Suspenders for men, why should you get them?

Because your pants shouldn’t be around your ankles. That’s one reason, but they’ve become quite the fashion item as well. Suspenders were first worn in the 18th century as an undergarment. Since the 1960s, they've become an overgarment for fashion purposes and can be worn in a variety of social scenarios.

As long as you aren’t wearing both suspenders and a belt, you can mix and match suspenders in all sorts of ways. The most common top to wear suspenders with is a color shirt, but there’s no reason you can’t rock a regular tee with suspenders either. They now come in various materials, colors and prints so you can buy a whole range if you like. If you're looking for a pair or two of cheap suspenders, choose colors and fabrics that match your most common shirt type.

Suspenders, men's new accessory

Suspenders can be awesome. When someone walks into a room confidently wearing suspenders, that's a memorable statement. If you can have that stylish aura around you while wearing suspenders, you're also creating a personal brand of sorts.

Buttons versus clips

Both are fine with whatever look you’re going for. Suspenders with buttons tend to be cleaner and tidier and if there aren’t any buttons on your pants, you can sew them on yourself. Clips can look hip with the major downside being that they may damage the waistband of your pants over time.
