Pants with straps: how and what to wear suspenders

Suspenders, which once had a very utilitarian goal, namely, to tighten men's trousers and keep them in this position, today have more of a decorative function.

But the most important thing is that since Coco Chanel, suspenders have confidently migrated from a men's wardrobe to a women's wardrobe and, of course, like many other things, “defectors” look especially feminine in all their variations on the fairer sex!

For the first time, suspenders that are as similar as possible to modern ones appeared in 1890: Albert Thurston, who invented them, began selling the accessory that quickly became popular in his London store. Such suspenders were attached with leather loops to special buttons on the inside or outside of the trousers.
Women's suspenders practically do not differ from men's ones: traditional are considered to be suspenders crossed on the back in the form of the letters H, Y and X. Leather, textiles and rubber were and remain the traditional material for suspenders.

Fastening - on clips or on buttons. In the case of buttons, you will have to choose clothes with special cuts for suspenders, which, of course, is not always convenient, so if you decide to buy suspenders, the most convenient option is the clips, with which you can easily fix the suspenders to the level that suits you.

Women’s suspenders were especially popular in America in the middle of the last century! Women wore them with puffy skirts, midi skirts and sundresses.

It's funny, but once the rule of style seriously acted, saying that suspenders should not be visible from under the jacket! These days, suspenders are worn precisely so that they can show off, and now we will take a closer look at how to do this!

Shorts + suspenders

The option is youthful and slightly frivolous, so there are a lot of options with choosing a blouse or top. Such an image will not be suitable for an official setting or for publication, so arrange it accordingly - choose textile suspenders with bright prints, experiment with jewelry and shoes!

The most common option! The result, of course, will primarily depend on the style of the trousers, but it is impossible to make a mistake here: choose marlin for a retro look, narrowed trousers for a hipster or business one, culottes for a trendy one. You can also easily create an image in a man's style, all you need is a snow-white shirt and a jacket of a strict cut. For lovers of military style, such a combination will be a godsend!

Skirt + suspenders

This option again very much depends on the style of the skirt, but in this case you will see many stylish options: this is preppy, the image of a diligent student who has just left the library, and a business woman who skillfully combines a pencil skirt and tone-up suspenders, and country style!

It’s not necessary to wear them “on the line”! A flat strap or even both will give the image a touch of careless negligence, which will look great in a number of different styles from country to military.
The only thing you should always remember is the correct size of suspenders! If the tension and position of the braces are wrong, they can compress the chest, which is equivalent to a wrong bra, which, as you know, leads to health problems over time!
