Pretty self explanatory really…

Can anyone suggest a good black leather belt to be worn with a suit? Don't need anything amazing and don't want to fork out much either, under £50 would be ideal.

Just wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations, in particular regarding quality.

Thanks!

I got a thin plain black one from Gap that does the job and it was only £20.

TK Maxx is excellent for belts an cheap too. You'll may no more than £15.

If you are ever in Bicester, Mulberry and Calvin Klein usually have a decent selection too.

Thanks for the tip russ74, the price of those agnes b ones are really tempting. How is the quality of the leather? And are the sizes standard? Been looking at some Paul Smith ones but I think for half the price I might go with an agnes one.

Also, I did think about just getting a standard one from the high street, but haven't really seen one which I like enough to pay more than a tenner for to be honest. Some ok ones from Gap, but all seem a bit casual to me.

good quality for the price, and i'd say they fit pretty big, bigger than dior anyway i'm sure there's a size guide on the site

I have an Agnes B one, worn it quite a bit since I got it back in April last year from the Agnes B store in NY. I'd say the leather is pretty good for the price, no complaints here.

I have one almost identical to that one. POP boutique/ any other decent vintage shop should have something similar.

Uniqlo have nice simple belts.

For cheapness, Matalan Oops have genuine italian leather belts for £5 in black or brown. They look better than Topmans Italian leather rubbish costing 3x as much.
