Okay so this is one of those small yet crazy-making writer detail brain things and I have some of my own thoughts but. Out of sheer curiosity about other people's opinions. What do we think is holding up Imperial officers' trousers in Star Wars?

The belt is on the outside of the jacket so - do they have suspenders? Are the trousers personally tailored so you don't need a belt (which seems kind of inefficient for a monster-sized army)? Are they high-waisted enough that the belt on the outside actually does hold them up? Was whoever designed these uniforms a slave to fashion?

Cassian wears half an Imperial uniform for parts of Rogue One and while he's wearing the belt from his own rebel uniform over top of the pants, if you squint it sort of looks like there might be belt loops which suggests that the answer may in fact be "I was wearing a second, smaller belt underneath"???

Idk. Discuss.

#the imperials are also wearing vestigial cavalry uniforms which raises its own set of worldbuilding questions but that's another story #anyway 100 to 1 odds you can guess why i'm wondering this but. inquiring obsessive minds want to know.#obvs the real answer is 'the costume designers thought it looked good that way'
