WTF! Wednesday

Here's some food for thought - if you go out and choose to wear a pair of pants/shorts with belt loops and a tucked in shirt, would you wear a belt?

The answer is universal - YES!  Oh but hold the phone - I saw 4 people in the past two days who violated this simple yet hard-to-master technique.  The fucking loops are there for a reason - for a belt!  Go ahead and wear a shoelace around your waist.  Use a rope.  Use SOMETHING!  Don't walk around with your shirt tucked in and no belt on - you look like a douche.  Here's a very old forum that discussed this.

Again, I forgot to snap photos of these boobs and they terribly low fashion IQ's but I will add a few photos from a Google search:
Belt-free khaki - doofus!
I feel like this is silly looking too.
Here's another article written by a consummate professional regarding belt-wearing.  It's a must. 

It doesn't matter if your pants are tight? - who cares, wear a belt.
If you're pants are baggy? - definitely wear a belt.
Khaki pants with a polo tucked in? - belt it.
Denim with a tucked in t-shirt? - pull the shirt out and add a belt.

This is something that is so basic, so rudimentary, that it shouldn't even have to be addressed.  If it has loops, they're to be utilized.

Plain and simple - but not so simple for some guys to comprehend.  Women, for you, this article does not apply - or does it?

Wow Bro, you are really getting fired up on the fashion stuff lately. I hadn't given this topic much thought quite frankly because I pretty much always wear a belt because I have a bit of a gut and I require one not to be obscene.

But when I was a super skinny rock n roller back in the day I always wore a sleeveless white T and Levi's Boot Cut (now 517's) sans belt. Maybe a Flannel over-shirt, NOT tucked...Granted this was a non working casual everyday occasion but I thought it looked fine. Of course I would never have worn a dress shirt (IE: collar w/buttons) with slacks and no belt. I never wore polo's but if I did they require a belt IMO...

Good stuff, love the fashion posts for the brothers...good stuff. You have to take into account your representing he CITY and E Coast too, Midwest fashion is an oxy-moron...it doesn't really exist!

You see bozos in khaki slacks w/dress shirts and no belts all the time in OFFICE's out here and NOT just on Friday's...ridiculous!
