  • 1. Measuring an Existing Belt

    Find a belt that fits. Take a belt that fits well – either one that you already have or go to a clothing store and try on belts until you find one that fits the way you want it to. Generally, a belt fits you well when you can easily buckle it using the third hole in the belt.

    If you have to use the 4th or 5th hole, you'll have a lot of extra at the end of the belt
    If you're using the first hole, the belt is a little too small and the end of the belt might not make it all the way to the belt loop on your pants
    Be sure to wear pants that fit you well so that you can get an accurate idea about what size belt  you need if you’re trying on a variety of belts.

    2. Spread the belt out flat.

    Put the belt on a flat surface like a table or on the floor. Lay it down so that the belt is completely flat and doesn’t have any bumps sticking out. Make sure the belt is fully extended and doesn’t have any slack.
    If the belt doesn’t want to stay flat (because of overuse, for example), you can place a heavy object on both ends of the belt to keep it stationary.

    3. Measure the belt.
    Grab a retractable measuring tape or a fabric measuring tape. Measure from the base of the

    Buckle prong to the center hole. If you don’t use the center hole, measure from the base of the buckle prong to the hole you use the most.
    This number will probably range between 32 inches (81 cm) and 50 inches (127 cm), depending on your waist size.

    4. Use the measurement that you found to order a belt.
    The number (in inches) that you found for the measurement of the belt will be the size you use for ordering your new belt. For example, if the measurement number is 34 inches (86 cm), order a size 34 belt.
    * If you are using the last hole on a belt, consider moving up a belt size (in this example, to a 36) so that there is room to adjust the belt in the future. A correctly fitted belt is usually sized to the center hole.
    * If you are using the first hole on the belt, consider moving down a belt size to a 32.
