First off, the VLOGO. Ugh, that thing’s iconic. You see that V? You KNOW it’s Valentino. And honestly, sometimes that’s all you need, right? A little flash, a little recognition. It’s kinda like a bat signal for other fashion-conscious peeps. They’ll *know*.
Now, I’ve seen some people say, “Oh, it’s too loud, too much.” But honestly? I think it depends on how you rock it. Like, if you’re wearing a full-on logo-mania outfit, then yeah, maybe tone it down. But a simple black dress with a gold VLOGO belt? *Chef’s kiss*. Timeless.
And then there’s the leather. Oh my god, the leather. It’s buttery soft, like seriously, you could probably sleep with it (don’t actually do that). You can tell it’s the good stuff. The kind that’ll last you forever, probably outliving me, tbh. Plus, they have reversible ones! Black on one side, maybe a fun color on the other. Two belts for the price of… well, one *really* expensive belt. But hey, think of the cost per wear! (That’s what I tell myself, anyway).
I saw one on Neiman Marcus, I think? The V-Logo Reversible Leather Skinny Belt. “Skinny” is the key word. It’s not bulky, not trying too hard. Just a subtle statement. They were having a sale too, like a Friends & Family thing. 25% off? Um, yes please!
Honestly, sometimes I just browse NET-A-PORTER to drool over them. The selection is insane. You can get lost for hours just scrolling, dreaming of all the outfits you could create. And hey, it’s free to look, right?
The price is, well, let’s just say it’s an investment. You could buy a *lot* of fast-fashion belts for the cost of one Valentino. But those fast-fashion belts will probably fall apart after a few wears, or the buckle will scratch, or they’ll just look… cheap. And who wants that?
