How to put a belt buckle on a belt- 6 Easy steps to follow!

Assuming you are putting on a belt buckle with a traditional prong-and-hole fastener, the process is as follows!

1. Pull the belt through the hinge: The first step is to pull the belt through the hinge. This can be done by holding onto both ends of the belt and then pulling it through.

2. Pull the belt all the way through: Once you have pulled the belt all the way through, you will need to adjust it so that it fits snugly around your waist.

3. Put your belt on as you normally would: The next step is to put your belt on as you normally would, making sure that it is fastened in place securely.

4. Tighten your belt as you normally would: After putting it on, you should fasten your belt as tight as you normally wear. This will help ensure that it stays in place during movement.

5. Slide buckle to centre: The fifth step is to slide the buckle to the centre. You may need to move it a few times before getting into position.

6. Adjust buckle as needed to secure it to place: Once centred, you should adjust the buckle as needed to secure it in place. This may mean tightening or loosening the belt, depending on how it feels.

How to put on a belt buckle- The shortcut way!

1. Put on the belt as normal, threading it through your jeans or pants loops and pulling it to the desired tightness. The tip of the leather should extend beyond the hole in which it started.

2. Gently slide the buckle onto the end of the strap until both prongs poke through holes on both sides (as they would when fastened). If your particular buckle has an additional loop for tucking excess strap under, do not fasten this yet-we'll come back to that later.

3. For Different types of buckles:

   a. For buckles with two prongs: Pinch one prong between thumb and forefinger and pull away from the body with one hand; do the same with the remaining prong with the other hand until both point outward at 90-degree angles from the sides of the waistband (this may take some practice).

   b. For a clasp-style buckle: Slide the clip over the top lip of the waistband of your pants until the teeth grip the fabric snugly all around the circumference (again, facing out), then release the clip to secure it in place just below the band's edge.

4. Adjust the buckle to sit comfortably in the centre of your waist/belt loops (not too high near the stomach, nor too low in the thighs). When viewed from behind, the excess strap will hang down the right side of the trousers.

5. Adjust the tail length by pushing the pin in the tightener or feeding it through another hole further. Remember that you can always tighten it later if necessary, but loosening it necessitates cutting off unwanted portions and starting over, which defeats the purpose of using a shortcut in the first place!

There you have it—a quick and easy solution on how to put on a belt buckle without having to thread the strap through every time!

Can you put a belt buckle on a regular belt? 

The answer is yes! In fact, it is simple and takes only a few minutes. Here's how!

  • First, find the end of your regular belt that doesn't have any holes punched in it. This will be the side that goes through the loop on your pants (or skirts). Once you've found this end, thread it through the back of your chosen belt buckle.
  • Next, take the other end of your regular belt and feed it through the front of the buckle. You may need to wiggle things around a bit to get everything lined up perfectly, but don't worry - it'll all fit eventually!
  • Finally, once both ends are fed through their respective sides of the buckle, pull tight and adjust as necessary until you achieve the desired snugness. And that's all there is to it!

Now go out and show off your new style with confidence, knowing that everything stays securely in place thanks to good old-fashioned physics ;)
