Should you always wear a belt with dress pants? For less formal occasions, it's really up to you to decide if you want the extra polish a belt provides.

Should I wear a belt if I have no waist?

If you have no waist and consider yourself boxy, wearing a skinny belt can actually exploit and draw attention to this lack of shape. The exception to this rule is if you wear a skinny belt with a piece of clothing that HAS shape and creates shape on your frame like an A-line skirt or peplum blazer.
