Yes, you should wear braces (suspenders) anytime you are wearing a tuxedo, weather you're wearing a cummerbund, vest or going with the exposed waist look. You do not wear a belt with a tuxedo, and this is the only way to keep your trousers at your waistline.
You wear it over your braces (suspenders).
That is the only way to wear a tuxedo properly! The suspenders (braces) are buttoned in an they help the pants (trousers) hang correctly. The cummerbund should be worn semi-tight and with pleats up. It is put on after the braces are in place and it covers the waistband. If you choose to wear a vest, you should also wear braces even though they will be hidden.
nobody should wear a cummerbund, unless you're from the 80s.
No, one or the other since they do the same thing, generally you use suspenders if your pantss do not have belt loops. However, someone could wear both as a personal preference. No, if you will wear suspenders only, and belts only. Visit Hold Up Suspenders Co. for more info about suspenders.
You should always wear a cummerbund when dressed in formal attire, for a black tie event. When you wear a single breasted jacket, cover the waist with a cummerbund or vest.
a cummerbund is worn below your waist. It should hide the top of your trousers.

One of his suspenders snapped.European firefighters do not wear suspenders because their trousers actually fit them.Have you seen my suspenders? The ones with the snowflakes on them?
I know why firemen wear red suspenders.
Around your waist
The cummerbund is worn around the waist, covering the waistband of the tuxedo pants and the bottom of the shirt. The pleats should face upwards.
Louis is the one who's known for wearing suspenders :)
