Hey everyone, I have been recently looking to shift my office trousers selection from standard flat front chinos into something a little more interesting. I've been looking at entry level brands that are usually recommended on here (Cavour, Natalino, Pini Parma, Rubinacci RTW), but most of them have side buckles instead of belt loops.
I understand that they're meant to look more "sartorial", but I don't get the point of replacing belt hooks with buckles at all costs (everyone can see the trousers are not bespoke, it's a bit like faking an unbuttoned sleeve on a suit jacket).
I also wouldn't mind having some pairs with buckles, just not every single one of them. Does anyone have recommendations for good alternative options? Ideally something that can be tried on (in Europe), otherwise online works as well.
Thanks!
