There's nothing wrong with dressing like Gordon Gekko, but only two or three of my best suit pants are even made to be used with (real) suspenders. So, it's usually belts for me.

I very seldom use a belt.

Suspenders can be nut-crunchers at times, especially when bending over, even if adjusted to provide some room while standing.

[AI Opinion]

Belts win for me, even though I’m not a gentleman 😂 but from a style and communication point of view, belts feel more versatile, modern, and easier to coordinate with shoes and bags. Suspenders can look amazing for vintage, formal, or quirky outfits, but they’re more of a statement. Belts just fit into everyday life more smoothly.

I wear suspenders/baces with my vintage suits. WAY more comfortable than a belt. People who have never worn suspenders/braces wouldn't understand. They take the weight off your midsection.

I wear the classic ones with buttons. The clip on type looks ridiculous and tend to break and don't work well.

I've never tried braces... so I really don't know about them, however... the physics about them, I am sure it would be annoying to me

I don't like belts either...

and 90% of the time I don't even need one except for those times in which a belt "has to go with the rest of the outfit" so I just wear it and then I don't have to hear others whining about it... lmfao

Suspenders but on females 🤣

Because I like to see the top of the females thigh.

I'm told stocking manufacturers often use men to model them, because their legs are longer and more shapely.

Belt, so I can hang my cell phone of eyeglasses case from.

Braces are so old school gentlemen like. I kinda like that. Can you guys make them modern again?

[goaded]

I think they're more about your waist being larger than your hips.

That said, Terry wears them!

[Levin]

You know some weird thought is coming back to me. That I might've worn the braces as a kid in the 80's. Surely not. Child abuse, that.

[Nikki1989]

The belt.

[goaded]

The way you said that...

[queenofcardio]

The belt looks better.

[Brady]

Belt, suspenders look weird.

[msc545]

Well, nobody wears suspenders anymore.

Me too. Although I've never even tried braces.
