Fact #1. For as long as human beings have been wearing clothing, we've been wearing some manner of belt. The earliest known belts still identifiable today date back to the Bronze Age. Early belts tended to be simple and utilitarian in nature. They were designed to cinch clothing and help keep the wearer warm and protected against the elements.
Fact #2. For many groups of people around the world, the belt took on a ceremonial role, became a status symbol, or did both. Many Roman Legionnaires wore ornate belts with lavishly-carved metal buckles. They were often draped with strips of tough leather that was both decorative and protective.
Fact #3. In today's world, a man's belt can dress up or dress down an outfit. It can add a casual air to a pair of slacks or bring some refined grace to blue jeans. The fact is that no man should own just one belt. A man needs to own at least two dress belts because of one of the most basic issues of the fashion world, the black or brown quandary.
Fact #4. Basic men's fashion dictates that your shoes and belt should match or complement one another. That means a brown belt goes with brown shoes, and a black belt with black shoes. But your belt and pants also work together. A black belt and khaki pants, for example, is generally unacceptable.
Fact #5. Men simply don't have as many options for sartorial expression as women. There's no real option for a man to wear much beyond long pants or shorts. Most men also wear minimal jewelry, if any at all. They tend to accessorize their outfits only with a wristwatch and, at times, tie or scarf or some other individual item. Therefore, a man's belt can serve as one of his only outlets for personal expression.
