Wanna spruce up the look of your fantasy/RPG character? Just add an extra belt, preferably one with a nice, big buckle. What? Your character already has one? Just add another, draped casually across their hips! While you're at it, wrap two or three of them around their shin, and another four over their sleeves. Oh, and we can't forget two more making a big X on their chest... So what if they're not attached to anything? Decorate the belts with [[Power Crystal
You're done! Well... maybe just ONE more...

* The [[wikipedia:J-Crown|J-Crown]], the union of 8 different light-heavyweight [[Professional Wrestling]] championships from eight different companies MPW, NJPW, WDF, CMLL, UWA, WAR, WWA and WWF, which was represented by [http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/graphics/J-Crown.jpg the champ wearing all eight belts. At once.] As if this wasn't enough to lose the average wrestler in a sea of leather and gold, Ultimo Dragon was already the NWA World Middleweight Champion and won both the WAR World Six-Man Tag Team Championship and the [[WCW]] Cruiserweight Championship while also holding the J-Crown, giving him ''11'' championship belts to schlep around. Interestingly, one of the belts in the J-Crown was the [[WWF]] Light-Heavyweight Championship, making Ultimo Dragon the only man to hold both a WWF and WCW championship simultaneously until the latter was bought out by the former in 2001, although the WWF did not acknowledge the Light-Heavyweight Championship at the time.
* In 2007, [[Kurt Angle]] simultaneously held the TNA heavyweight, X Division, and tag belts <ref>by himself, due to a couple of [[Gimmick Matches]]; Sting won another one to become Angle's partner</ref> and the (IGF) IWGP title. It really ''was'' too many belts - he had to defend all three TNA titles at the next PPV, and lost two of them.
** And he pulled a similar gimmick back in 2000, holding the Intercontinental <ref>North and South America</ref> and European belts, and losing both in a two-fall Triple Threat match against [[Chris Benoit]] and [[Chris Jericho]]
* In 2009, [[The Miz]] was both the United States champion and one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, meaning at one point, he carried ''three'' belts to the ring; one on his waist and one draped over each shoulder.
Line 174:
** Peace officers routinely wear two belts: one to hold their pants up, plus a much heavier duty belt carrying their equipment and pistol. The two are typically fastened together with snap-loops.
** Officers of the United States Marine Corps. are authorized to wear a Sam Browne belt (with included shoulder strap) to carry their sword for ceremonial use.
* Some belts are specifically made to look as if they are two or three separate
* The [http://www.newrockboots.com/index.php/collections/metallic-power.html Metallic Power] line of New Rock shoes definitely evokes this trope for most of the boots.
* [[Rule 34]]. This concept comes from fetish fashion and was adopted by the punk, goth and metal subcultures.
