Sukhchain Singh the only time you should be wearing a belt and suspenders together is for functional work wear i.e. suspenders with a tool belt. Otherwise it is one or the other. Remember they both share the same purpose, to hold up your pants. If you wear them together you will look like you don’t know how to dress. It may not matter if you are just out on the town, but if you do this in a business setting remember that you are always being judged by potential clients or employers and you can’t make a second first impression.
I have nerve damage in my left side due to a serious accident. This accident left me either wearing elastic waistband pants such as sweatpants (which I only wear around the house) or living with extra pain all day due to a belt cutting into me. I started wearing braces (or galluses as my grandfather called them) about a year and a half ago and they have been the answer to my problem and a stylish answer as well. I now have buttons sewn into every pair of trousers I buy and I am amassing quite a collection of styles and colors. I also am able to wear my trousers a bit looser in the waist, which I believe is correct when sizing them for braces, this also helps alleviate the pain from my waistband cutting into my side. This was a great article and video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Any other menswear videos that explore somewhat forgotten menswear items would be greatly appreciated.
Excellent video. As a professor, I have grown tired of standing in front of the class constantly pulling up my pants! I've pulled out my old dress braces, bought a couple of pairs of the Perry brand suspenders that clip to a belt from Duluth Trading Co. for casual wear and a nice heavy clip on work pair when I am welding or working on something. I had no idea that there was a type for under the shirt (although I thought that I might try that with my other suspenders), that set just came in today for me to try! Thanks again for the info! Dr. Jerry
Being a large man, i've been transfixed on this video for it's entirety. Now, getting a suspender here, from where i am at, is a tough thing. Not common at all. The only option is importing. But, great videos. Loving them. (pulling up my pants is a common thing which i do every 3 minutes. Man, you solved a big puzzle for me and i love you for that! :)
The older i get the harder it's to find good fitting pants and a good matching belt... I stumbled on one article about a gentleman who recommended using suspenders as a way to solve the problems generated by age (sudden vanishing of gluteal muscles!) your videos explaining differences and styles of suspenders and how to properly wear them are one amazing source of information and help to understand what is needed to do in order to rock suspenders with style and on the correct way!
Your pants will look better with suspenders. Another way of saying this is, you'll look better in the pants with suspenders. This is specially true in the formal pants.
I am a BIG FAN of suspenders. I wear them almost every day. My body is very straight from the waist to the hips and pants fall all the time. Even with a belt. I chose to make suspenders one of my fashion trademarks and I love them. Plus they make my pants hang so much more nicely. Thanks for the video!
I agree. Suspenders are not only good for larger guys, they also work very well for slim guys, because then your pants/jeans don't keep falling everytime you move around.
This video was awesome! I have been looking into wearing suspenders underneath my shirt and after watching this video I learned there are undergarment suspenders. Thanks so much for uploading!!!
I've never liked the "belt bulge" under untucked shirts in the hot summer months. Now I know about undergarment suspenders! Brilliant! Thank you so much.
I absolutely love your channel, because you explain the reason behind the style, not only show the style. This is very valuable as it helps people to understand WHY you should wear some clothes, what it represents and what it communicates - and this is very important for a stylish man.
I started wearing suits/"formal" clothing a handful of years ago, back in Uni, and after a while I finally managed to get suspenders, which was great, because I just love them since I was a child and had red and blue Mickey Mouse ones. What I like the most, is that usually my shirts will tend to move around less than with a belt, and that just made them even better for me. They're so rare around here though, that if it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't even know that there's buttoned ones though. Thanks Antonio.
After working for over 30 plus years in the funeral industry I always wore braces, (it might help to explain the difference instead of grouping them all together) I wore leather and silk due to the professional settings. Kept my pants in place with all the bending stooping and lifting in my day to day work. I also wore socks suspenders to avoid falling socks. I know there is a debate on either you should do this or not, but personally I preferred them, later on in my working life found shirt stay sock garters and they were great at doing what they needed to do kept my shirt always tucked in and my socks up. (if you do not know what they are go to Amazon and search for them and it is self explanatory)
I like braces (suspenders) they make suit trousers hang properly. My dad used to wear suspenders around his calves to keep his socks up. He also wore flexible metal bands, located approx around his biceps, to ensure the correct length of cuff showed.
there are also shirt stays that clip onto the tail of your shirt and then go down and clip onto your socks keeps your shirt tucked in always and also keeps your socks up you can find them easy on Amazon or any high end men's store or if you know someone in the military they get them them for you on post/base
