In the right outfit, suspenders are very stylish. For others, suspenders are the difference between seeing pants or seeing the grand canyon, plumbers crack, ratty underware, or hairy bottoms. So if you see some extremely large man wearing suspenders and a nasty T-shirt, in the silence of your mind thank him for being considerate enough to make the effort to keep his pants up.

Only if you have the appropriate buttons on your trousers, clip on suspenders are about as stylish as a clip on tie.

I just saw the "gentleman" you are describing at the grocery store today. Even though he looked ridiculous, you have proven his point. I am now very grateful that he realized he needed a little help in keeping his "coin slot" covered. Therefore, I'm all for it.

I've never enjoyed wearing suspenders. It's just not my thing. With a properly tailored pair of slacks and a tasteful belt they are not needed so it seems pretentious to me. Fashion for fashion's sake.

When you get very old and gravity has done it's damage to your body, then get back to me on suspenders not needed.

I concur , I find it very sexy too. Same with proper shirts worn with cufflinks . Sadly a little too rare nowadays though.

I always smile at the word "suspenders" though as in English it means your "garter belt" ( the English word for "suspenders" is "braces") . I always imagine some hunky guy in a garter belt !

I wore them for years when I was a stock broker, it kinda went with the job too. They are far more comfortable than a belt I still wear them with jeans.

I love suspenders. It will go great with my shirt and tie selection.

But I have an age and ambition target for it. I'll do the suspender thing only when my paycheque swells, I have a thousand people reporting to me and they pick me up in a lincoln every time
