With the rise and fall of the Gucci belt and the Hermès belt being labeled “cheugy,” everyone still needs a statement belt. Depending on your style, you might prefer a more minimal look. However, there’s no shame if you want to proudly flaunt that double G or Valentino V. Here's a list of classy-looking statement belts, including some that won’t break the bank. Keep them a secret though - we don't want everyone wearing the same belt again…

1. Massimo Dutti

Made in Spain, this "Double-Long Belt Buckle" gives off the vibe of Ferragamo and Hermès but at a fair price. Best of all, it comes in brown and black leather, with the buckle available in both silver and gold. The horse-bit design exudes a quiet luxury equestrian vibe.

This "Logo Stitch Belt" has a classy appeal. Don't be fooled by the name, the logo is discreet but interesting enough to make a statement. The stitching adds a touch of luxury and craftsmanship.

3. Carolina Herrera

Not many people wear the "Initials Insignia" belt, but it is a stunning and expensive-looking belt, that does not scream a brand name. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors, from red, beige, green, and even pink, to add a pop of color to any outfit or to match your favorite leather belt or shoes.

4. Ralph Lauren

The "Padlock Leather Belt" and Turn-Lock Belt" are frequently on sale but exude nothing but richness and exquisite charm. The padlock charm adds a cute touch to the belt.

5. Amazon

Do yourself a favor and avoid buying a designer dupe belt. However, there are still a great variety of timeless and brandless belts on Amazon that are real leather! It’s hard to name something more scrumptious than a suede belt.

6. Tod’s

A quiet luxury Italian brand – "if you know, you know." The “T Timeless Belt” is a subtle and classy alternative to that Giant “H.” It provides a clean and modern look while still elevating and adding interest to any outfit.
