Q1: Why add 2 inches to pants size?
A: This accounts for the belt being worn slightly looser than pants and allows room for movement and comfort.
Q2: What if I'm between sizes?
A: Round up to the nearest whole number for belts, as it's better to have a slightly larger belt that can be adjusted.
Q3: Does this work for all belt styles?
A: This is a general guideline. Some styles (like wide fashion belts) may require different sizing approaches.
Q4: How should a properly sized belt fit?
A: A belt should fasten comfortably in the middle holes, allowing you to add or remove layers as needed.
Q5: What about petite or plus sizes?
A: The +2 rule generally applies across sizes, but consider trying belts in person for unusual proportions.
