My girlfriend bought me some new ties and a reversible belt for Christmas? Should I wear or not? I am not a fan of them.

Great for kids. Trashy for adults.

Ask her what her thoughts are as to becoming a lesbian and base your decision on her answer.

Really? I don't think. Seems efficient to me unless you're wearing $1500 suit, which I doubt few if any of this board's visitors do.

Eventually they get all cracked up from it being two pieces of leather, assuming you're talking about a belt to wear with suits or dress pants. I've had a couple of them, and only one is still usable. I only wear it on the brown side though. I have plenty of black leather belts.

That being said, I do have a nylon fabric reversible belt that is awesome. I bought it mainly to wear with jeans and shorts though, so only after work in the summer or on the weekends. It is a gun belt.

I would never wear a reversible belt with my khaki's and Target blazer.

The ones I've had in the past always seem to wear out quicker. Maybe I was just rough on my belts when I was younger.

If you don't like kt, don't wear it.

Sounds like she doesn't like you anyway, so it may be a good way to break it off. I mean, ties and a reversible belt? Sounds like a "mom didn't know what to get" gift.

How would it be trashy. I’ve used reversible belts for the last 10 years or so. Assuming it’s a good quality, name brand belt, I see nothing trashy about it at all.

Kenneth Cole made a nice belt that's reversible that I wear every day. Nothing is a bigger waste of money than a belt that costs $150 that isn't made of pure, raw hide leather.

They all wear through eventually except leather.

If you buy the type that has the pivot buckle, who would know?

I'm not going to say that I don't own one, but they do suck compared to a genuine leather belt. One side always starts to delaminate rather quickly, so that gain in cost efficiency will just be offset by having to buy them more frequently.

I don't think it's possible to make a full grain reversible belt... Unless it's the same on both sides. That's why they crack and always look like shite.

Why on earth would they be trashy? Nobody can tell it’s reversible
