The Pinko belt with a Love Birds buckle has become one of the most coveted accessories in recent years: the two diamond-cut metal birds elevate even the simplest look. But when you buy it online, the same question always comes up: which size should I choose? In this guide, you will find the answer in two minutes: how to measure a Pinko belt, the size chart and which model to choose among the different widths.
How Pinko belt sizes work
Pinko belts come in sizes from XXS to L. The official measurement refers to the length from the buckle pin to the centre hole - the point where the belt should fasten for the perfect fit, leaving room for adjustment in the holes before and after (there are approximately 7 cm from the last hole to the tip).
| Size | Buckle pin → centre hole | Approximate waist circumference | Approximate dress size |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXS | 73 cm | 60–64 cm | 36–38 |
| XS | 79 cm | 64–69 cm | 38–40 |
| S | 84 cm | 70–75 cm | 40–42 |
| M | 89 cm | 74–79 cm | 44 |
| L | 94 cm | 80–84 cm | 46–48 |
Approximate values from the official Pinko charts. Pay attention to where you will wear it: for a high-waisted fit, measure the narrowest point of your waist; with jeans, measure where the belt passes through the trouser loops (usually 5–8 cm lower and wider).
How to measure yourself in 30 seconds
Method 1: take a tape measure and measure your circumference at the exact point where you will wear the belt - high waist for dresses and blazers, hips for jeans. Compare the centimetres with the "waist circumference" column.
Method 2 (the most precise): take a belt you already wear and measure it from the buckle pin to the hole you usually use. That number is your size: choose the Pinko size with the closest "buckle pin → centre hole" measurement. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one: the adjustment holes have you covered.
Which model should you choose: 2, 3 or 4 centimetres?
2 cm slim belt - the most versatile: with tailored trousers, lightweight dresses, or even over knitwear. Proportioned Love Birds buckle for a refined effect.
Classic 3 cm belt - the bestseller: perfect for the loops of jeans and trousers, it’s the model that started the legend. If it’s your first Pinko, start here.
4 cm wide belt - to wear at the waist, over blazers, dresses, and coats: it defines the silhouette and transforms the garment. Here, the right measurement is your actual waist measurement.
All models are made from “silk-touch” leather - soft, with a smooth, silky finish - featuring the Love Birds Diamond Cut buckle in worked metal that catches the light.

Frequently asked questions about Pinko belts
How do you measure the size of a Pinko belt?
From the buckle post to the center hole: size S corresponds to 84 cm, and M to 89 cm. Measure one of your belts at the hole you use and compare.
What if I’m between two sizes?
Choose the larger one: the adjustment holes (with approximately 7 cm beyond the last hole) more than cover the difference.
Does the Love Birds belt look good with jeans?
Yes, it’s the most classic pairing: the 3 cm model fits standard belt loops. For high-waisted looks over blazers and dresses, choose the 4 cm one.
How can I tell if it’s authentic?
Buy it from an authorized retailer: it comes with packaging, tags, and a Diamond Cut buckle with a precise finish and solid weight.
