The polo belt size guide
One measurement is all it takes. Here is how to find your size for classic, skinny and children's polo belts.
Your belt size is your trouser waist size.
Every Carlos Diaz belt is measured from the end of the buckle to the middle of its seven holes. So the size is your waist, not your hips, and not the total length of the belt.
The quick answer
Your trouser size
Wear 34 inch trousers? Choose 95 cm / 34". It really is that simple.
Your dress size
Use the chart below, or measure where you like to wear your belt.
Their age
Choose by age, or by waist if your child is tall or petite for their age.

Seven holes, so there is always room for the perfect fit.
The Carlos Diaz fit
Measure a belt you already own
-
Lay it flat
Take a belt that fits you well and lay it on a table.
-
Start at the leather
Measure from where the leather meets the buckle, not from the tip of the buckle.
-
Stop at your hole
Measure to the hole you use most and choose the size closest to that number.
How to measure your belt, in one minute
No belt to measure?
Wrap a soft tape measure around your waist where you will wear the belt, over your trousers, snug but not tight. Choose the size closest to that number.
Between two sizes?
Go up. Seven holes leave plenty of room to tighten, and the extra length allows for a tucked shirt or heavier winter trousers.
Still unsure?
Send us a message with your trouser size and we will tell you exactly which belt to choose.
