Is it just me or are suspenders way more comfortable and?
Is it just me or are suspenders way more comfortable and /fashion/ than belts? I’m never going back to belts after this re-discovery.

When I was a kid (you know, the only acceptable age to wear suspenders) I was always terrified they would snap back and hit me in the face.

How so. What if you are a power/energy trader, doesn’t your job justify that look then?
Is he playing john arnold or what?
Traders wear gillets these days catch up
If you wear button suspenders you wouldn’t have that problem
you can also look like an 80s yuppie which i like a lot.
those are braces you moron, not suspenders
>Suspenders (American English, Canadian English), or braces (British English, Australian English)
What do New Zealanders call them?
Like sweater vests, suspenders are not something that people are supposed to ever see on their own, they should be covered by a jacket.
Neither are undershirts but tons of people wear t-shirts every single day
“Like sweater vests” never heard of this stupid menswear “rule”, I think your making this up.
Not him, but you know jack shit about menswear. Pick up a book, moron.
absolutely more comfortable than belts
suspenders are kinda cute in a victorian chimney sweep type of way
They’re better than belts in literally every way, it’s just stupid memes about "acceptability" (by who?) that stop people from wearing them
I wear them at work. Pretty comfy wearing jeans that are looser but at the same time don’t constrict your waist at all. Definitely useful if you load up your pockets with tools and stuff. Always get funny looks when I the shirt that I wear over them off, but I don’t care. Oh and I only wear that loop kind, the clips don’t really do shit if you’re actually trying to hold up your pants.
Shave that shit, you’re not the Mythbusters guy.

filson suspenders?
nah just some no name ones I thrifted
Working with tools is the only place it’s acceptable to wear suspenders. Yuppies and yuppy wannabees just look gay but I guess that’s what they’re going for.
People stopped wearing suspenders in favour of belts because of WW2 wherein soldiers wore belts and people became accustomed to that.
I think suspenders are overall better than belts, the only drawbacks are that it’s harder to pull your trousers down for the toilet, and you have to always have your shirt tucked in.
You absolutely must wear button suspenders, wearing clip on suspenders is like wearing a pre-tied tie, it’s just a gimmick, it doesn’t actually hold your trousers up, they can easily and will easily ping off.
No, clip-on suspenders work just fine. You don’t know what you’re talking about. They just look shit on 2010 hipsters wearing them with low-rise skinny jeans. If you wear them with pants that have a full rise they look perfectly respectable.
Braces make my shoulder hurt but i still wear them as they more effectively keep trousers up.
>People stopped wearing suspenders in favour of belts because of WW2 wherein soldiers wore belts and people became accustomed to that.
This is false, braces were still worn by the majority of soldiers in ww2, same with civilians, also clip ons were patented in the late 19th century, hardly a gimmick just another option.
It’s best without either
Braces generally shouldn’t be visible unless you are labouring while wearing them, they were considered underwear until relatively recent times. I personally only wear them when wearing a waistcoat, if i wear a two piece suit i wear a belt.
not sure about /fashion/ but ever since i got fat I stopped wearing belts and wear only suspenders now
I am 27 and skinnyfat, started going to gym couple of weeks ago but if that fails I am fully prepared to embrace pic related aesthetic unironically
