Empty Pant Belt Loops

What is your opinion of slacks being worn with empty belt loops?

I am not a fan at all. It looks like they're going to lose their pants.

Looks like they never finished dressing to me. Just a sloppy look.

Someone who doesn't pay attention to detail in her fashion, work, and other areas of her life.

Doesn't always finish projects.

Someone who doesn't live to worry about how they look; doesn't like belts; doesn't need 'em; doesn't wear them. Somehow I don't associate it with being a bad human being. But that's just me.

I agree. If you're going to expose the loops then you should wear a belt. Otherwise, it just looks unfinished. Maybe that's an outdated notion.

dont care for belts, so i dont wear them.

i dont really tuck anyways, so i cannot imagine that the belt loops are showing, but if they were, i would not care.

It doesn't have to be a belt. It can be a men's tie, a scarf, a small dressy fanny pack....a long necklace.

I wear a belt whenever I wear pants where you can see the belt loops...but then I love a great leather belt. I know ladies who don't wear belts because they find them uncomfortable when they sit or just don't like the look of a belt.

I am not sure if I ever saw a women whose pants would fall down without a belt. Men? Yes, I have seen men who wore wrong size pants, had no tush, and needed some way to hold up their pants.

In fact, just this week at a local hospital a guy walked in, stopped to read a sign, and his pants fell to the ground. He casually bent over, pulled them up and pulled his belt very tight. He didn't look embarrassed....but me and the other little old ladies rolled our eyes and tried not to laugh. (He was at least 50...so not some teenager with low riders on).

I guess everyone has her pet peeves. That's not one of mine. I don't even notice.

If I'm not wearing a belt and my slacks have belt loops, I don't tuck my top in... that's just my personal preference.

I prefer to wear a belt. Otherwise my pants would fall down .. not enough hips to keep them up.

It's my pet peeve. I was raised by a very proper, well dressed woman and she taught us that when pants or skirts have beckers or some say belt loops, we must wear a belt to avoid looking sloppy or poorly dressed. And that's what I did my entire life. It's how I raised my girls. It drives me bonkers when I see things like this.

Your waistline would be soaking wet if you wore a belt when it's over 100+ degrees outside...

I don't wear pants when it's a 100 degrees. Fortunately for the people around me, it rarely gets 100 degrees in Seattle. Lol.

Even when I worked, I did not wear long pants in hot weather. When I traveled to the south pacific for work, I wore light wt dresses or skirts.

@kate2357 The last time I wore a dress (actually a suit), was the day I got married. di

I no longer tuck my tops in.. I hate wearing belts. They are are so uncomfortable.

I used to always tuck and wear a belt because my waist was teeny tiny, but now I don't care anymore. Comfort is #1 for me now.

The 1st models is wearing pretty tight pants, I doubt she would lose them without a belt. Perhaps bust a seam?

Seeing empty belt carriers on pants don't bother me at all.

I have never heard the term belt carriers. Is that an east coast term? I did use the googleto research...but it was no help.

Did find out Levi jeans were the first pants that had loops for a belt to hold pants up vs suspenders. Before Levi jeans, belts were associated with military uniforms and were often seen as decorative for non-military use. (According to the google).

(BTW, using the phrase "the google" is a nod to my sweet auntie, who would always ask me, "can you look something up for me on the google").
