Women’s leather belts serve a purpose beyond practicality — style! A good belt not only adds an extra touch to your outfit but also helps define your silhouette. This year, we’ve seen belts take centre stage as the star accessory on the world’s top catwalks. And we thought it was about 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 your favourite style — and it’ll last for years! Remember, a high-quality accessory might seem a bit more expensive at first, but in the long run, it’s not. Plus, the quality of the materials is obvious — good leather simply can’t be compared to a PU belt.
- Leather is much more robust and far less likely to crack or break than other materials. As such, a leather belt will be more resistant to the passage of time and external factors like extreme cold or heat, thanks to its breathability and thermal insulation.
- Over time, your belt will look better and better. That’s because leather has the wonderful ability to develop its own unique character with wear. No two leather accessories are ever the same.
- It adapts to your curves. Leather, warmed by your body heat, easily moulds to your shape without losing structure. That makes it far more comfortable than a faux leather or plastic belt.
Therefore, buying a belt made from leather is a smart investment. It’s a piece where quality truly matters more than quantity.
When you think of this accessory, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the classic black belt or the rustic brown one. But we encourage you to try out other colours — we promise they’ll be super easy to mix and match.
The best leather belts to wear with jeans
Leather is the go-to material for crafting our favourite accessories, and jeans are the perfect garment to pair with this type of piece. When you think of belts, your mind probably jumps to the classic black or brown leather belt. But we encourage you to explore other shades, which — just like these — will be incredibly easy to style. You’ll have the perfect accessory to elevate your look.
At Monpiel, we’ve created the ideal model. With a buckle also covered in leather, it’s incredibly easy to match — no need to worry about coordinating with silver, gold, or other metallic tones.

A true classic: the women’s brown leather belt
The women’s brown leather belt is one of our best-sellers because it goes with everything! For years now, mix and match has been in fashion — and it works beautifully even when pairing it with other leather accessories in different colours.
For example, imagine you’re wearing some nude ballet flats — a leather belt would be the perfect match. It’s no longer about wearing the same leather colour for all your accessories, but about mixing tones to create a harmonious and attractive palette. The accessory combinations you can create with your women’s brown leather belt are endless. A great idea is to play around with different buckles, leather textures...
Our new double-buckle design plays with this balance between versatility and sophistication, making it a piece you can wear with tailored trousers or your favourite pair of jeans. And we all know a wide brown belt always looks good — whether with jeans, a dress, or a suit, it’s a guaranteed win.

The minimalist of the family: the women’s white leather belt
White, the most neutral and versatile colour after black, is also on trend. Whether your wardrobe is full of bright tones or mostly made up of black, a white leather belt is a must-have — especially when paired with quality leather sandals and a good leather bag. It’s the perfect accessory to achieve that effortlessly chic minimalist effect. It will be the ultimate wardrobe essential! You can go for an Italian-style design to achieve a sophisticated look. Another option is a total white look, embracing the Parisian chic trend. You can wear it with more relaxed pieces like flared jeans, chinos, or even a boho dress for a casual touch.
The must-have: the women’s black leather belt
The black leather belt is the best-selling model — and with good reason: it’s essential. One must appreciate the sobriety and elegance of black. It’s a belt colour that should never be missing from your wardrobe.
The women’s black belt needs no instructions or explanations. Just wear it with whatever you like! Flared, slouchy, cropped, wide-leg jeans… with blouses, a tailored suit, a midi or mini dress, shorts, skirts… the styling options are endless. And of course, whatever style you choose, it should always be of quality. This black leather belt is a wardrobe staple for life — made to accompany you through many years and many adventures.
The boldest of the basics
The knot leather belt is love at first sight. Simple yet bold, it’s crafted from a single piece, allowing you to play with its position thanks to its versatility. We call it bold because of its uniquely original fastening — you can tie it however you like. It looks fantastic with blazers or suits for a more polished look, or even with your favourite jeans for a casual touch. Best of all, this knot belt comes in one size.

Thickness: women’s wide leather belt
Image consultants have countless rules about how to wear these belts depending on your body shape. But our advice is simple: wear it however you like! Celebrate your body, your curves, your height — and don’t let “fashion rules” limit how you use this fun and versatile accessory.
Personally, I love wearing a good wide leather belt when I’m wearing a very loose or oversized piece and want to highlight my waist.
For example, with straight-cut coats — plus, the mix of wool fabric and leather looks great — or with a flowy dress, it’s always a winning choice. Here’s another tip: don’t tighten it too much. Sometimes we think the tighter it is, the smaller our waist will look, but that’s not really true. If it’s too tight, it can create a “balloon” effect. Ideally, wear it snug but not overly tight. It’ll look better and feel much more comfortable — so it’s a total win-win ;)

Caring for your women’s leather belt
It’s clear that women’s leather belts are a timeless classic that never go out of style. At Monpiel, we design and craft leather products of the highest quality — but to make them last even longer, they require proper care. How you store, maintain and clean your belt 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 to save space.
