I vote "square knot" for that balanced look.
It's a square knot, darlin', everyone knows that!

KILO NOVEMBER said:On Sunday I went to the supermarket. Standing out in front of the store was a young man wearing a belt in a way I had never seen. He was wearing those long short pants (or are they short long pants?), you know the kind where the waist is lower than normal, as in south of the butt cheeks? Well, this guy was also wearing a belt with these, uh, pants, and the belt was threaded through the loops, buckle centered, and located (drum roll here) at mid-thigh!
Now he was standing, not walking, so he might have been keeping the pants from falling to the ground by positioning his feet far enough apart that the waist band was snug against the thighs, so his pants, while falling down, had not yet fallen down. Does this meet binkmeisterRick's criterion for "the right way"?

This style is spread by MTV from the projects, to the music videos, to your children.
BUT the key thing to remember is that you are not supposed to JUDGE anyone especially by your antiquated value system, that will make you a bad person.

Secondly - and just as important - you allways use the middle hole in the belt. If you can't do that, you buy a shorter - or longer - belt.
Oh dear. :eusa_doh: I very frequently wear a brown leather jacket with black trousers.carebear said:Life is too short to wear black with brown.
Indeed we were, but then these threads get side-tracked so often. At least the jacket I referred to is leather as are many belts. It could have been more fftopic: if I started talking about wool jackets as I have never heard of wool belts.Spitfire said:I had this strange idear that we are talkin' bout belts - and shoes.
I just wondered whether the principal of not wearing black and brown together applied to jackets and trousers as well as to belts and accessor worn on it.carebear said:Note the context, I was talking about things/accessories worn on the belt (if that's necessary) matching the belt. Ex. black cell phone case on brown belt.
Not jackets.
