Everyone Thinks My Outfits Are Designer When I Add This Entry-Level Luxury Accessory

If you’ve taken a peek at the luxury scene in recent seasons, you may have noticed that one microtrend in particular has been on the rise. Slowly but surely, the designer logo belt has made its way back into the zeitgeist. After years of rising and falling in popularity, we’ve finally hit a sweet spot that perfectly balances the playful wink to luxury without being ostentatious. And one logo in particular is accenting stylish outfits across the globe. Now, the Saint Laurent Cassandre belt is one of the most coveted entry-level luxury buys.

When it comes to the biggest design houses around, all the key players have a signifying icon that informs us of a piece’s origin. Chanel’s double C has become almost as iconic as the flap bag, whilst Prada’s triangle makes a noticeable luxury link even without the brand’s name. For Saint Laurent, it’s the Cassandre. The layered initials of YSL remain a key reference in denoting the luxurious provenance of the brand's pieces, accenting all styles from the beloved Le Loafers to acting as a closure on some of Saint Laurent’s best bags.

The return of the logo belt has been a subtle one. For me, the size of the iconography is what keeps it from looking overt; instead, the small stature is perfectly formed to nod to a luxurious accent, even when paired with more affordable outfits. The Cassandre belt does this seamlessly, taking all the classic features of a timeless belt and adding a touch of luxury that is whispered rather than shouted through the subtle YSL motif. Alongside, there’s a bold buckle style that incorporates Cassandre within the hardware, another style we’re consistently seeing on stylish people everywhere.

So, if you’re looking for an entry-level designer piece that will add a touch of luxury but doesn’t come in at four figures, you may want to scroll on to explore the Saint Laurent Cassandre belt.
