[Emergency] I forgot my belt when I went out! Let's do some first aid!

I'm sure everyone has had the experience of going out and forgetting their belt at least once.
You rush out of the house in the morning and suddenly realize you've forgotten your belt... Here are some first aid tips for when you forget your belt.
In this article, we will give you some specific tips and ideas that will come in handy when you forget your belt.

Among fashion accessories, belts can be hidden under a jacket and are not that noticeable.
However, if you are wearing pants that fit your body perfectly, you don't need a belt to keep them in place, so you may forget to wear a belt.
When in a business setting or meeting someone with a good fashion sense, you may give a bad impression if you do not have your belt properly fastened to your trousers.
Here we will introduce some items that can be used instead of a belt .

The easiest and most readily available substitute is shoelaces. If you wear shoes, you can remove your shoelaces and thread them around your waist and tie them to create a temporary belt. Tie your shoelaces securely to keep your pants from slipping down.

For women, you can use a scarf instead. Wrap the scarf around your waist and tie it to add a stylish accent. For men, you can use a handkerchief. Fold the handkerchief into a thin strip, put it around your waist and tie it as a first aid measure.

If you have a bag, you can also use the strap of the bag. Remove the strap from the bag and put it through the belt loop of your trousers. This way, you won't have to worry about your trousers slipping down.

In cold weather, you can use the belt attached to your coat or jacket instead. By removing the belt from your coat or jacket and using it on your trousers, it looks natural and works well as a first aid measure.

In winter, even if you forget to put your belt on your trousers, you can easily hide the belt part under your suit, long coat, sweater, etc., reducing the chances of the other person finding out.
However, most people wear short clothes in the summer, so the position of the belt is completely visible. If you forget to wear a belt, try not to hide it.
Here are some places where you can buy the belt .

The number of 100 yen shops is rapidly increasing, and they are easy to find when you are looking for a trouser belt in an emergency.
Moreover, most of the items are very cheap, costing just 100 yen.
In larger stores, trouser belts may be sold for around 500 yen.
Famous 100 yen shops include Daiso, Seria, and Can Do.

If you are looking for a trouser belt as a temporary solution, but would like to buy a high-quality product, we recommend purchasing one at a nearby men's clothing store.
Since AOKI men's clothing, Aoyama clothing, and UNIQLO are clothing stores, they sell proper trouser belts.
In particular, businessmen should be well groomed.
If you buy a very cheap trouser belt, it may break easily or it may not match your fashion, causing problems.
So, if you go to a men's clothing store and discuss with the salesperson how your clothes will fit and how they will feel, and then coordinate with a belt, you will be able to look appropriate for the workplace.

If you forget to fasten your belt and it's the middle of the night, it can be difficult to find a clothing store.
Of course, 100 yen shops and men's clothing stores will be closed.
However, there is no need to give up thinking that there are no stores that are open 24 hours like convenience stores.
In fact, there is a Don Quijote store that is open 24 hours a day.
Depending on where you live, there may or may not be a Don Quijote store, but if there is one, we recommend purchasing a trouser belt there as a temporary solution.
The prices are relatively low, and most stores are located along main streets and national highways, so they are easy to find.

If your store opens late and you don't mind closing in the evening, you could try buying a trouser belt as a temporary fix at a general store such as Loft or Tokyu Hands.
I wouldn't recommend this shop to people who are in a hurry, but they have a wide variety of trouser belts to choose from, so there are many products that will satisfy you as a replacement for the belt you've forgotten.
Also, depending on the region, there are many privately run "general stores" in cities and towns.
Even privately owned general stores may not have a wide variety or stock, but some do stock trouser belts, so it might be a good idea to stop by and take a look as a temporary fix.
Family Mart

Although the number of stores that carry the belt is limited, you can also purchase the belt at your local Family Mart.
Be careful as the design is a bit casual.

To avoid forgetting your belt, it is important to be prepared in advance. Here are some points to keep in mind:

Keeping a spare belt in your bag can come in handy in case of emergency. It's a good idea to choose a belt with a compact design and carry it with you at all times.

In order not to forget your belt, it is important to make it a habit to check your appearance before you go out. It is a good idea to create a checklist before you leave and include "Are you wearing your belt?" as one of the items to check.

Recently, pants and skirts with built-in belts are on sale. By choosing such clothes, you don't have to worry about forgetting your belt. Clothes with elastic waistbands are also convenient.

After applying first aid, do not leave the belt on for the whole day. If possible, we recommend that you go home early and put the belt on or buy a new belt at a nearby store. Also, do not forget to return the item you applied first aid to its original purpose.

Through experiences like this one where you forgot your belt, you can reaffirm the importance of belts. Belts are not just fashion items, they also play a practical role. You should get into the habit of wearing a belt every day to keep your pants or skirts in place and to keep you mobile.

We have introduced some ideas for first aid when you forget your belt. You can temporarily use everyday items such as shoelaces, scarves, and bag straps. You can also prevent forgetting your belt by carrying a spare belt in advance or choosing clothes with a built-in belt.

With a little ingenuity and mental preparation, you can overcome the trouble of forgetting your belt. Don't panic, stay calm, and enjoy a comfortable day. From next time, make it a habit to remember to wear your belt when going out and avoid the same trouble.
