Oh well...I don't wear one. I think we all look better without the belt. But I honestly can't think of a time when I have based a decision on someone's officiating ability on whether or not they were wearing a belt. And that includes camps where I have been a clinician, evaluating officials at State tournaments, etc.
Sometimes people not looking the "part" won't get a serious look in the first place.

Serious Look ...

Show up in my local area with the "whole package" but with even a small amount of white on your shoes and you'll still get a "serious look", but you will also be told to get rid of the white. Way back, when I was wearing Spot Built shoes, and they were shoes, not black sneakers, I was told to black out the very small white spot on the back of the heel. I did it because that's a local guideline, and to ignore the guideline would have certainly created some consequences for me, even if the white spot was acceptable in other parts of the country.
