The belt answer that cantáte told me.
Hello.
This is Ishibashi from cliché.
What criteria do you use when choosing trousers?
Silhouette, length, material, color.
In many cases, these are probably the things you consider when choosing one.
You determine the ideal image based on your mood at the time and the balance with the tops you already own.
So what about belts?
When you stop to think about it, it is surprisingly difficult to form a clear image of the ideal belt.
“Black or brown?”
“Should the buckle be silver or gold?”
Many people probably choose one for the time being based on criteria like these.
it is certainly a subtle part, and perhaps we don’t consider it as deeply as we do trousers.
But actually,a single belt can dramatically change the impression of your trousers.。
In other words,A key piece that influences the entire stylingThat’s what I think!
So what should you use as the basis for choosing one?
Of course, the leather and buckle colors must first and foremost match your ideal look.
With that in mind, the most important factor is how well it pairs with the trousers.
A belt is ultimately an additional item.
If it makes too strong a statement, the styling loses cohesion and feels out of place.
That said, if it is too ordinary, the overall look becomes blurred and it fails to serve as an accent.
That exquisite balance is the most important point when choosing a belt.

it had been about a year since I got this belt.
Before I knew it,I’ve ended up using almost nothing but this one.
That’s how naturally it blends with any trousers.
I always wear it except when I’m wearing sweatpants or occasionally feeling like brown.
I wear this belt about 300 days out of 365.
That’s how naturally it has become part of my daily life.
Thanks to that, my own has already aged considerably, developing a rich luster and supple feel.
And that evolution makes it pair even better with trousers.
With denim, its character deepens as the color fades, while paired with slacks, its refined, dimensional elegance stands out.
So this time, I tried pairing it with several pairs of trousers from cliché.
Please take a close look at how well they pair with trousers, as well as their presence when viewed as part of the overall styling.
