Suspenders aren’t just for old men anymore. There are plenty of ways to use braces (another word for suspenders) with style, and many people find them more comfortable than belts when it comes to keeping your pants above your knees. The trick to looking stylish in suspenders comes not from the suspenders themselves, but from the way you wear them – the duds, the accessories, and most importantly, the attitude.

How to Wear Formal Suspenders with Style

•When you’re putting together a formal look which includes suspenders, clip-ons won’t cut it. Formal suspenders are usually made of silk, and will have button holes (instead of clips) to attach to the pants.

•Formal pants made to be worn with suspenders will, obviously, have no belt loops. They’ll also have buttons inside the waistline for attaching the suspenders to the pants. If you’d like to wear suspenders with pants that aren’t made to be worn with them, buy yourself some "bachelor buttons." Bachelor buttons are simply accessories that allow you to adapt your pants to be worn with suspenders.

•A bowtie makes a great accompaniment to suspenders, and gives you a chance to add a small bit of acceptable flair to an outfit that is traditionally boring. As it goes with the suspenders, so it goes for the bowtie – unless you’re known as the office clown, get yourself a real bowtie and learn how to tie it. Perhaps others would notice a clip-on, or perhaps they wouldn’t, but it’s just not worth the risk.

•Make sure that the suspenders complement the rest of your outfit. While they shouldn’t match your tie or bowtie exactly, they should harmonize well with its color.

•Don’t adjust the suspenders so that they hold your pants up any higher than is comfortable, or than you usually wear them. The consequences of disregarding this rule are obvious.

•Finally, never wear a belt with suspenders. Ideally, the pants you wear with the suspenders won’t even have belt loops, but if they do, don’t use them. Formal occasions are no place to make edgy fashion statements.

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.
