The color of the trouser belt must be classic: brown, black, gray.

For jeans fit any color: light green, red, purple, red. The saturation of the tone is directly proportional to the effect and exclusivity of the image.

Red color is especially popular now. It looks very vintage and gives brightness to the created image. This color is matched with blue and blue jeans.

Trouser belts require some care.

From constant wear such a product can be deformed. To prevent this from happening, he needs to “rest” from time to time: you should let him hang or lie down for a while.

Reviews depend on the models being purchased.

The combination of affordable cost and high quality is considered positive.

Expensive brand models with high quality, modern design, durability, have a high cost.

It is noted that the modern market provides a fairly wide range of products.

Low-cost models often unstuck, the polymer coating is cracking, the plastic components of the automatic buckle break. Products made of pigskin are significantly stretched and deformed.
