I have been seeing more men wearing suspenders lately.For a long time
it was rare to see anyone
wearing suspenders except if they were wearing them with a suit. I
often wondered why more people didn't wear suspenders being they are
more comfortable than a belt. I guess I'm one of the oddballs that
wear suspenders everyday whether it be with my jeans or casual pants.
My wife doesn't like them.Every chance she gets she will buy me a belt
and want me to wear it instead.
She says suspenders are for old people.I don't get that logic.I guess
only old people should be comfortable.I am 40 yrs.old and I wish more
people my age and younger would wear suspenders.
They don't know what they're missing.

I agree with you about suspenders. I love to wear them and it has now
given my wife and daughters something new to buy me for special
occasions besides ties! They come in fabulous designs. When I buy
suits, I make sure that I have the tailor put in suspender buttons. I
don't use clip-type suspenders as I think the ones that button in
place look much better. The only thing that drives me nuts is when I
see men wear suspenders WITH a belt-- nuts! Thanks for sharing the
great news about suspenders! Visit my blog atwww.blacktieaffair.info

Suspenders with a belt looks horrible. A co-worker of mine wears those
Perry Suspenders.
I could never wear those as I hate belts to begin with.I haven't worn
a belt since I was about
12 yrs.old. I wore suspenders all through Jr.High and High School. I
think I was the only one
wearing them at the time.
