I bought both the black and silver in these belts and the colors are exactly as described. The silver is beautiful, very shiny. I tried them both on and they are actually slightly big on me in the large/extra large, so I have a bit of a long tail with them and am not sure how I'll solve that problem (hence the loss of one star). It is difficult to buy belts online because they are not always sized properly. For your reference point, I am 5'5 and a half inches tall, and weigh 160 pounds. I generally wear a large in Misses clothing. I'm not sure how the medium would have fit me, but I decided to go large/extra large just in case.

These belts are also true to the picture - they aren't particularly fancy, but they can dress up an outfit anyway in my opinion. They are quite wide so they can be worn with long sweaters and tops to dress them up. When I tried the silver one on with my long red sweater for Christmas, it was perfect (although I might wear the black instead to go with the pants I plan to wear with the sweater). Either one can be used this way. I'm not sure they would fit through the loops in jeans, but I have a couple of pairs of shorts with large loops that I'm sure they will fit. I was relieved when I received these belts and they were true to size and color. In my opinion, I think you can buy these belts in your normal size and not be disappointed. I cannot speak to the other colors as I did not get them. But the black and silver are wonderful!
