I am looking to buy a nice belt, so now I will need to understand the measurements. I measured from the current hole I use on my old belt to the buckle. It is 32in (also the smallest holes, so maybe I could go one hole tighter? maybe not).

Anyways, the sizes are 30 or 32.

30 would have holes for
28, 30, 32

32 would have holes for
30, 32, 34

I am just nervous the 32 will look to big. Any advice?

Usually holes on belts are an inch apart. Less, in some cases. You're supposed to use the middle hole, and belts are normally measured to the middle hole. You should be a size 32.
