I don't understand trouser belts

[MissPerception]

Why do so many people wear trousers/jeans/shorts without belts? I did when I was an impoverished student however

Victoria Beckham without a belt

I see this SO often. Am I missing something. I think it looks unfinished/awful/cheap

Because they don't need belts?

I'm an Apple shape. They advise against wearing belts as they add bulk just where it is not needed. However, my belt loops are never exposed if that makes sense.

Really?

Most trousers/jeans/shorts don't need a belt because they fit properly. A belt keeps things up if they're a bit big.

I don't tuck things into my trousersd/jeans/shorts though. A belt would just add unnecessary bulk under my top.

What Trills said.

Plus trouser belts are uncomfortable and add bulk to your waist.

I'm pretty sure 90% of people don't wear trouser belts!

VB does look good in jeans but how is that a news story?

I'm pretty sure 99% of people don't wear a belt every time they wear trousers.

It has never occurred to me that one should always wear trousers with a belt

Oh well I'm obviously in the minority here. I don't need a belt either but I just think he tabs for on the trousers where the belt goes through look rather bare.

Doesn't it look better with a belt?

I don't think it makes it look better. I only wear trouser belts with some jeans which are now too big for me, just to keep them up. It's a pain when I have to use the loo quickly, just one more thing to worry about. And I tend to wear tops that cover the waistband, so nobody sees the belt loops anyway.
