LOL, motivated by the words of those who post herein, I have purchased two pair of braces/suspenders and have yet to build up the nerve to be seen wearing either of them in the wild. They just look pretentious(reas as silly) when worn with chinos! 
PS: I have worn them with a suit, but I never take the jacket off and I wear a suit (these days) perhaps once a year!
