I adore the style of this belt and an elastic belt is very very forgiving. I'm very glad for 2 things. 1 that it is elastic and 2 that it is very size forgiving. I wish I had ordered a size up. I am a solid medium in almost everything and ordered the belt accordingly and while it DOES fit, I wish I had ordered a size up. It's still comfortable but you can tell on the right clothes that it is a little too snug. So far the latch has held but it being tight I wonder if it will hold for longer periods. We shall see. 10/10 get yaself one (but go a size bigger than you normally would)
