What do you mean by "Hermes belts"? There are so many styles, from conservative to trendy, that you are bound to find a style that suits him.

If you mean the belt with a H buckle, I understand that it is not for everyone. I do think that it looks too much on me and I prefer the more conservative designs personally (the Gentle, the Cape Cod, the Etriviere, the H Rouleau, etc...). The Quizz H buckle in dark blue lacquer is the only H buckle that I manage to wear confidently (because it blends in with my dark jeans). I am familiar with the SF tech crowd, and I think that I would go with a more understated design.

Thanks for your opinion. I’ll take a look at the other belts you’ve mentioned.

I don’t think the H belts are masculine enough for guys. Not a fan at all as it seems slightly feminine like why are you wearing Hilary or Heather’s belt charm around your waist? Overall the ubiquity of Hermès belts makes me want to just give mine away. Lol...But that’s just me...

Hermes offers a variety of belts for men of every taste. They have some that look like a very "standard" belt from any brand (with a few small details to keep them interesting and uniquely Hermes).

Here are three of their more "standard" belts which would suit a lot of guys.

I like the third one! That one is a little bit more dressy though right? Could it be worn with jeans?

I would just ask your husband if he likes a certain style (the one you were thinking of). If he’s not into it, you can spend the money on a belt for yourself instead. I’ve seen an H belt on a stylish guy (person on the street) worn with jeans and sneakers, and it looked great. But you have to be able to pull it off. For me, I’m not that into H belts (but like other buckles).

My husband has no opinion when it comes to clothes. He thinks it’s a waste of time and he’d rather spend his time and energy reading on tech/work stuff. After we got married, somehow part of my job duties included shopping for him and dressing him [emoji85]

As long as he doesnt tuck the front of his tshirt in just to show the "H", i think its great. It is no different to a signature Dior, Gucci "GG" belt. The classic "H" belt from Hermes is great. I say go for it - and each belt has 2 colours, so its 2 for the price of one!

It’s weird. I like the H buckle belt, but for guys I feel like the GG and LV one screams “trying to hard” to look like I have money/spent my whole paycheck on it [emoji87]

I don't think that the classic 32mm H has got into street culture in the same way as GG and LV belts. The 42mm strap is a good width but the 42mm Constance buckle does scream in an obvious way. A lot of people wouldn't even know the significance of the H, whereas LV and GG with associated canvases are very widely recognised, desirable and faked.

That’s one of the reasons why I was more drawn to the H buckle, but I guess that is still a bit much. Tech guys who’ve made it in SF don’t really wear that “look at me” stuff.

Some tech bros sure do like to flash their money (with exotic cars for example). So it comes down to personality. A confident guy jumping out of his McLaren can pull off the H buckle.:smile:

Guess you have to think about why you wore it or someone gifted it to you in the first place,

I'm not so keen on the Constance for myself so bought Gamma, there are buckles to suit everyone. I like the constance on men though.

I am wondering what are people’s opinions about Hermes belts for males, as I’m thinking of getting one for my husband. I find that European males, gay males, and dandies wear it quite well, but what about the mediocre sense of style that is found on San Francisco tech males? Will it look too try hard if not worn properly? My best friend says Hermes belts on guys look like it’s “too much” and she would be embarrassed if her man wore it. My trainer thought of rappers when I first brought up Hermes belts for men. Just curious what everyone else thinks. TIA

That's a lot of guys, and I'm not sure what you mean.

Anyway there are plenty of fabulous belts out there without logos inlcluding H Gucci and LV, you could also find handmade, top quality belts for less e.g. Cartujano that have no designer connotations

In my area there are a variety of men who wear the constance belt without screaming "look at me." Those that look like they are trying too hard typically have an attitude to match. Your husband sounds like a normal, unassuming guy. You know him best as to whether or not this belt will suit him. Personally, I find it to be far more discrete than LV or Gucci which would stand out quite a bit amongst the tech crowd in SF. Good luck deciding!
