Product Description
This Hermès Kelly 18 Belt in yellow textured leather with silver-tone hardware offers a refined accent for both daytime tailoring and occasion dressing. In very good condition, it features the iconic turn-lock closure and a tan leather interior, making it an elegant choice for cinching a blazer, dress or high-waisted trousers with understated Hermès appeal.
Q: Is the Hermès Kelly 18 Belt adjustable? A: Yes. The Kelly 18 is designed to be adjustable, and this example is listed as size 95 (adjustable). It can usually be styled higher on the waist or lower on the hips, depending on your outfit and preferred fit.
Q: What does Kelly 18 mean? A: Kelly 18 refers to the slim width of the belt, approximately 18 mm. It gives the belt a refined, narrow profile that works well with dresses, tailoring and polished everyday looks.
Q: Can this belt be worn through trouser belt loops? A: In many cases, yes. Because it is a slim 18 mm style, it can fit through a number of standard belt loops, but this will vary by garment. It is also especially popular worn over dresses, knitwear, blazers and cardigans.
