Okay so I caved and bought this Y2K style belt after seeing it all over my feed. The aesthetic is 100% there - the glossy PU leather and chunky buckle give major retro vibes.

The good: It's super easy to put on/take off (no struggling with stiff leather here). The width fits perfectly in standard belt loops. And at first glance, the quality seems decent for the price.

The not-so-good: That little belt holder thingy? Yeah it falls off constantly. Also saw some reviews where buckles snapped (yikes). Mine's holding up so far but now I'm nervous.

Size warning! I'm usually a 28in waist and this fits with room to spare, but multiple reviews say it runs small. If you're above a 32in waist, this probably won't work.

Final thoughts: Cute for the 'gram but maybe not for daily wear. Giving it 3.5/5 stars because when it works, it WORKS - just don't expect it to last forever.
