Women's leather belts serve a purpose beyond practicality — aesthetics!

A good belt not only adds an extra touch to your look, but also helps define your silhouette. This year, we’ve seen belts become the standout accessory on the most important runways in the world. And we thought it was time to dedicate an entire post to the most versatile accessory of all: the women’s leather belt.

How to choose the perfect women's leather belt

The right leather belt will help you complete the style you like and will last for years.

Remember that a good-quality accessory may seem a bit more expensive at first, but in the long run it is not. Plus, the quality of the materials shows — good leather cannot be compared with a PU belt.

A leather belt will be more resistant over time and will look a little better every day. And it withstands external factors such as extreme cold or heat thanks to its breathability and thermal insulation.

Therefore, buying a belt made of leather is a smart investment. It is a piece where quality prevails over quantity. We encourage you to try colours beyond the classic black or brown.

We promise it will be super easy to match!

The best leather belts to wear with jeans

Leather is the fabric par excellence for crafting our favourite accessories, and jeans are the perfect garment to pair with this type of accessory. When you think of this complement, the first thing that comes to mind is the classic black belt or the brown leather belt. But we encourage you to explore other colours that, just like these, will be super easy to match. You will have the right accessory to elevate your look.

At Monpiel, we bring you the ideal model. With a buckle also covered in leather, it is very easy to combine because you don’t have to worry about whether your accessories are silver, gold…

A timeless classic: the brown women's belt

The brown women's leather belt is one of the best sellers because it goes with everything. For years, the mix-and-match trend has been popular, and it looks great even when paired with other leather accessories in different colours.

For example, let’s say you’re wearing nude ballet flats; a leather belt will look perfect. It’s no longer about using the same leather colour in all your accessories, but about combining shades to create a harmonious and attractive palette. There are countless accessory combinations you can achieve with your brown women's leather belt. A good idea here is to play with buckle combinations, leather texture…

Our new double-buckle model blends versatility and sophistication, making it a piece you can wear with tailored trousers or your favourite jeans. And we all know that a wide brown belt always looks good — no matter what you pair it with: jeans, a dress, a suit… it’s always a safe choice.

The essential: the black women's leather belt

The black leather belt is the best-selling one, and there’s a reason for it: it’s essential. You must appreciate the sobriety and elegance of black. It’s a belt colour that cannot be missing from your wardrobe.

The women’s black belt needs no manual or explanation. Wear it with anything you like! Flared, slouchy, cropped, wide-leg jeans… blouses, a tailored suit look, a midi or short dress, shorts, skirts… the possibilities are endless.

In this case, it goes without saying that whatever your choice is, it must be high quality. This black leather belt is a lifelong essential. The goal is for it to accompany you for many years and many adventures.

The boldest of the basics

The knot leather belt is love at first sight. Simple yet bold, it is designed in a single piece, allowing you to play with its position thanks to its versatility.

We say it’s bold because it has a very original closure — you can tie the knot however you like. It looks great paired with blazers, suits for a more elegant look, or even something more casual combined with your favourite jeans.

Best of all, this knot belt comes in one size.

Thickness: wide women's belt

Image consultants have countless rules about how to use these belts depending on your body shape. Our advice: wear it however you want! Celebrate your body, your curves, your height, and don’t let “fashion rules” limit how you use this versatile and fun accessory.

Personally, I love wearing a good wide leather belt when I have a very loose or oversized garment and I want to define my waist.

For example, with straight coats — the combination of wool fabric and leather is perfect — and with a flowy dress, it’s always a great choice. Here’s another tip: don’t cinch it too tightly. We sometimes think that the tighter it is, the smaller it will make our waist look, but that’s not really the case. If it’s too tight, it creates a “balloon” effect. Ideally, wear it fitted but not overly tight. Not only does it look better, it’s also much more comfortable — a win win ;)

Care for women's leather belts

We now know that women's leather belts are a timeless classic that never goes out of style. Monpiel designs and crafts high-quality leather products, but to make them last even longer, you must take care of them — how you store, maintain, and clean them is very important.

Did you know that belts should be stored flat? Never store your leather belts rolled up. You can hang them all on a hanger so they take up little space.
