Women’s leather belts serve a purpose that goes beyond practicality — aesthetics!

A good belt not only adds an extra touch to your look, but also helps define your silhouette. This year, belts have become the standout accessory on the world’s major catwalks. And we felt 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 your preferred style and will last for years.

Remember that a high-quality accessory may seem a little more expensive at first, but in the long run it isn’t. The quality of the materials is also evident — good leather cannot be compared to a PU belt.

A leather belt will be more resistant over time and will look slightly better each day. It also 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’s a piece where quality comes before quantity. We encourage you to explore colours beyond the classic black or brown.

We promise it will be incredibly easy to style!

The best leather belts to wear with jeans

Leather is the fabric of choice for creating our favourite accessories, and jeans are the perfect garment to pair with this type of accessory. When you think of a belt, the first thing that comes to mind is the classic black belt or the brown leather belt. But we encourage you to discover other colours which, just like these, will be very easy to style. You’ll have the perfect accessory to elevate your look.

At Monpiel, we bring you the ideal model. With a buckle also covered in leather, it’s extremely easy to pair because you don’t have to worry about silver or gold tones…

A timeless classic: the brown women’s belt

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

For instance, if you’re wearing nude ballet flats, a leather belt will suit perfectly. It’s no longer about using the same leather colour across all your accessories, but rather about combining shades to create a harmonious and appealing palette. There are countless accessory combinations you can create with your brown women’s leather belt. A great idea is to experiment with different buckles, leather textures…

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 — whether with jeans, a dress, or a suit — it’s always a safe option.

The essential: the black women’s leather belt

The black leather belt is the best seller, and there’s a clear reason for it: it’s essential. You must appreciate the elegance and simplicity of black. It’s a belt colour that should never be missing from your wardrobe.

The women’s black belt needs no guide 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, it should be of high quality. This black leather belt is a lifelong essential. The aim 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 crafted from a single piece, allowing you to style it in different ways thanks to its versatility.

We describe it as bold because it features a very original closure — you can tie the knot however you choose. It looks wonderful paired with blazers, trousers suits for a more polished look, or something more casual like 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 wish! Celebrate your body, your curves, your height, and don’t let “fashion rules” restrict how you use this fun and versatile accessory.

Personally, I love wearing a good wide leather belt when I have a very loose or oversized garment and 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 brilliant choice. Here’s another tip: don’t fasten it too tightly. Sometimes we think that the tighter it is, the smaller our waist will 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. It looks better and is far more comfortable — a true win win ;)

Women’s leather belt care

We now know that women’s leather belts are a timeless classic that never goes out of fashion. Monpiel designs and creates high-quality leather products, but to ensure they last even longer, proper care is essential — how you store, maintain, and clean them matters greatly.

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