When and how to wear the black waistband
• With a formal suit: A must-have with a black, marl grey or navy blue suit, provided you wear black shoes. The buckle should be understated and discreet (ideally combining with accessories such as a watch or cufflinks).
• In a professional setting: Perfect for important meetings, interviews or presentations with suit trousers, dark chinos or dark raw denim jeans.
• For a casual look: It combines very well with raw denim jeans, black jeans (for a monochrome style) or a leather jacket. In this more casual setting, a different texture or a modern buckle is an option.
The golden rule to follow
• Colour coordination: Match the waistband to the colour of your shoes (black with black shoes). Avoid pairing black leather with brown shoes
