When summer heat is beating down on you, it's definitely not leather weather. So why bother with a leather belt? A woven style, whether braided from nylon or cotton, signifies that come this time of year, things should be a little more soft and casual. Available in a range of colors, they feature leather accents at the end, antiqued buckles, and the best part—the woven texture means there's no need for belt holes. From Paul Stuart's brighter colors to more versatile shades like the matte navy and black cotton from Torino, they're available in a range of prices, so you could consider buying two: One to make a statement, and one to wear with everything else. Looks like the classic braided belt just got a modern upgrade.