I have found the ideal way to attach suspender buttons without sewing.The ''Perfect Fit Button'' is a metal button attached with a pin in the same way as a military badge,so they are removable.They were originally designed to enable people to widen their waistband,but i use them for my button suspenders.I originally used metal stud buttons you hammer together (aka 'bachelor buttons') but these are permanent & wrecked my pants,because i accidentally put them in the wrong place. The other difference to sewed buttons is you don't hide them inside the waistband,but outside it.I don't mind cause i actually think it looks better that way.
As a leatherworker, I found your video was very informational. I have had a few orders in for work suspenders and dress attire alike, and I am glad I stumbled across your channel. Thank you.
I wear suspenders because of what you could call a neurological issue. At the moment I am struggling with a disease called Meralgia Paraesthetica, also know as “Jeans Disease”. Saw an orthopedic surgeon to get to the bottom of where this shooting, searing pain in my right leg is coming from whenever I stand for longer than a few minutes. Was relieved it was not a spine problem but still. One of the ways to mitigate it, according to the doctor, is to wear looser fitting clothes to reduce pressure on the damaged nerve. My jeans tend to slip down when I am not wearing a belt so suspenders were a logical choice for me and it made a world of difference. This video has really helped me. I am still a long way away from having recovered but I can definitely tell that this matters. In my case this ailment goes back to a combination of having my belt on too tight, wearing a rather heavy and tight-fitting camera holster & equipment belt for extended periods of time as well as having a few extra pounds that I could do without. Sitting or walking is no problem - but standing still really kills me. Goes from feeling numb first, then it tingles, there’s some needles and pins and suddenly it’s like someone is slowly driving a red hot iron poker into my thigh. Sometimes it skips the intermediate steps and goes from numbness straight into hot iron poker territory.
The undergarment suspenders are made with an Ace bandage-like material that expands/contracts when moving and can pinch back hair. In those cases, you might want to consider wearing an undershirt tucked in, then the suspenders, and then a nice shirt worn outside the pants.
I'm a pretty skinny guy and i've always worn belts. the problem is belts can be very uncomfortable. epecially when the rub on the bony prominences on my waist, leaving them sore. that's why i've made the switch to suspenders.
So as far as wearing work suspenders that hook onto your belt, can you wear them casually when not doing work that makes you carry heavy stuff? Like, can they just be worn like regular suspenders?
i have to ask. cause i have a taste of mother dressing me like i was a 5 year old new born going to a christmas party with tree ornaments on the shirt. and im 30 what type of suspenders would work on a t shirt. (tshirt cause its always hot hear) and does leather work with it?
I've been wearing suspenders off and on a a while and button suspenders are the only way to go. Clip on invariably fail, often at the most inopportune time.
Great video! The only question I have is what style of suspenders should I wear to school? I am currently in high school and I dress up all the time. I wear dress shirts everyday and I have been wanting to wear suspenders for a long time now. Thanks!!
Proluvius great to hear from you - this article from Black Lapel should help: www.blacklapel.com/thecompass/suspenders-braces-for-men-menswear-suspenders-for-men/
I love this video! As a not so confident genderfluid person, I'd hate to ask questions like this in a store in fear of judgement. This really helped a lot in knowing what types there are and which one would be the best for me. :)
As a Brit this video was hilarious. Over here suspenders are an item worn by women to keep stockings up and are typically worn as a fetish item, and not usually by men! I honestly thought that the video was going to try to convince us guys to wear stockings and suspenders because they are more comfortable and stylish! Gave me a chuckle but also serves as a reminder to beware of cultural differences. Keep up the good work.
I find it wierd that most British people do not know what the British version of the word suspenders is. Suspenders are the American version of the word. Braces are the British version of the word. Suspenders in britain (short for suspender belt) are used to hold up socks or stockings. The American version of a suspender belt is a garter belt.
can you make another guide about how it should fit, i mean how much of stretch they should have cuz they're adjustable where the locks should situate in jeans and the adjustment mechanism should it be near the bellybutton or where.. and so on ?
Thank you for this RMRS. Not to be a plank, but the "s" in grosgrain is silent, hence: grō'grān. But you probably know this already, this having been uploaded 8 years ago.
these r awesome hope u r successful but can suspenders be worn during hand to hand gunfight battles and a spy work and stuff yes than an example would be appreciated
I like all your videos, but enjoyed this one a lot. Some of the things I knew, I was most surprised by the variety of fasteners and the pants end of the suspenders.
