    How much attention do you put into your belts?
    Do you change them depending on what you're wearing or is it basically the same leather belt for every outfit?

    I use belts as a fashion accessory. I don't wear them often but when I do I like it to be a statement belt, some of these include an animal print belt, a wider soft leather belt or a gold metallic belt. I like how the belts can define your shape and give your outfit a little bit of visual interest. My boyfriend has three leather belts and only really switches belts if he is wearing a suit or dress pants instead of jeans.

    I use belts for practicality more than for fashion. This also means that I only wore them when my pants are really lose and needs a belt to hold it. I don't fancy those belts that have the huge belt buckle that is supposed to make people look cool. I find them really uncomfortable to wear especially while sitting. I only have one belt in the entire house which I'm going to use until it breaks.

    I like my belts simple.

    Usually I buy cheap, plain-looking beige leather belts because they go well with anything I wear and like daimashin I only use a belt when the pants I'm in are not tight enough to fit. But I hardly ever go shopping for belts because since the ones I have are used only occasionally I have a firm belief they'll last more than 10 years.
    They're the same color. It wouldn't make a difference.

    Just noticed I didn't answer myself, I'm pretty much like Denis and Daimashin as well, I have two belts, a brown leather one and a thinner black leather one as well, I always use them, it just depends on the outfit, but I'll wear them until they're falling apart :)

    Belts for me serve for two purposes, to hold my pants up if they are too lose, or to emphasize my waist if I want to when wearing a dress or shirt. If it's just to hold my pants up I couldn't care less how the belt look! It will probably be covered by my shirt anyway. But if it's a belt to go around my waist I try to get cute and flattering ones that go well with the rest of the outfit.

    I have 2 belts, one for my cargo shorts and another for my jeans. Both are made of canvas, one being black and the other grayish. I don't really care what kind of belt I wear since my t-shirt always covers the belt completely, rendering it invisible for anyone but me. When I have to wear dress pants, I use a leather belt. I've recently bought a new one but I need to make another hole in it, because it is too big for my thin waist.

    I love belts, they are so pretty and flashy. However, I can't wear them. I look so weird in them because I have such a short torso. I just look weird, not sure why. But always has. My hubby has a belt. It is leather and has a big belt buckle that his grandfather gave him. I call it his cowboy belt.

    It has been a long time since I have worn a belt, because I have gained weight nowadays, but when I used to wear one I didn't really wear them for fashion purposes, I wore them because my jeans were loose, so it was the same belt for every outfit.
