While you may not give much consideration to a belt, it serves two key functions: it holds up your pants better than a piece of rope can, and it gives you a polished appearance that a piece of rope can't. You may have more belts than you actually wear, but you only need belts that match the colors of your shoes. 
Be Better Guys: Belt it outYour belt matches your shoes in color and material.  Leather matches leather, suede matches suede, and plastic matches plastic — just kidding

A guy needs two types of belts:
slimmer belts (about 1" wide) to wear at the office or for dressing up when going out, and thicker belts (1 1/4" or more) with bigger buckles to wear with jeans, khakis, or shorts. It can be a biker belt, D-ring buckle, braided leather, whatever you choose.

The belt should be at least two inches longer than your waistline
to fit comfortably (e.g. if you wear 34" pants, then buy a 36" belt).


Don't buy skinny belts (less than 1"). Trust us, it'll look like you picked it out of your sister's closet.

Stuffed Sausage:
David had a belt that he really liked, but wore only once a year.  The belt looked good, but David wasn't quite the same size that he was in college, so it pinched his skin and make him feel like a sausage.  After years of sucking in his breath, the belt was finally given away.  His midsection thanks him.

Be Better Guys: Green Grooming ProductsMost guys probably don’t consider the environment when they shave, but with Al Gore winning a Nobel Prize, that might have to change. Fortunately, there are green products available for men. The Body Shop has made environmentally-responsible products for years. Destination products give you green, good stuff and a geography lesson on the packaging. Another option is California North for face and hair, certified safe for animals or the environment. Look great and save a tree, or something.
