The answer is that it depends on the emphasis.

I will explain through dialogue.

It is a true statement in this usage:
A: I never wear a belt when I wear sweatpants
B: Kian always wears a belt with sweatpants.

It is false in this usage:
A: Kian always dresses funny.
B: I know, right? He always wears a belt with sweatpants.

amirite
