A BELT MIGHT not be the most exciting thing in your wardrobe, but you always notice it at the last minute when you don’t have a good one. I’ve been there: I’m wearing my favorite chinos or dress pants, then I realize my belt is either too beat-up or clashes with my fit. Surprisingly enough, Amazon has a solid selection of men’s belts, from sleek leather styles to stretchy woven options you can wear on the weekend or to the golf course. I’ve gathered a bunch of belts to match your fly and your budget. Not to mention, the online retailer can ship these essential staples at the speed of lightning.

Best Belts on Amazon

Leather Belt
$45AmazonAlso Consider

Pros

  • Minimal, clean look that easily pairs with everything
  • Soft and durable leather
  • Great for the office or golf

Cons

  • Should be kept away from water

Amazon offers more belts than I count, but this leather one from Fossil looks sharp with everything. It has a minimal, clean look without any extra bells and whistles that make some feel too loud. I’ve paired it with a suit for a cocktail reception as well as a polo and chinos for a simple office fit. The leather material is soft and durable, so it’ll remain in tip-top shape no matter how much you wear it or toss it around your place after the day is over.

Braided Leather Belt

Pros

  • Braided detail adds visual interest to a simple outfit
  • Able to fasten the buckle anywhere in the weave
  • Comes in a number of colors

Cons

  • Runs small, so go up two inches larger in pant size

Compared to the simple leather types, braided belts give an otherwise simple outfit some visual interest versus being too flashy. That’s why I love this version from Dockers. I can wear a clean button-up with dress pants, but the second I put on this belt, my look no longer feels plain. What’s also special about this kind of belt is that you can fasten the buckle almost anywhere through the weave design opposed to fixed holes, so the fit is more adjustable. Plus, it comes in a number of colors including black, tan, and wine. Just note: this belt runs small, so I recommend going up two inches larger than your pant waist size.

Reversible Belt Black/Brown

Pros

  • Double-sided offers a black and brown strap
  • Pairs with a suit and dress shoes
  • Great for formal occasions

Cons

  • Size up two inches larger than your pant size

You almost get two belts in one with a reversible design, which means double the styling opportunities. Tommy Hilfiger’s option has a black strap that coordinates well with more formal looks like a suit and the tan strap that goes better with a casual vibe, think a t-shirt tucked in jeans. You can easily flip the buckle on either side by pulling at the hinge and rotating it until locked back in place. Like Dockers’ belt, this one requires you to select a size up two inches larger than your pants size.

Reversible Dress Leather Belt

Pros

  • Under $20
  • Works with dressy attire or golf
  • Reversible design lets you mix and match

Cons

  • Wouldn't wear with jeans

Steve Madden’s bonded-leather belt gives you a dressy, reversible option for under $20. The clean look works especially well with dress pants and suits, while the black-and-brown reversible design lets you match it with both colors of dress shoes. It has a sleek finish and understated buckle that won’t compete with the rest of your outfit.

Harness Buckle Belt

Pros

  • Made with durable cow leather that'll last for years to come
  • Versatile enough to dress up or down
  • Subtle matte-shine finish that looks rich

Cons

  • Might be a little costly for some

Coach’s harness buckle belt is a quieter take on the fashion label’s signature style. Made from cow leather with a subtle matte-shine finish, it’s detailed with a single signature C rather than covered in the monogram you’ll find on some of the brand’s other accessories. The understated design makes it surprisingly versatile, so you can dress it up with a suit or wear it casually with jeans.

On Sale
Stretch Woven Belt
Now 25% Off

Pros

  • Braided fabric has flecks of contrasting colors
  • Stretchy, comfortable fit
  • Swoosh logo laser-engraved for neat touch

Cons

  • Not for the dressiest occasions

Nike’s stretch woven belt is the one I’d grab for a weekend at the golf course. The braided fabric has subtle flecks of contrasting color that give it a sporty, textured look. Thanks to the stretchy blend of polypropylene, rubber, and leather, it flexes with you through every swing without any tightness. The brand also added the Swoosh logo on the gunmetal harness buckle for a sleek finishing touch. Amazon offers it in several color options that play well with any pair of golf pants.

Casual Classic Everyday Leather Belt

Pros

  • Made with soft, genuine leather
  • Sturdy construction
  • Develops a unique patina over time

Cons

  • Order one size larger for best fit

When the vibe is casual but you still want to appear like you put some effort into your fit, I recommend this belt from Timberland. It’s made from genuine leather with a soft, smooth feel and rough, fibrous cut edges. The sturdy construction gives it some heft without weighing you down. It’s not as durable as top-grain leather, but it will last long and develop a patina over time. This style looks great with work pants and jeans but might be too relaxed for dressier attire. Just order one size larger than your usual pant size for the best fit.
