In schooling myself in the classic "rules" of menswear, I came to understand that a vest or odd waistcoat should never be worn with belt-top trousers (rather, only with side-adjusted trousers or proper fish-back trousers and braces). Not only does a belt create a horizontal division that is directly at odds with the potentially elongating effect of a waistcoat, but an exposed buckle is also a hick-ish distraction. Yet I see men wearing three-piece suits and other vested ensembles with belts ALL the time -- not only here, but in classic movies and other contexts where good taste is otherwise on display.
