My Coworker Pointed Out Today That My Buttcrack was Showing. Oh, Dear God, I Think That I Need Help

How do I stop this from happening? I wear straight leg gap jeans, and my weight fluctuates a good bit. Sometimes I wear a belt, and maybe I should be wearing one more frequently. My jeans rest above my hips typically when I put them on, but sometimes end up sagging lower and lower throughout the day. I don't want to be the guy whose butt is out at work. Please help me.

A huge pet peeve of mine. Not the butt crack showing, but not wearing a belt. Pants with belt loops were meant to be worn with a belt. They're there for a reason.

Get some pants with a higher rise, pull them up to proper height, and strap them up with a belt. You'll be good after that

I wear shorts with belt loops. What kind of belt do they need? A leather belt that I wear with jeans would look funny, I think.

Leather belts are the most common type and won't look out of place. I wear a leather belt 7 days a week with varying degrees of formality.

Edit: Thinner belts are more formal and thicker belts are less formal.

What kind of belt do they need?

Like for summer with casual brightly colored shorts? Usually weave belts are more casual in this scenario...I have a few of these canvas belts.

You can wear longer shirts or a lightweight jacket to cover your rear so that even if your pants show crack it's covered by your shirt. Higher waist, looser fit pants can help though they aren't generally considered very fashionable at the moment. A pair with extra rise to it will allow you to bend without the rear end of the pants pulling down as far. Wearing suspenders can also help to hold your pants up even better than a belt if you've got a gut.

Pants with higher rear rise(14 inch at least for jeans), always wear a belt, get some undershirts you can tuck in.

Agree. Wear your jeans up on the hip bone. This is why I don't buy low rise jeans.

I think weight maintenance is the key thing here. In my experience even jeans that fit my formerly fat form crept down to expose my "cleftal horizon."

aka "weightenance", because I just decided it was.

Get jeans with a higher rise and/or wear a belt

My advice for this would just to have decent underwear like boxer briefs that won't fall down. That way even if your pants fall, the bum is still covered
