Leather belts are one accessory that never feels dated. Sure, your outfit might have been stunning without one, but whether it's thin, doubled up, patent, or braided, the thoughtful detail completes nearly any ensemble. Furthermore, it can also define your shape, break up a head-to-toe pattern or color, and ensure a proper fit for your clothing, sans a trip to the tailor.
Thankfully the timeless, functional trend doesn't cost too much either. Rather, the best affordable leather belts can be found in spades. No matter if you use them to cinch your outerwear, create an hourglass silhouette, or merely accompany your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans, peruse our selection of leather belts. With every style ringing in under $50, you might even consider stocking up on a few.
