How to Style TheAlastair Buckle
The Alastair buckle is a very classic, round belt buckle that is a bit longer than our Geroge horseshoe buckle. Unlike George, it also has a uniform thickness and pronounced end pieces. Because of those features, one could argue it is a bit more casual but with its clean, round lines, it is still a very classic buckle design that will stand the test of time.
It is a bit heavier and thus more substantial than all the other buckles. If you like to wear more casual and rugged outfits, this is a fantastic buckle!Even though it can also be worn with a suit, the round line of the buckle harmonizes really well with round-toed shoes.
This buckle lends you a solid appearance. The perfect companion for the well-dressed gentleman who wants to stand out in a subtle way and who does not like the garish over the top western belt buckles.
Of course, we offer the Alastair Buckle in silver as well here. Also, check out the horseshoe George if you like this buckle.
How to Style Gold
Gold is one of the most celebrated and prized precious metals, and with good reason. Its beautiful shine catches the light just so, and its warm, shining tones impart a rich, decadent air to any ensemble. Gold accessories, like belt buckles, are traditionally associated with a more vintage look and are typical of plush, opulent ensembles. That being said, this particular luster of gold is neither particularly red nor particularly yellow, so is extremely versatile and will perfectly complement any style.
In general, you should endeavor to match the metals found in your outfit, so wear a gold belt buckle if you are planning on wearing other gold accessories like rings or a wristwatch.
