Suspenders Single Strap Original-Black

A suspender is a pair of fabric or leather straps worn over the shoulders to hold up trousers or a skirt, attaching to the garment via clips or buttons. They are often preferred over belts for formal wear or for a cleaner silhouette because they distribute weight across the shoulders, providing more comfort and a less restrictive fit. Suspenders are also known as braces in British English, and can also refer to a strap for holding up stockings, which is a garter belt in American English. 

Key features and uses

• Support: Suspenders hold up clothing by transferring the weight to the shoulders, rather than cinching the waist like a belt.
• Attachment: They are attached to trousers or skirts at the waist using buttons or clips at the ends of the straps.
• Design: The straps are typically Y-shaped or X-shaped at the back and can be elasticated or made of woven cloth.
• Fit and comfort: They can offer a more comfortable and consistent fit, especially for those who find belts restrictive or have difficulty with waist-based sizing.
• Aesthetics: Suspenders can create a smooth, clean line along the waist, making them a popular choice for formal and vintage-inspired outfits.
