Let me start by saying this Y2K belt nails the aesthetic. The high-gloss PU leather looks exactly like the pictures—shiny, grunge-ready, and perfect for that early 2000s revival outfit. I wore it with low-rise jeans and a crop top, and it definitely pulled the look together.

The width (3.8cm) is ideal—not too chunky, not too skinny—and slides easily through belt loops. I particularly love the buttonhead design; it’s that subtle retro touch that makes it stand out from basic belts. The buckle feels sturdy at first glance, and the matte alloy has a nice weight to it.

BUT (and this is a big but), I noticed issues after a week of wear. That little belt holder loop? Gone. It fell off during my commute. Also, while the PU leather feels soft initially, I’m skeptical about long-term durability—it already has minor scuffs from daily use.

Sizing is TRICKY. At 105cm length, it fits my 28in waist comfortably on the middle hole, but reviewers with 36in waists found it way too short. Measure twice!

Final verdict? Great for fashion shots or occasional wear, but don’t expect heavy-duty quality. If you’re rough on accessories or need an everyday belt, maybe pass. For $15 though? Not bad for the ‘gram.
