Let's talk about belts

I always wear a belt if I am tucking my top in.
If I’m wearing a sweater or something that covers the loops then it just depends if I put my pants away with the belt still on haha.
I prefer to tuck my top in so I’m often in a belt. I have about 5 belts I wear regularly.

I never wear a belt. I just bought a new winter coat, first thing I did was remove the belt it came with.

I almost always wear a belt with jeans. Otherwise I feel like they sag or slide down and it's annoying.

I wouldn't if I didn't have to. However, my hips and thighs need a larger pant size than my waist does. Thus, to keep them up or from getting pouchy up front, I have to wear a belt. I hate them!

This.

I think a belt is one of those touches that makes an outfit look styled, and not just clothes being worn.

 I call them pants, unless they are jeans. 

And I never wear a belt. 

Of course, I don't tuck anything into my pants/jeans/etc. any more either so it's not like the loops are showing.

I wear a belt if I’m tucking in my shirt.

If I was slim enough to wear pants with a top tucked in, I'd probably wear a belt to finish the outfit off. But I'm not slim enough and my tops cover everything. These days I don't even own pants with belt loops.

Wow, now I feel like a weirdo because I wear belts regularly.

I wear belts:

-to style my outfit
-to keep my pants up because I'm rectangle shaped
-to create a waistline--see above.

I voted sometimes... I don't like to wear belts.. I feel I'm too fat for them to be cute looking.  I do have one for my pants that have gotten too big for me but yet I still wear them.  The belt I wear is a stretchy kind and it doesn't go all the way to the front.. both sides button to the first belt loop.

Nope. Way too heavy for a tucked in top. I’d wear them if I could tuck in.

I have to/need to because I have always had an hourglass figure, with a big gap in the back between my waistband and back.

Although, as I have gotten older, there is quite a bit more sand, but I still have that darn gap. Plus, the added issue is now without a belt my pants end up eventually riding down below my belly, and occasionally I end up being able to take my pants down without ever unbuttoning or unzipping.

I did come across a great trick thanks to a video reel. I take scissors and cut a small slit in my waistband, only the inside fabric, not through both layers of fabric, on each side of the opening.

Then I thread some twill tape (got a 50 yard spool off of Amazon) through the waistband, leaving enough on each end to tie a bow (I do finish each end by turning over and sewing down.)

This internal drawstring has been a game changer. It's so much better than a belt, especially since tops lay better /flatter without a bulky belt.

I love the look of a French tuck. I have done it occasionally with jeans.  Still no belt though. I feel I can get away with it when wearing jeans.
