For example, if you buying a belt for jeans, you should add 4 inches to the size of the jeans to determine the correct size. So if your jeans size is 32 inches, you should buy a belt that is about 36 inches long. Please note that these numbers may vary depending on the style of your pants.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Belt Sizes Australia
How do I know my belt size?
To determine your belt size, you can measure your waist or hips using a flexible measuring tape. If you're measuring for a belt to wear around your waist, measure around your waist at the point where you normally wear your pants. If you're measuring for a belt to wear around your hips, measure around the widest part of your hips. Once you have your measurement in inches or centimetres, you can refer to a sizing chart provided by the brand you're interested in to find your corresponding belt size.
What size belt for a 30 waist?
When selecting your belt size, the quickest way is to add 2 inches to your pant size. For instance - we advise a size 32 belt if you wear size 30 pants, a 46 inch belt would fit a size 44 waist, a size 50 belt for a 48 waist etc. You can also use measuring tape to measure where you will wear your belt; that number is your belt size. Once the buckle is tightened, there should always be 10-20cm extra length for overlapping and/or tucking under your belt loops.
What size belt should I buy for a 32 waist?
If your waist measures 32 inches, you'll generally want to look for a belt size that is a few inches longer. Belt sizes are usually measured from the end of the buckle to the middle hole of the belt. A belt size of 34 to 36 inches would likely be a good fit for a 32-inch waist.
What size belt should I buy for a 34 waist?
For a 34-inch waist, you'll generally want a belt that is a few inches longer. A belt size of 36 to 38 inches would likely be suitable. As mentioned earlier, remember that it's always best to consult the sizing information provided by the brand you're interested in to ensure the best fit.
What size is an 80 cm belt?
An 80 cm belt is approximately equivalent to a size 31-32 in inches. Keep in mind that sizing can vary slightly between brands, so it's a good idea to consult the specific brand's sizing chart if available.
How to size a belt for a woman wearing dresses?
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist. Add 1–2 inches for comfort if using a corset or wrap belt.
What's the best belt size if I'm between two sizes?
Always size up. It’s easier to tighten a belt with extra holes than to wear a belt that’s too tight.

So many types of belts - which ones should I choose?
Belts come in so many shapes, designs and materials - we know! But don't fret, there are some ways to narrow them down. Genuine leather belts are definitely the top choice for both men and women - as nothing can beat a classic brown belt or black belt with a silver buckle made of premium quality leather that would last the longest. If you want something with a bit more characters, definitely check out the colourful thin belts that either are patented leather belts or matte leather belts.
How far should the strap protrude?
After tightening, there should always be a few centimeters of leather extruding from the belt. This should be enough to slip under your belt loop (if you have one).
Should the belt size match the pants size?
By taking the time to measure yourself and determine your belt size, you can ensure that this must-have accessory fits perfectly. Some pant manufacturers do not follow standard sizing, so we recommend measuring your waist (wearing your pant and crossing your belt loops).
Do leather belts stretch?
Leather belts stretch when worn for long periods of time. A leather belt can stretch 1 to 3 inches during its lifetime. Like all leather products, leather belts tend to grow in size over time.
Can you resize the belt?
The easiest way to shorten a belt is to cut the belt from the end with the hole, but what if you want to keep the tail? The tail is finished by cutting most belts from the buckle end.
What if your belt size is an odd number?
A general rule is to always round up to the next size to accommodate slight changes in height.
