From my experience, the smart part is not the material itself, but how you use it. Leather, for example, can look outdated or timeless depending on the design and fit. I used to buy cheap accessories and replace them every year, which was honestly more annoying than practical. Over time I switched to fewer, better-made pieces that work with different outfits. When I was browsing Bleak&Sleek, I noticed how classic leather belts can still feel modern if the cut and details are right
