You have probably noticed but never appreciated that men don't usually have big hips to keep our pants up (or more specifically our waists and hips tend to be very close to the same size). Some men do, but even well fitting pants slide down on me without a belt. My wife is always amazed when we take our measurements and the hip to waist ratio is so wildly different. She's like "I knew women's hips were bigger but Jesus Christ".

I mean I'm trans and even though I have massive hips to keep my pants on, wearing a belt still helps me pass better since they're so ubiquitous

That's fascinating! Especially given thread-OP's comment.

Are there any other fashion-related things you've noticed like that?

I'd say the main other thing I've noticed would be angular, (like a sharper rectangle) smaller glasses, since they sit in front of your browline and (I think) make it more pronounced, at least at a glance.

That's purposeful I think. The difference between men and women's glasses is fairly subtle, but I have definitely noticed that men's glasses lend a more masculine look to someone and women's glasses lend a more feminine look to someone.

Also the buttons and zippers on pants that aren't jeans are usually kinda flimsy, so the belt gives an extra layer of security ._.
