Will this belt go well with these boots?
I have a pair of full croc leather boots and an alligator belt (both black). The belt is much shinier than the boots (you really can't see the extent of the contrast in the photo). My question is, will these go well together or should I get a toned-down belt? I'm totally naive when it comes to fashion so I'd really appreciate your opinions. Thanks, Robert

Yes, but it'll make your butt look too big.

i think its reptile overload. One or the other is fine. I would not do both at the same time.

They are a bit matchy matchy, which is fashion for too much alike. IMO.

Looks fine to me. There will be enough space/distance between the two. Go for it.

Perhaps a croc head band would round things off nicely.

You're wearing full crocodile, calf high boots and you're asking about 'toning it down'?

They do go together but maybe a bit croc overload as others have said. I would wear a different belt if it were me.

Those boots are certainly not fashion in the UK, though I think they look good and would wear them (assuming the fashion in the USA is not to have trousers tucked in!)

I would wear the belt at the same time, but only because I think it would look OK – not because it’s ‘in fashion!’

I live in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. So yes, that would be "toning it down".

I'm not too good on fashion either.

Best go down to my local and ask the boys in the front bar....mate

But be careful, they are protected over here.

Do you have the box and papers?
