LouieBrace Yourself - Suspenders are in Fashion
May 13th 2006 04:44
I think suspenders (braces) are the best unisex accessories available. I recently saw a girl wearing skinny black ones over a fitted shirt with a black high-waisted pencil skirt and she looked SO good!
I've been trying to find a funky pair in stores, but unfortunately there isn't a huge range. Tsubi and Roy make them, but they’re not exactly affordable for everyone. You can also buy them at Target, which stocks mens’ ones in neutral colours, but they don’t have any bright colours, so your best bet for cheaper patterned or quirky ones is eBay or an op shop.
Once you've got yourself a pair, try using them in one of these cute and edgy outfits:
I think super skinny suspenders are hot on guys. I can imagine them with skinny black jeans and a tee too.
Try this awesome asymmetrical look – it seems to work best with high-waisted skirts or pants.
Patterned suspenders are pulled off well with solid colours in the rest of the outfit.
The thing I love about suspenders is that they're an all-year-round accessory. You can wear them with pants in winter, or minis and shorts in summer, as above.
I absolutely adore this look – I think they look a little better when they are worn taut as opposed to loose.
Matching suspenders with bottoms is good if you can find a similar pair. The exactly matched pair above definitely looks hot.
I think those outfits all look so fab. I can't wait to get a pair myself so I can copy them!

I don't think I could pull off the suspender look without looking like an old-fashioned gangster...

Do you reckon you should have a masculine or feminine face to pull of masculine styles?
