This belt is perfect for casual dressing, as its width, too. I just can't understand why many people say it runs small and that it has to be ordered in a bigger size, I'd recommend that just go with one (1) size up or maybe two (2) to keep you safe, because it is a real true to fit, very closed (Remember that some people don't want to accept its real waist number, I suppose is that, be realistic with yourself). You can expect it's darker than in the photo overall. Shipping from Amazon was very fast.
