What is an animal print belt?

An animal print belt is a leather or faux leather belt whose surface shows an animal motif. This can be an embossed or printed print, but also a relief that imitates the structure of an animal skin — think of the scales of a snake or the spotted pattern of a leopard. The most common prints are leopard print, snake print, crocodile print and zebra print. Widths usually vary from 2.5 cm for narrow models to 4 cm for wider variants. Colors range from natural and cognac to black, white and sometimes bright shades. The buckle is often finished in gold or silver color, which has an influence on how the belt combines with other accessories. Animal print belts are worn with both casual and smart outfits, depending on the width and the material. Want to know more about the background of this trend?

What to pay attention to when choosing an animal print belt?

Size: Always use the size chart. A belt that is too big or too small will not fit well and will wear out faster.

Width: A narrow belt of 2.5 to 3 cm easily combines with trousers with narrow loops or a dress. A wider belt of 3.5 to 4 cm you wear with jeans or as a hip belt.

Print: Leopard print easily combines with neutral colors such as beige, black and camel. Snake print stands out nicely with plain, dark clothing. Zebra print gives contrast to monochrome outfits.

Buckle color: A gold-colored buckle matches warm tones in the print, such as cognac and brown. Silver easily combines with cooler colors and black belts.

Material: Genuine leather is more durable and develops its own patina with use. Faux leather is lighter in weight and often cheaper, but less resistant to long-term use.

Purpose: If you wear the belt with a casual outfit, then a wider version is a logical choice. With smart trousers or a skirt you generally choose a narrower width.

Popular versions of animal print belts

Within the range of animal print belts, there are clear categories that each have a different use. Women's jeans belts with animal print are usually 3 to 4 cm wide and have sturdy buckles that hold up well with daily use. Wide women's belts with animal print are also worn as a hip belt and change the silhouette of what you wear. Narrow variants are suitable for a skirt or dress, where a wide belt looks too heavy. The choice between these versions depends on the width of the loops of your trousers and the purpose for which you wear the belt.
