For some executive protection details, female EP agents are required to wear suits. We previously discussed how to select the perfect suit jacket or blazer; however, we now need to talk about the other half of the suit equation. For these, nuanced considerations like length, fabric, style, flare, waist cut, and waistband style, including belt loops, are key for optimal functionality in executive protection.

Suit Pant Essentials for Female EP Agents

Pant Length: For EP agents, a straight leg with a subtle break at the top of the shoes strikes the right balance between projecting professionalism and allowing the agility required for dynamic job demands. If you are debating between a longer length pant and one with a subtle break - choose the subtle break. It's a classic and it is very practical in the field. Also, try not wear pants that are too short unless they are tailored to fall at the ankle. 

Pant Breaks: Full, Half, or None? In executive protection, a full break might offer a polished look but introduces potential hazards during swift movements. Opting for a slight break or none at all ensures a streamlined appearance, reducing the risk of unexpected snags during high-pressure situations on the job.

Flare and Practicality: While a fashionable flare might seem appealing, make sure to find the right balance. The flare shouldn't be wide enough to contact the other pant leg flare while walking. And obviously, wide leg pants are a hard no. The additional width of wide leg pants introduces the risk of snagging on objects or obstacles, especially in situations where discreet and swift movements are essential. 

Belt Loops: Supporting Your Essentials Belt loops are not just a design element; they are a functional necessity for a lot of executive protection professionals. Well-placed belt loops ensure the practicality of carrying essential tools and defense weapons (firearm, pepper spray, pocket knives, medical kits, etc...) without sacrificing the polished and professional appearance demanded by the executive protection field. 
 

That being said, if all you need is your firearm and you have an inside the waistband holster that clips to the waistband securely - you don't necessarily need to wear a belt or have pants with belt loops. As long as you are able to quickly access your security tools with ease, it's not an issue. 

If you are looking for a belt - there are many belt companies out that that offer sturdy belts that can easily carry firearms without sagging or flopping out; however, we like the Kore Essentials Executive Protection Belts. Here's why:

1. This belt offers a unique combination of functionality and style that is perfect for 
security agents who need to carry a substantial amount of gear.

2. It's similar to a battle belt in terms of gear capacity, but without the overt tactical look.

3. The top-grain brown leather and Reinforced Power-Core™ center make it both durable and professional-looking.
