If black and brown already fill your closet, a blue leather belt is the easiest way to break the pattern. Navy reads almost like a second neutral, which is why it pairs with gray, black and dark denim just as easily as a traditional belt would.
We carry blue leather belts in a few depths of color, from a deep navy built for the office to a true cobalt for anyone who wants the belt to do the talking.
Navy vs. cobalt: picking your shade
- Navy: close to a neutral, works with black, gray and dark denim
- Medium blue: the most versatile option for everyday jeans
- Cobalt: a true statement color, best kept to a simple outfit
A navy blue leather belt for women pairs easily with dress pants and skirts, while a cobalt leather belt stands out as a bold accent piece.
Built for men's everyday wear
A blue leather belt for men typically comes in a wider cut, made for jeans and casual outfits. It shows up best against light or medium-wash denim, where the color has enough contrast to register without clashing.
FAQ
Can I wear a blue belt with black shoes?
Yes, especially in navy. The two read close enough in tone that it doesn't look mismatched, unlike pairing brown leather with black.
Is a cobalt belt too bright for the office?
It can be. Save cobalt for casual outfits, and keep a navy or medium blue belt on hand for anything more formal.
What's the main difference between navy and cobalt?
Navy functions almost like a black or brown belt, subtle and easy to wear daily. Cobalt is a true accent color meant to be noticed.
