Stop your trouser buttons from poking out of your belt with one simple trick

Belts have exactly one job: to hold up your trousers. Nevertheless, your waistband will sometimes sag in an ugly way. Just live with it? Nope. There’s a very simple solution.
If your trousers fit like a glove on your hips, a belt usually doesn’t do much apart from adding an extra layer to your look. But if you belong to the wide-cut baggy look camp, your belt takes on a much greater responsibility. It supports you – or your trousers – so you have to be able to rely on it.
But if there’s too much fabric at a specific place in relation to your hips, the waistband can sometimes slip loosely under your belt buckle. Not a great look. Luckily, there’s an easy fix to this problem.
A helping hand
Here’s all you have to do to align your buckle and button: after threading the belt through every loop, undo the button on your trousers. Then push the small pin on your belt buckle inwards through the buttonhole. Refasten the button, pull the loose belt end through the buckle as usual and secure the pin in the hole you want.
Thanks to this simple trick, belt and trousers have no choice but to stay together. No matter how wide your waistband is, nothing will slip any more. You’re welcome.
