Suspenders

One accessory that has been around for years and years are suspenders. Known to some as "suspenders" and to others as "braces," the one commonality we can all agree on when looking for suspenders is their functionality in how well they hold up your pants. Suspenders can be worn for formal events, black tie events, or they can and have been becoming more popular in casual every day wear.

If attending a formal event, suspenders are typically not mandatory - meaning you are not required to wear them to attend the event. However, many gentlemen will still choose to wear them for functionality, style or both. They are typically worn with a tuxedo look and are styled with your tuxedo vest or cummerbund to tie the entire formal wear look together. For formal events, it's typical to stick to solid suspenders in color like these French Satin Black Suspenders or something still monotone but with a slight pattern like the "Calabria" Black Paisley Suspenders.

Themed parties or events don't usually require such a standard or specific dress code, so breaking out those novelty or flashy suspenders like the "Mardi Gras Harlequin" Suspenders or the "Gold Broadway Glitter" Suspenders is not only expected but such a treat! For those looking to add suspenders to their everyday style, a nice plaid, polka dot or solid colored suspender, like the "Mustard Newport" Suspenders is a great way to show off your personal style.

Like we mentioned previously, the versatility of suspenders allows them to be a great accessory option for both formal and casual outfits.
