    honestly-it depends on a. where you like your jeans to rest (lower or upper hip),or higher near waist....also depends on the jean style (all are cut differently).....the number and sizing of belt loops (belts are made in varying thickness and width)-if you need a belt for trousers/suit-belt will also fit differently.lol for jeans,i would suggest a a medium width in a 32-34 (also depending on number of holes cut into the belt,for adjusting)-although you can always use a drill to make another hole,if needed (i do this all the time).but-like the above mentioned-it is best to try on...if you are purchasing online,ask them for the EXACT measurements and where the very 1st hole is placed and the very last hole is placed.use a fabric measuring tape (or good old tape measure will work,as well) and boom! you should be one your way to a positive and happy belt shopping experience. :)

    32, you can grow into it.

    But you also need to try them on. I have no idea, if you're wearing your belt on your waist, or below your waist (hips). Some guys like to wear their belt LOWER than their hips, and wear baggy jeans.
