The golden rule of traditional belt sizing and styling dictates that you should buy a belt that is two sizes larger than your standard trouser waist size, or roughly 2 inches longer than your pant measurement. For example, if you wear a size 32 trouser, you should purchase a size 34 belt to ensure the prong fastens comfortably into the middle hole, leaving enough tail end to slide neatly through the first belt loop. Stylistically, another classic rule is that your belt leather should closely match the color of your shoes (e.g., brown shoes with a brown belt, black shoes with a black belt) for formal and business attire. You can verify these timeless tailoring guidelines through classic menswear styling handbooks.
