What are the best accessories to pair with a belt for a formal outfit?
​
Right now I am going to a small clothing store with my friend and I am looking at formal outfits in front of the mirror. I am noticing how a simple belt changes the whole look and I am standing there feeling a bit focused because small details matter a lot in formal dressing
Then I am thinking about accessories because I want everything to look balanced. I am asking the shop helper what pairs well with a formal belt and he say watch, shoes, and a matching belt buckle matter most. I feel confuse because there are many options and I dont know what combination actually looks best
After that I am going on my phone and searching about formal belt accessories while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba to see what people are buying. I am seeing watches, cufflinks, and shoes paired with belts and it make me more confuse because some styles look simple and some look very flashy and I dont know which one is correct for formal wear
Now I am thinking if I should match belt with watch and shoes for formal outfit or keep it simple because it feel easier to just wear basic items but matching accessories look more stylish and I am still not sure what is better do matching accessories really improve formal look or do simple styling sometimes look cleaner and more elegant in real life situations and events
