Can I wear my belt with my tuxedo pants?Updated 5 months ago

Belts are usually not worn with tuxedo pants. Most tuxedo pants will not even have belt loops to accommodate a belt. (NOTE: there are a few exceptions, but most designers will not have the belt loops). If a gentleman needs something to hold up his trousers, formal suspenders or formal braces are often used in lieu of belts. For reference, "suspenders" have the clip ends and fasten to the top band of the pants; whereas "braces" have woven ends that fasten to interior buttons in the trousers.

Formal braces and formal suspenders are available in an assortment of color, fabrics, and styles. With men's tuxedos, the two most popular colors are black formal braces or white formal braces.
