Okay so I copped this Y2K belt after seeing it all over my feed and here's the tea ☕️
First off - the aesthetic is 100% accurate. That glossy pu leather gives major 2000s nostalgia and the buckle design is actually fire. It pairs perfectly with my low-rise jeans and crop tops 👌
Quality is... interesting? The belt itself feels decent - not too stiff but not flimsy either. However that little belt holder thingy? Yeah it falls off if you breathe on it wrong. And I saw some reviews about buckles breaking which has me side-eyeing the durability.
Sizing is WILD though. I'm usually a size 6 and had to punch extra holes to make it work. If you're above like a size 4, maybe reconsider unless you want a corset situation.
Final verdict: Cute for the 'gram but might not survive more than a few nights out. 7/10 for style, 5/10 for longevity.
