OK, so I'm on a 4-day trip. I packed 2 pants (Charcoal and Tan) and two pair of shoes (black and dark brown). Unfortunately I only brought a brown belt. Should I wear brown belt / black shoes or no belt with the gray pants?

Don't want to wear the brown shoes 4 days in a row.

Black belt > no belt > brown belt

The belt is off. The pants are staying up just fine. I feel so British.

You can only do this if you also sing show tunes and dance.

If you are wearing a jacket, just wear the brown belt and tie your tie a touch longer. Nobody will care.

Exactly. No big deal.
