>Is it stupid to buy a 5 dollar knock off of 300 dollar shit if it looks the same?
though youre paying for the name too, its $300 because its made of decent materials that wont fall apart the first time you wear it

> but I feel like if I wear it I'm going to either get shit or sad looks
dress how you want the world to see you, strangers dont care what you wear

>Honestly how tacky is this
its the definition of tacky

belt costs more like ~$1000
you will look tacky, but worse; fake tacky

What's the point of average people buying the expensive version when everyone knows you're going broke over it

>>10922379
Depends on your surrounding culture. If you live in an area where hip hop is the influence, you have your answer. People will go broke over a belt to prove they aren't broke because I dunno. People are stupid.

That belt is a lot more than 300$ OP, it will look like shitty garbage if you buy a fake. I'd rather you buy a real belt from walmart than a fake Hermes belt.

That's the thing: there is no point. It's a sign of wealth; it's high end luxury. It's partly priced so high that it can be labelled as such.

If this belt wasn't luxurious the average person wouldn't yearn for it; it's a fucking tacky big gold H for goodness sakes. That being said, the average person is tricked into thinking that by buying this they are lifting their status symbol up, or that they are buying into the wealthy "lifestyle."

Let the wealthy spend their money on stupid wealth symbols; don't be a plebeian by wanting what the wealthy can have just because you want to be seen as such too.

Well how can I dress like that without spending the money? Like similar fashion just cheaper brands. I don't really hear any brands thrown out there besides Ralph Lauren and Louis and gucci

I just want shit that looks cool I don't really care about brands too much it's just the expensive shit is all I can find

It will look cheap and likely fall apart within a month or two
Also, Hermes belts look disgusting anyway

for five dollars the qualitty is going to be pure shit, for like 20-30 you can get one thats on par with the actual thing, those belts are made to pump money out of new money peeps anyway, i consider anyone who owns one a retard, be it fake or real, cant decide wich one is worse

Yeah this fake shit is gay what the hell brands should I get if I just want it to look cool I don't care who's name is on it
