The correlation between this pandemic and buying belts, Quartz newsletter explains: "Well, not the size of waistlines, but the need to cinch pants around them. Belt sales have taken a hit from the pandemic. In countries such as the US and UK, consumers who are buying pants are frequently opting for stretchy, comfortable styles rather than structured and rigid ones. You don’t need a belt when your pants have an elastic waistband—if you’re wearing pants at all."
