Tips
history
帯 is a Japanese simplified (shinjitai) form of 帶 (and is also recorded as an old Chinese folk-simplified form). It is not used in standard written Chinese — the equivalent character is 带 (belt / to carry / to bring, as in 皮带 'a belt', 带来 'to bring').
register
Seen in Japanese contexts and old variant-form notes; a Chinese reader should use 带.
巾 the cloth radical at the bottom carries the core meaning — a belt or band is a strip of cloth.

top tied-band element
The top pictures a sash with ornaments hung from it. In the Japanese form it is simplified to a tidy comb-like shape, no longer a recognizable independent character on its own.
