How it's used
Refers specifically to a waist belt made of leather or synthetic leather, rather than a fabric belt or a seatbelt. While it is a common noun, it is frequently used in the context of dressing up or checking one's appearance before heading out. The term is straightforward and carries no hidden slang meanings in standard daily usage.

Common mistake
Avoid using it for a seatbelt, which is called 安全帶. Learners sometimes mistakenly use it for any type of strap, but it is strictly for the accessory worn around the waist.
