Bought two of these, one small, one medium. When closed the circumference of the small is about 25 inches. Circumference of the medium is 28 inches.

Bought the small first. It was okay over a thin, fitted shirt, but looked terrible over a skirt and blouse. Didn't like that pouffy look. The medium sat nicely over my skirt and blouse.

I really like this style for the lighter color belts because there is no leather on it. The color of the leather usually doesn't match the elastic. With these you don't have to worry about that.

Overall very pleased with these belts.
