We're all familiar with the traditional black leather belt, which goes very well with any style of men's clothing. But what if we tried a little outside the box, with colorful belts, fabric belts or belts with big buckles, to avoid the classic style and go for a rock look. Enter the IKKS men's belt collection and discover which types of belts might make you fall in love.

What are the different styles of belts offered by IKKS?

The belt is the essential accessory of your dressing room. The belt is indeed an essential accessory for several reasons but above all to hold your pants in place by exerting sufficient pressure. The belt signals your style according to the clothes you wear and more specifically your pants. Here are the different belt styles that will go with your men's pants.

Leather belt

The leather belt is the essence of the men's belt. Leather is a noble, robust material that comes in many colors and patterns. The brown leather belt offers a casual, natural look for your everyday outfit. Brown belts can also enhance a more classic business suit. The leather of the belt can also be thicker and therefore more robust. This means you can keep your men's leather belt longer. The belt can also be coated to give it a shiny look. This shiny belt is ideal for evening wear. Many belts are also available in nubuck. This is a polished and brushed leather that gives it a velvety, textured appearance. It goes very well with all men's canvas pants.

The braided fabric belt for men

The fabric belt for men is often offered twisted. Long relegated to oblivion, the braided belt is back in form with trendy offbeat designs. Braided fabric belts are ideal with chino pants. Choose a colorful braided belt to set your style apart. Elastic braided belts are perfect for keeping over time. The braiding on men's belts is reminiscent of local craftsmanship and offers a bohemian touch to your look.

Large buckle belts

The buckle on belts is also something to consider. While most men's belts feature a barb buckle-style closure, some will prefer solid buckles to hide the barb. In this case, wear your shirt or t-shirt inside your pants. Today, there are many belts with large buckles. These are visible belts for men that make a rock'n'roll statement. Pair your big buckle belt with a black leather jacket or perfecto and you're all set.

Colorful men's belts

The colors of your belts define your style. So it's important to choose them well. A brown or lighter color is preferred in summer. Light-colored belts mean linen or chino pants. And why not pair your colorful belt with a pair of Bermuda shorts? With the belt, you give a chic edge to your summer look.

Which belt for which style?

You're probably wondering how to find the belt that will go perfectly with your style of menswear. Whether you have one particular style of clothing or several looks depending on the day, here's a quick guide to matching belts with men's clothing.

Men's belts for a casual look

If you're more of a casual, relaxed style, you're probably more likely to wear denim pants or chino or cargo-type fabric pants. To tighten these pants, opt for a braided fabric belt. You can even go as far as original braids that will bring a unique edge to your outfit.

A chic look with a men's belt

The basis of a chic look is quite simply the black leather belt. It comes in matte or glossy black or with herringbone patterns. Black belts can be thin, medium or wide. As you can see, the classic black leather belt for men is not so easy to choose. Try on different models and test which ones you feel most comfortable in. Each size or style of leather belt will offer a different effect to your style.

A belt for rock chic

If you're looking for the ultimate belt to assert your IKKS rock look, opt for a big buckle belt in black leather. Some nubuck belts are also perfect for the western adventure side. Pair your belt with black denim jeans, boots and a perfecto and you've got the total rock look you're after.

How to choose the right belt for men

You see some great belts in the IKKS men's collection but you're not sure which one will suit you. Here are some tips on how to choose the right belt for men.

Measure belt size correctly

The first thing to do is measure the length of your men's belt. To get the best-fitting belt, you need to be able to close it at the third hole out of the six. So, first of all, you need to measure your waist size so as not to make a mistake when choosing your belt. To do this, multiply your French trouser waist size by two and add five. For example, if you're a size 40, multiply by two: 80 + 5 = 85. Your belt size is therefore size 85.

Defining belt thickness

What we often forget when we want to buy a nice belt for men is its thickness. Belts vary in width depending on the model. A wide men's belt is ideal for tall men. It emphasizes the silhouette by being horizontal. Shorter men, on the other hand, can opt for a slim belt. Slim belts are also very elegant with a three-piece suit.

A men's belt style for an IKKS look

IKKS selects for you quality men's belts that meet your desires for trendy looks. IKKS belts are in line with all IKKS menswear collections. They offer rock chic style for all occasions. Vary the colors, buckles and materials to change your style day after day. Don't limit yourself to the simple, medium-sized black leather belt. If it's a must-have belt, take advantage of the wide range of men's belts to select original or discreet models that underline your style and personality.
