How do you wear your belt?

[Byteme]

If you are male, once buckled the tongue points to your left.  

There is a sound reason for that.  If you are in the driver's seat on the left, where god intended drivers to sit, having the tongue of the belt pointing to the left makes it easier for the woman in the passenger seat to unfasten your belt.

If the fly of my pants is 12 o'clock when viewed from above, then I wear my belt counterclockwise.  The end of the belt gets inserted through the first loop on the lefthand side of my pants and then around.  I tend to wear a rectangular "push button" buckle as well, in case you were wondering.

We weren't.

I figured the thread was going to go there next.

I alternate. It depends entirely on how I happen to pick up the belt; if the buckle happens to end up in my left hand, the belt goes to the right, and vice versa.

I cannot begin to imagine how confused I'd be if I attempted putting on my belt to the right.

Belts? You guys still wear belts?

I just get pants that fit to start with.

Suspenders is where it's at.

Counter-clockwise, like a real man.

I thread through the right belt loop (my right) first.  That puts the buckle facing left.

I think a public stoning is in order for this heratic.

All these years I've been wearing my belt wrong.  Nobody told me!

Next you'll tell us your shirts have the buttons on the left.....

[FoMoJo]

CCW, as most right-handed people are intuitively inclined I expect.  However, John raises a good point .

It's strange; it never occured to me to do it any other way but to the left.  I guess I mimicked the buttons on my shirt.

Who'd notice?  I never knew there was more than one way to wear a belt.  I go around to the left.  Is that the right or wrong way?

i fattened up enough to not need a belt

I have the opposite issue.  I've lost weight, and now most of my pants will come off without me unbuttoning them, so I need a belt to hold them up.  If I keep taking off weight, I'll have to get new clothes.

That is the manly man way to wear it. Rest easy, the Angel of Improper Belt Etiquette and Smite will pass over you tonight.

Now that you mention it...

Yeah, not a big deal, really.  But I like John's (Byteme) line of thought here, so I'll be trying to make the switch.

I like his way of thinking on the subject also.  You should definitely make the switch.  That's the only situation where anybody should notice or care about how you're wearing your belt.

Just out of curiosity, are you right or left handed?

So do Brits put their belts on the other way?

Quick.  Check between your legs?  See anything?  If not, then wear your belt clockwise.

Sansabelt? The old man pants where the waist band comes up just under the armpits?
