measure to measure from the top of the belt (excluding the buckle) to the hole you use most often. Round up to the nearest even inch to get your belt size.
Note: We offer custom-sized belts for a more personalized fit. Reach out to us with your waist measurement and pants size to order a custom-sized belt.

- Pants size 30 → Belt size 32
- Pants size 32 → Belt size 34
- Pants size 34 → Belt size 36

- Pants size 44 → Belt size 46
- Pants size 46 → Belt size 48
Measuring Belt Size with a Tape Measure
If you don't know your pant size, you can also determine your belt size with a tape measure:
- Wear a pair of well-fitting pants and stand comfortably.
- Thread a soft tape measure through the belt loops, ensuring it’s snug but not too tight.
- Record the measurement, rounding up to the nearest even inch. This will be your belt size.
Remember, your belt size might differ depending on where you plan to wear it on your torso. If you want a belt that sits higher on your waist, measure that area instead.
Knowing your correct belt size can be a style game-changer! With a perfectly fitting belt, you can avoid the hassle of excess material or discomfort from a belt that's too tight, making it an effortless way to complete any look with a touch of polish.
