For me, its the buckle. Maybe try one with a buckle the same width as the belt itself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1678631 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 21:27:26 +0000 Anna 1678631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Alaska girl. Try a piece of black ribbon, nothing shiny, Maybe grosgrain in a 1.5 to 2 inch width? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1678628 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 21:18:44 +0000 catgirl 1678628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try a wide black ribbon or fabric belt.&nbsp; Like a bow on a present... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1678607 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 19:52:33 +0000 Sheila 1678607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a trench similar to this that came with a matching material belt. I did not like the belt in the front&nbsp; so I cut it off and put black buttons to sew it in place in the back of the jacket. So it pulls it in a bit... but leaves the front straight- just wide open glorious red. </p> <p>I wanted to cut off the belt loops and just use it straight without the belt but it does look a bit more form fitted with the belt in place in the back of the jacket. </p> <p>I LOVE red trenches ! The best !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1677636 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 12:10:33 +0000 Tanya 1677636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also don't think this belt works with the trench.&nbsp; I would try an unstructured black piece of leather, basically a tie-belt, I think it would look good with the black buttons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1677634 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 12:08:05 +0000 Helen11 1677634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're wanting a little more shape at the waist of the jacket, could you use another fabric tie to tie it through the back belt loops, iykwim? Something black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1677598 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 10:08:46 +0000 Ledonna N. 1677598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So welcome and the trench is pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1677585 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 08:57:41 +0000 Sally 1677585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some good ideas. I wont wear the belt with the trench. I think I need to wear unbuttoned and look out for a black belt or perhaps a trench with a belt. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676611 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 19:42:35 +0000 Ledonna N. 1676611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashion is so subjective.&nbsp; I would actually a like a black wide belt with texture in it.&nbsp; I could see the same belt with a black color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676508 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 16:49:19 +0000 Aida 1676508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a huge fan of this belt here; looks best suited to pants or perhaps a dress. I have been wearing my trenches buttoned and skipping the belt these days. I like the idea of a softer belt over your trench, both in color and fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676442 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 14:37:21 +0000 Muffin 1676442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you tend to wear the trench unbuttoned would you really wear a belt? I get the desire to belt and button- it's a finished look. I like Angie's idea of black if you were to try belting. Honestly this type of a belt doesn't lend itself to undoing and just hanging there like a cloth one. How would you handle where to put the belt when you get hot or take the coat off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676432 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 14:26:36 +0000 Angie 1676432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not fond of that belt with the trench coat. It looks a little off. Perhaps a plain black belt instead?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676306 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:10:03 +0000 Brooklyn 1676306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you try sitting the belt a little higher? Above your natural waist? I think what's putting me off is that the belt is sitting on the buttons of the coat and it looks a little busy to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-belt-work#post-1676290 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 10:08:52 +0000 Sally 1676290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thrifted this trench which I wear undone. The original belt was not with the trench when I bought it. I found this belt and wondered if it works with the trench. Why do I have this desire to button and belt things up? </p>
