Hey guys so I'm a consultant y2 at D and really wanted to get a Ferragamo belt (worth $400) but my GF feels I'm too young in my career to wear such brands at work and it will look snobbish. Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with it. No one can / should judge you for liking nicer things. Will last you a lifetime as well. I'd still find a good deal and not pay full price.

Just take a fun trip to China a grab a fake one while you are there. Get the fun of a vacation and the belt is a bonus.

Waste of money - spend it on shoes that will last you instead.

Depends. Some of their belts are really flashy / gaudy. That said, I've worn their loafers for years, but never pay full price.
