    Try to match your belt to your accessories. So look for something with silver buckles if you're wearing silver jewelry.

    Wider and larger belts draw more attention to your waist, so go with one that's thinner if you don't want people looking there.

    It depends. If you are wearing long pants, you may. Do not tuck in with shorts. In a more casual setting, people won't care if your shirt is tucked, but in a more professional environment, it looks better tucked.
  • Question
    When it says measure the belt to the buckle, is that where the buckle attaches to the belt, or where the prong tip touches the buckle when inserted through the hole?
    Community Answer
    The entire belt is what you measure, including the entire buckle. If the buckle is overly large, then go from where the prong tip is inserted.
