Well you’ve got to have a plain-edged belt and a dress belt in your wardrobe surely.

I don’t wear dresses.
Same but it’s important to know the difference. Dress belts are thinner and are worn with tailored clothes like suits and tuxedos whilst plain edged belts are more for jeans.
I’ve never worn a belt with a tuxedo… I wear suspenders.
Checkmate.
Excellent choice. Much more comfortable and the point is that they should help your trousers drape better.
So not like this…I think that’s called stalemate. 🤝 
Fun fact: these aren’t my trousers. Accidentally swapped trousers after dry cleaning with Carla’s sister’s boyfriend… he’s a couple inches shorter and about 50 pounds lighter (it was a very uncomfortable wedding for me…).
So I agree with you: these trousers fit me like dog shit 🤝
