Unfortunately, empty belt loops look bad. Better to buy pants with side adjusters or use suspenders. Better to avoid belts in general.

I dont like to avoid belt loops cuz belt loops make pants more casual. I work corporate and usually u dont need a 3 piece suit for work... I want pants I can use at work and off work... thats why I like belt loops. Also just buy 2 belts, black and brown and you are set. Im old now and I prefer practical, versatile and good lookin clothes.

@@Lukas_Schanderl Every time a belt is worn, the outfit is cut into two halves. This breaks the apparent length of the outfit and is therefore less elegant. Of course, the outfit can also be visually cut in half if the top and bottom colours are very different.

No sock look with loafers looks amazing . I recently wore this look with an olive green linen/silk suit, loafers with no show socks quite successfully based on the compliments i received

You can't go wrong with an olive linen suit in summer :) Great choice 👌

I agree that the no sock look can work within the parameters you mentioned. The examples you shared that didn’t work were either too formal as you noted or were simply poorly done with too short pants and/or outfits that were too slim fitting. Odd trousers and sport coat are probably the most formal you should attempt with that look

Thank you for the idea :) I'll have to look into that topic as I have no experience with hats so far.

With a suit, the paints should have either side adjuster or buttons for braces. No clip on suspenders. I always wear braces, even when I’m wearing dress pants and a blazer or sport coat.

Great tip :) Thank you, Walter. I prefer side adjusters, as well. Still need to give braces a try.

Another great video, my friend! The socks rule is very true. I often use the socks to echo a colour from somewhere else in the outfit exactly as you're suggesting. I'm also with you on not wearing a belt, and certainly on not needing to match the belt to the shoes. I love what Sonya Glyn over on Sartorial Talks often says, which is to match the belt to the trousers in that case, so your eye doesn't stop at the waist. I will also often just skip the belt if I don't need it to keep the trousers up :) Brown and black is a tricky one. I don't look at it as a rule, but more a guidance, and I often hear it as "don't mix brown and black unless you know what you're doing." I quite enjoy wearing black with a brown suede jacket over and brown suede shoes for example. No show socks is one that, like you, I'm on the fence with. I don't do it with suits, as you say, but with linen trousers and loafers? Definitely willing to. :) I don't typically wear shorts, other than for exercise. I much prefer linen trousers, and they are just as cool for me as shorts are.

Thank you for watching, Jay. I had the same issue with my pants as well. I only started to really get to know my size about 2 years ago, but even then, we will have weight fluctuations. That's why I prefer side adjusters, but it's more tricky to find them. Someone mentioned that silk socks can also be very light and comfortable during summer (but a bit pricey I suppose).

For me the sockless look is a 2010s aesthetic and I for one would wear silk socks with loafers as an example.

1) My sox match my pants almost every time Sometimes I will match my sox to my shirt. With my pink pants, I only wear brown shoes and brown sox. 2) I don't wear belts, I wear red suspenders. 3) If I wear a black jacket,, black shirt and tie, black pants, black sox and shoes, with my chocolate brown face and hands - that's the only time black and brown go together.and look good. 4) If I go out in public, I wear sox. 5) I don't wear shorts in public.

With a suit you should have side adjusters or wear braces. A belt breaks the line of a suit. I prefer braces, even if I’m wearing odd trousers and a jacket. No shorts in the city. However, if you are at a tropical resorts, by the beach, on a boat or at a pool party shorts are alright.
