They say that this is a dress belt that goes with a suit or trousers and a sports jacket. I would classify that as casual. It's a matte finish, the buckle is fairly basic, and the overall style feels too casual to be a dress belt. It's almost smooth leather with no visible binding (meaning it's a single piece of leather). Fits as expected but may be too wide for belt loops on some pants. The quality is okay, but could be better. All in all, it's a decent price if you're looking for a belt like this.
