See, I was scrolling through FARFETCH the other day (as one does, when procrastinating from, uh, important things) and saw these Miu Miu belts. Specifically, the leather ones. And honestly? They just *hit different*. Like, you know how some belts are just… *there*? Holding your pants up (hopefully)? These are like, statements. Big, bold, “I have taste and disposable income” statements.
Apparently, Miu Miu is known for their belts. Who knew? Suede and leather styles, the description says. I’m more of a leather gal myself. I mean, imagine a thick, black leather belt cinching a micro skirt. Yeah, *that’s* the vibe. The “designer women’s belt” description gets it. It just *gets* it!
But like, I’ve also seen the black nappa leather belt they’ve got. And okay, that’s where things get interesting. “Versatile, functional, casual, or elegant,” the description says. Which is, like, a load of marketing speak, right? But hear me out. Nappa leather? That stuff is *soft*. Like, ridiculously soft. So you *could* wear it with a ballgown (elegant, check), or you could, y’know, throw it on with jeans and a t-shirt (casual, check). It’s the kind of belt that works double duty.
The thing is, Miu Miu ain’t cheap. Let’s be real. But, (and this is my personal opinion, okay?), sometimes it’s worth it to invest in something that makes you feel like a million bucks. Especially if it’s a good quality leather belt.
And okay, I also saw something about a Miu Miu black leather coated canvas utility belt from their spring 2001 show… Miuccia Prada was apparently obsessed with belts back then. Okay, *who isn’t*? Belts are the unsung heroes of fashion. I mean, they can totally transform an outfit, right? And utility belt? That sounds cool, functional, and a little bit edgy. But that was a loong time ago, so, I dunno, maybe it’s more of a vintage treasure hunt type of thing these days.