Hi Antonio, Any rules as far as colors of suspenders and wearing different color suits. An example would be, if I wear a British tan color oxfords, I would match with a British tan belt, same for black or dark brown color leather. Does this same rule apply to suspenders? Thanks - Ryan
Do you know if there is a style of the suspenders that doesn't cross in the back? I've been trying to find some but I can only find X backs and Y backs and didn't know what words to use to more accurately find what I need.
Will be attending a wedding and wearing a navy blue suit. A few questions for you... first, I'm planning on wearing a pink print bow tie and would like to match up dress/button suspenders. I would like to find a pair of suspenders with some pink in it. Would you recommend that combo or stick with solid navy suspenders? Thus far, haven't found any suspenders with pink so this may not be an option anyway. Second question, sort of off topic but does wearing a pink bow tie work on a bearded guy? I have a typical dark, full beard -- nothing long, but it does cover my entire cheeks, chin, and just below the jaw area. Should I go with a standard tie or would a bow tie in your option work? Thanks! Nick
I bought a pair of George brand adjustable suspenders at Walmart that are extremely annoying. I was never able to make the adjustment in size clip into place, so the adjusted size would be semi-permanent. So I was never able to try wearing them. I can't wait to take them back to Walmarts for a refund. WRZ 2021-09-03
Suspender is attached to the pant circumference at 3 points. These three points remains in place all the day long. I think that the remaining circumference of pant may sag and looks untidy. Isn't it?? Please guide how to resolve this issue.
I've honestly found that wearing suspenders are much more comfortable than a belt, at least for me. I don't have to worry about my suit pants or slacks riding down at all. and they honestly look great (if they're good quality).
Hey, Antonio! I'm a huge fan of your videos and really appreciated this particular one giving the background of suspenders. However, I'm still somewhat left in "suspense" (haha) in that I don't know how or when it's appropriate to wear suspenders/braces casually. Is it permissible to wear suspenders freely in the office with out a suit jacket? I work in a corporate setting and the dress code is considered "business casual." I also can't seem to find any videos on how to match patterned suspenders with bow ties or standard ties. Perhaps you can weigh in? Thanks in advance! Keep up the great videos!
I used to think suspenders were only used by like amish or old fashioned people or just weirdos. But honestly now i think they look very attractive on guys
Here's the thing Antonio, I'd wear suspenders to replace a belt as to not break the visual streamline and accentuate my shortness. But when it comes to casual wear I don't want to wear suspenders. Do I opt for a belt or just not wearing anything as my jeans and trousers fit well themselves? Also, would wearing pants with suspenders look good even though the trousers have belt loops?
***** If you want to make a statement. A belt divides the torso from the lower body. A belt can coordinate to a pair of shoes or make a bold statement with a contrasting color. Read more here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/choose-right-belt/
hi.. I usually wear low waist pants even for formal outfit also.. so, wil it b ok nd comfortable to use suspenders.. coz it might pull up my pant above waist r make it look like mid waist pant...and I won't prefer wearing midwaist or high waist.. can somebody answer my query...?
Soo if u rent a tux or a suit at idk Men's Warehouse they give u suspenders or would u have to buy dem cause I'm trying to have like an old gangster look for prom and I want to wear suspenders and I'm not sure if I could rent dem with the suit or buy them
Suspenders are a need for me because I just wear them but don't need them I made the a every day thing by wearing them down but I'm in 6th grade so what do I know
Hey, Hopefully you reply, I'm trying to find retail locations or even websites selling leather Suspenders not majorly thick but not majorly thin, I commonly wear braces these days but want a more country styled look but can't seem to find any stores that produce these kinds do you know of any websites that do?
I need to hold up my pistol duty belt and sidearm under my suit jacket because the weight makes my pants droop to one side, and I need it to be ultra secure.
I wear suspenders under my suit most days however I don't want to wear a jacket in the summer time. All of my shirts, even extra slim fit, bulge out. How do i fix this?
Excellent video. I am built like a barrel and have trouble keeping my pants up with a belt. I have a pair of the undergarment suspenders from Duluth Trading Co., and they work great. I would wear outside suspenders, but they look too "hipster" (the most hated form of life on the planet) when you where them with jeans. Either that or people accuse you of being a "lumbersexual".
If you could get back to me that would be awesome! I'm 17 and i've been watching your videos for fashion ideas. I'm somewhat bigger than most and short (225 lbs and around 5ft 7in-8in) and I'm looking for good styles. Would a simple two piece suit with suspenders be good for a nice school casual?
Darth Puma A sport coat or suit jacket is almost always a flattering effect for a heavyset man. Dark-colored trousers will also hide detailing like cuffs and pleats better, making for an overall smoother appearance than kahkis or light-colored jeans. Suspenders will help make a particularly clean drape, and eliminates the line of a belt cutting your height in half as well. Read more here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/short-broad-stout-clothing-men/

