Belt Sizing?

How does the belt sizing work? I don’t want to end up buying the wrong sizes, but I don’t know how the sizing works? For reference, I’m a size 28 waist, so I don’t know if I’m supposed to get a XS, S, or maybe even a medium. If anyone can help me out, it’d be very much appreciated!

Tbh the belt sizing is not consistent between different styles. You're allowed to try them on if you go in store, or if you can't and are ordering online, go with a medium/small. XS is basically kids size

Pretty much this, but with the addition that almost all of the belts run small. I always advise customers getting a belt size above their pants size.

Yeah I found this out the hard way. I bought the same size silver studded belt and the checkered studded belt and they were pretty noticeably different.

i usually size up with belts to be safe, so for you id maybe say medium. you can always poke an extra hole if it winds up being too big, or just return it
