Works well with jeans only. The belt width is too big for dress pants unless the loops are larger and I figured for me it wasn't the case.  The elastic did stretch a little too much and after wearing it, the belt had a weird buldge wear it stretched out. The elastic itself was a very sturdy material that worked great holding up my jeans in place. The belt was truly hidden and you couldn't tell I had one on unless the shirt was short or you bent over and the shirt went up. It was expensive for this material and belt style. I could get a designer belt at a discount store this price.  What made me like this belt was the hidden look to it. Didn't have a thick leather material like a belt would and a heavy buckle.
