SAINT LAURENT MEN’S BELT

The Saint Laurent men’s belt has become an indispensable classic. In the 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent introduced thin belts to accompany tunics inspired by the “Safari Jacket” and sharply tailored suits. Later, in the ’70s, belts with oversized buckles merged with the bohemian and transformative spirit of the Rive Gauche line. In the 1980s, their use with straight-cut suits heightened the graphic power of black, a colour the house cemented as its own visual signature.

Under Hedi Slimane’s direction in the 2000s, belts became essential to his masculine silhouette of narrow trousers and fitted jackets. Today, under Anthony Vaccarello, the Saint Laurent men’s belt reaffirms its place as a staple of the cosmopolitan male look, where leather takes centre stage: biker jackets, aviator styles, and long leather coats that consistently evoke the nocturnal and glamorous aura of Paris.

What are Saint Laurent belts like?

The belt has always been more than a purely functional accessory; it defines aesthetic proportion. For Saint Laurent, exceptional quality is a constant. Each belt is made to last and to accentuate the silhouette. The accessories line is no exception. Leathers are tanned using traditional processes. Finishes include matte and grained textures. Colours are neutral and refined, adaptable to any context. And the design is bold, timeless yet contemporary, transcending seasons and trends.

Buckles are always measured and vary between models. Some feature the Cassandre logo. Others remain strictly minimalist and classic, crafted in silver-toned metal to complement any outfit.

The role of a Saint Laurent men’s belt goes beyond holding garments in place. It also holds a stance, an elegant, private imaginary. It acts as a graphic line across the outfit, a signal of style and sophistication. A quiet marker of status that reinforces a mysterious presence.