Its better to not

So did I
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
Me too.
I used to think that way, until I bought my first pair, and now I am addicted to suspenders!

I like very much to wear suspender , because this is very OSM looking for a men.😘😍👌
05:20 What model are those suspenders? Duluth doesn't show them? I need something that the belt can pass through.
Where can I buy non-Y suspenders from?
Can't find them in the UK! Only Y suspenders (the back clip not holding my pants!)
You can find suspenders now that have very secure hooks that you attach to your belt loops. Those are all I buy now.
Never expected to find this on the internet. Thanks soooo much, good stuff!
Is it okay to wear suspender as outfit...or it should be undergarment??
Also is it okay to wear tie and suspender as outfit??
So as far as wearing work suspenders that hook onto your belt, can you wear them casually when not doing work that makes you carry heavy stuff? Like, can they just be worn like regular suspenders?
Do you have any advice on how a holster could fit on suspenders and concealed with a vest or jacket?
pretty useful, I want to shift into wearing suspenders to work with suits, I have a weight problem and they look cool.
i have to ask.
cause i have a taste of mother dressing me like i was a 5 year old new born going to a christmas party with tree ornaments on the shirt.
and im 30
what type of suspenders would work on a t shirt. (tshirt cause its always hot hear) and does leather work with it?

MetusBatmanV4 glad you liked it!
Exactly the advice I needed before ordering my first pair. "Biting" suspenders. Who even knew?
Hallo thanks for the educational insight about the different types of suspenders
My dad has spinal stenosis, so suspenders are necessary for pain control. If you have suggestions, please let us know.
Great video! The only question I have is what style of suspenders should I wear to school? I am currently in high school and I dress up all the time. I wear dress shirts everyday and I have been wanting to wear suspenders for a long time now. Thanks!!

Great informations! Thank you

My son wears them to school in New Zealand to hold up long socks. Pretty normal in NZ
Antonio.. good one.. adding to his point.. never wear leather belt with suspenders.. common mistakes people do..
I use bungee cords. And they come in many different colors.
Antonio what do you think about wearing suspenders with dress shirts and pants even when you are not wearing a suit or jacket? I feel comfortable
I love this video! As a not so confident genderfluid person, I'd hate to ask questions like this in a store in fear of judgement. This really helped a lot in knowing what types there are and which one would be the best for me. :)
As fellow genderfluid person, hi! And also same, it's incredibly intimidating for me as I look female, and it's very easy to be judged

I look quite androgynous overall, but as soon as I talk people will assume I’m a woman, it sucks.

I have a Y-brace and an X-brace for when I dress up but after the video I may consider an under garment brace for when I'm not working.

Do you know if there is a style of the suspenders that doesn't cross in the back? I've been trying to find some but I can only find X backs and Y backs and didn't know what words to use to more accurately find what I need.
Perfect video, definitely subscribing keep up the good work
Gerardo Navarro Thank you Gerardo!

Will be attending a wedding and wearing a navy blue suit. A few questions for you... first, I'm planning on wearing a pink print bow tie and would like to match up dress/button suspenders. I would like to find a pair of suspenders with some pink in it. Would you recommend that combo or stick with solid navy suspenders? Thus far, haven't found any suspenders with pink so this may not be an option anyway. Second question, sort of off topic but does wearing a pink bow tie work on a bearded guy? I have a typical dark, full beard -- nothing long, but it does cover my entire cheeks, chin, and just below the jaw area. Should I go with a standard tie or would a bow tie in your option work? Thanks!

I bought a pair of George brand adjustable suspenders at Walmart that are
extremely annoying. I was never able to make the adjustment in size clip
into place, so the adjusted size would be semi-permanent. So I was never
able to try wearing them. I can't wait to take them back to Walmarts for a refund.

