Fort Belvedere Charcoal Brown Leather Belt

About this product

Ebony Elegance An Elevated Hue Ebony is one of the most exciting colors in menswear today, effortlessly blending the refined dignity of a black shoe with the versatility and personality of a dark brown shoe. As suitable during the white collar office lunch hour as the before-dinner cocktail hour, it can be dressed up or down but always conveys a sense of gravity and decorum.

We have termed our shade of ebony charcoal brown because it has a more prominent darker element, lending it additional formality and refinement. We opted for this shade because while you can always dress a shoe down, it is more difficult to dress it up so the darker tone actually renders this belt more versatile.

To further emphasize the formal appearance of this belt, we also opted to employ tone-on-tone stitching for a consistent, understated look. Pairing Belts & Shoes When pairing a charcoal brown belt with leather dress shoes, there are a few key points to keep in mind to ensure a polished look.

While this shade of charcoal brown is versatile, it could appear jarring with overly light leathers, unless you favor a very casual appearance. Accordingly, avoid wearing this belt with black shoes, as the look can appear muddy. Especially on formal occasions, consider also the finish of your shoes.

This belt has a very even, smooth finish that is generally dressier, and will look best when paired with similar shoes. When at a formal event, stick to classic styles like oxfords or derbies in charcoal brown. For more casual settings, loafers or brogues can add a stylish touch.

Don't Forget The Buckle! Thanks to its dark tones this belt will appear striking when worn with silver or gold buckle hardware. Therefore, we suggest investing in buckles with both lusters so that you can easily coordinate your buckle with other metals like your watch or jewelry.
