A waist belt is a flexible band, made of either leather or a type of cloth, worn around the waist, generally serving the purpose of supporting clothing items that would otherwise become too loose, particularly trousers. A waist belt can also be for the purpose of style and decoration. (example like high waist belt and gold waist belts)
At one end of the belt is a belt buckle that is fashioned onto the other end of the belt. The other end of the belt contains several holes, into which a prong (which is part of the buckle) is inserted into for the purpose of securing the belt. Sometimes, there is a clamp system so that no holes are needed.
Waist belts are primarily worn by men and boys especially for leather waist belt, as a means of holding up their pants/jeans. Women are more apt to wear a belt for fashion purposes.
A variant of the wide waist belt is the utility belt, which includes pockets for carrying items that the wearer needs for prompt use and loops to hang larger items. Police officers, soldiers, and repair personnel are typical roles which use this kind of belt. The most famous fictional example is Batman's utility waist belt.
