Ask Angie - your clever trench belt system

Scarlet

Angie, I noticed in your post last week that you said you left your trench coat open indoors, and it is open in the photos. It seems like you have some clever way of tying up the belt to keep it neat and polished. I wanted to do a WIW post last week, but I in the photo I realized my trench looked such a mess open that I need to find a better solution!

Scarlet, I have no idea what Angie does (and would love to learn!), but I sometimes tie the belt in the back of the coat so that it doesn't slip out and isn't in the way. Alternatively, you could tie each side of the belt in a knot, just outside of the last loop, which should keep it perfectly in place.

It looked to me as though Angie had done Steph's second suggestion, but she'll have to confirm.

I do not like the look of trench belts tied at the back at all. I'm afraid that specific look does not make it through my filter - especially when the trench is double breasted. Horses for courses I guess!

Scarlet, I looped the one trench belt end (sans the belt buckle) into the belt loop twice - that's all. It creates a little knot that holds it all in place. The little trick works particularly well with a very fitted and single breasted trench coat. Hope that makes sense.

Makes sense, Angie, thanks!

Thanks Steph and Sarah for your suggestions too.