Very informative thank you. I just subscribed.
I started wearing suspenders a few months ago
Suspender is attached to the pant circumference at 3 points. These three points remains in place all the day long. I think that the remaining circumference of pant may sag and looks untidy. Isn't it??
Please guide how to resolve this issue.
I've honestly found that wearing suspenders are much more comfortable than a belt, at least for me. I don't have to worry about my suit pants or slacks riding down at all. and they honestly look great (if they're good quality).
+Joshua Gill true enough
Hey, Antonio! I'm a huge fan of your videos and really appreciated this particular one giving the background of suspenders. However, I'm still somewhat left in "suspense" (haha) in that I don't know how or when it's appropriate to wear suspenders/braces casually. Is it permissible to wear suspenders freely in the office with out a suit jacket? I work in a corporate setting and the dress code is considered "business casual." I also can't seem to find any videos on how to match patterned suspenders with bow ties or standard ties. Perhaps you can weigh in? Thanks in advance! Keep up the great videos!
Adam Zaloga great hearing from you - this article should help: www.blacklapel.com/thecompass/suspenders-braces-for-men-menswear-suspenders-for-men/
I used to think suspenders were only used by like amish or old fashioned people or just weirdos. But honestly now i think they look very attractive on guys
Here's the thing Antonio, I'd wear suspenders to replace a belt as to not break the visual streamline and accentuate my shortness. But when it comes to casual wear I don't want to wear suspenders. Do I opt for a belt or just not wearing anything as my jeans and trousers fit well themselves? Also, would wearing pants with suspenders look good even though the trousers have belt loops?
***** If you want to make a statement. A belt divides the torso from the lower body. A belt can coordinate to a pair of shoes or make a bold statement with a contrasting color.

Any recommendations on a good place to buy those? With international shipping preferably.
suspenders. com
Amazon.com. Maybe
Macy's. com
I want so many of these😂
Why do you think crew cut undershirts weren't able to escape from underwear status when showing underneath another shirt, but suspenders were?
Great advice and knowledge!
When do you think braided leather suspenders are appropriate to wear? Casual or business dress? When should I not wear them?
My thought is if it dark colour then you can use them in business as well as casual. If bright, then it is casual.
Very informative! Thank you!

How do you wear suspenders with a suit vest ?
Well explained. Nice job.
Runru Liu thanks!
Can you wear suspenders with a vest?
Soo if u rent a tux or a suit at idk Men's Warehouse they give u suspenders or would u have to buy dem cause I'm trying to have like an old gangster look for prom and I want to wear suspenders and I'm not sure if I could rent dem with the suit or buy them
Why was this in my recommended?? I actually really enjoyed the video tho.
I wanted this in my recommendation but it didn’t come up until I searched weird shit just to get the name for the suspenders name lmao
Suspenders are a need for me because I just wear them but don't need them I made the a every day thing by wearing them down but I'm in 6th grade so what do I know
Blue Nerd don't wear them everyday just every now and then
Blue Nerd actually depends if they are inside of your shirt then okay but outside every now and then
Hey, Hopefully you reply, I'm trying to find retail locations or even websites selling leather Suspenders not majorly thick but not majorly thin, I commonly wear braces these days but want a more country styled look but can't seem to find any stores that produce these kinds do you know of any websites that do?
Thanks,very good info and very good presentation .
I need to hold up my pistol duty belt and sidearm under my suit jacket because the weight makes my pants droop to one side, and I need it to be ultra secure.
I wear suspenders under my suit most days however I don't want to wear a jacket in the summer time. All of my shirts, even extra slim fit, bulge out. How do i fix this?
Excellent video. I am built like a barrel and have trouble keeping my pants up with a belt. I have a pair of the undergarment suspenders from Duluth Trading Co., and they work great. I would wear outside suspenders, but they look too "hipster" (the most hated form of life on the planet) when you where them with jeans. Either that or people accuse you of being a "lumbersexual".
Icebreaaker thank you!
If you could get back to me that would be awesome! I'm 17 and i've been watching your videos for fashion ideas. I'm somewhat bigger than most and short (225 lbs and around 5ft 7in-8in) and I'm looking for good styles. Would a simple two piece suit with suspenders be good for a nice school casual?
Darth Puma A sport coat or suit jacket is almost always a flattering effect for a heavyset man. Dark-colored trousers will also hide detailing like cuffs and pleats better, making for an overall smoother appearance than kahkis or light-colored jeans. Suspenders will help make a particularly clean drape, and eliminates the line of a belt cutting your height in half as well.
