Suspenders Increase your Comfort

Watch our video on how to wear suspenders here! Suspenders are sometimes called braces, and I love wearing them for several reasons. First of all, they keep the pants comfortably at the right place and when you sit down there is not the usual pressure from the belt that might irritate you. Secondly, I think they feel good.

Moreover, suspenders can alter the entire appearance of an outfit and make you look more sophisticated, chic or dandy. I have a red pair I enjoy wearing with red socks, small details that suit enthusiasts will appreciate. When the jacket of the suit is closed, people will rarely see the suspenders, only when you open the jacket and actively move you may see them.

Etiquette for smokings is that a pocket square can be worn if it is white, or if you really have to make a statement you may go for red. If you decide to wear a red pocket square, I would also advice wearing red suspenders to see some jealous men lose their girlfriends, to you.
