NGL, This $58 Madewell Belt Is Maybe My Best Buy of the Season So Far
Earlier this season, I tasked myself with trying on as many viral-status belts as I could get my hands on in an effort to determine which ones were actually worth the hype. I narrowed it down to just five, one of which was a $58 Madewell belt with a chunky, jewelry-like buckle that, in the weeks since, has only grown more internet-famous. Currently, it qualifies as a best seller on Madewell's website with 4.2 out of 5 stars and a dozen reviews. "I'm obsessed with this belt," one reviewer wrote. "I ordered [it] in both colors. Some reviews say it's stiff, which it is, but I prefer that. It makes it look more high-end." And as someone who's worn the genuine Italian leather belt on multiple occasions, I couldn't agree more.
With its fame only growing by the day, I commend Madewell for jumping at the chance to drop three new color options in the affordable accessory: red-and-silver, ivory-and-silver, and black-and-gold. And yes, you (and I) need all three. Before the masses find out about these fresh arrivals and bring about a sellout of your desired color, scroll down to shop the entire selection of Madewell's viral chunky leather belts. Trust me, this will be $58 that's well spent.

Madewell's Harlow jeans are a fan favorite, so I can only assume that this new airy-denim version will soon become just as beloved.
More than 1000 people added this sweater to their shopping carts this week.
I'm such a sucker for anything I can throw on and not have to think about.
The hardware on this shoulder bag makes it look 10 times pricier.
A classic pair of '90s straight-leg denim will never go out of style.
These cat-eye sunglasses could easily be $200+ and I wouldn't question it.
I got a pair of these last summer and cannot wait to break them out again in 2024.
Sundresses like this one will become the backbone of your summer wardrobe.
Throw these on with whatever top-and-shoe combo you want. They'll look incredible.
