I don't own a belt. How do I measure my belt size?Updated 4 months ago

Measure yourself wherever you plan to wear your vintage belt (i.e. hips, waist). Belt sizing is flexible. If your ideal belt measurement is 34 inches, a belt in the 32-38 inch size range will work.

For jeans, we recommend putting on your favorite pair and weaving a soft measuring tape through the belt loops. Where the belt would normally buckle (usually at the button closure) is your measurement. Stylist tip: A belt for high waisted jeans will always be smaller than a belt for low rise jeans.

Plan on wearing over dresses or oversize sweaters? Loosely wrap a measuring tape around your natural waist (or wherever you want your belt to sit). That’s your measurement. Stylist tip: A belt for a dress will always be smaller than a belt for your jeans.
