Does a Cummerbund Go Through Belt Loops?

You don't typically wear a belt under your cummerbund, so if you need some extra help keeping your pants in place, clip on a pair of suspenders before you put on your cummerbund and jacket. People won't be able to see the suspenders, but you should still wear a black or white pair just in case your jacket slips.

Do you wear a cummerbund with a belt?

You do not wear a belt with a cummerbund. You want your cummerbund to fit tight, and a belt will look bulky underneath. If your pants are slightly big and you feel like you need a belt, we suggest a pair of suspenders instead.

Which way round does a cummerbund go?

Cummerbunds are meant to be worn with the pleats facing upward. Downward facing pleats are actually incorrect. We'll get to why in a second. Also, because cummerbunds are waist coverings, they should be worn at the natural waist.
