Reversible, and worn solid brown side out. The first is too, "Look at me! I'm wearing a Louis Vuitton belt!" The second belt is luxe but more discreet. And you could wear it with just about anything. I think the size of the buckle is sexy, and unless someone is right down there at belt buckle level, they probably won't notice the LV inscription. [emoji2]
If I were styling a guy, I'd use the check side out when there were absolutely NO other even hints of designer stuff being worn or carried. I'd style the checks out with a pair of old chinos or Nantucket reds, or slightly frayed shorts, loafers- no socks. Tee or pressed shirt untucked. Totally unstudied--like you just threw it on because it happened to be lying on the floor when you rolled out of bed. Designer accessories are great as long as the look doesn't get too prissy. Lol--Obviously I'm in the minority here. Good luck and enjoy your new belt, whatever you decide!
