How to Properly Wear Men's Suspenders?
One men’s accessory that never goes out of style is the
suspenders. Suspenders are also known as braces. Suspenders are
preferred by some men over belts, because the former holds the
pants up more comfortably both sitting and standing. On the other
hand, some men choose to wear suspenders just for being extra
stylish in their wardrobes. If you are planning of wearing
suspenders, there are some things that you might want to consider
first, so that you will know if wearing suspenders will suit your
style and your taste.
• Choose the appropriate suspenders for your clothing. In
general, there are different types of suspenders. If you’re
planning to wear suspenders on a business suit, you should not
choose clip-on suspenders. For business suits, suspenders should be
made of silk and should have button holes for attaching to the
pants. Aside from that, the color of your suspenders should also
match your overall outfit.
• Ensure that your pants have interior buttons. If you’re
planning to wear suspenders, make sure that your pants have
interior buttons where you will attach your suspenders. If your
pants do not have interior buttons, you can look for a pair of
bachelor buttons. These bachelor buttons are accessories that
modify pants so that suspenders can be used.
• Button the suspenders onto the pants. Normally, suspenders
have one attachment button at the back and two in front. Before
putting on your pants, you should attach the center back
button.
• Put your pants on and pull the suspenders over your shoulders.
Attach the buttons in front and adjust the suspenders to make sure
that they fit comfortably. You should not over adjust it in a way
that your pants end up in an uncomfortable position.
In wearing suspenders with a formal outfit, you should make sure
that your suspenders compliment your tie, but it doesn’t
necessarily mean that it matches exactly. Make sure that your
suspenders do not pull your pants up too much that it becomes
uncomfortable to wear.
