Can You Wear a Leather Belt for a First Date?
For a first date over dinner or drinks, a Leather Belt should read as intentional but low-key—cinching a Midi Dress to define shape without looking overdone, or finishing off Skinny Jeans and a Blazer so the outfit reads polished, not stiff. The goal is to look put-together in a way that feels effortless, not like you tried too hard.
