If you're going to wear white solid shirts, I would go with all white suspenders as it is very conservative and very easy to match everything. Just make sure they're button down.
Braces/Suspenders - Colors, Source Etc ?
Dear All
I hope you have been well since the last I was here.
I'm attending a medical conference in SF soon, and have been going through my clothing. I'm thinking a pair of suspenders might be worth a try, since I find my trousers tend to want to ride down a bit, probably a consequence of being too fat.
I will probably take my light grey and my "new blue" (a smidge lighter than Navy) suits. I don't want to be super ostentatious with ducks or other crazy stuff on the braces. Is there a preferred color? Do they need to coordinate with whatever color shirt I happen to be wearing?
Do we have some favorite sources here for reasonably priced, good quality suspenders?
Thanks everyone !

Aren't white suspenders for formal or semi-formal wear? I.e., white tie or black tie?If you're going to wear white solid shirts, I would go with all white suspenders as it is very conservative and very easy to match everything. Just make sure they're button down.
I have a nice pair of beige/tan suspenders made by Tommy Hilfiger. I only have one pair of suit pants with buttons added and they are now too big on me to even be altered. So I'll be adding them to a current suit. I love them. I really like the beige color. Its neutral and looked great with any tie I wore them with.
I could go nuts with suspenders the way I did with ties. I need to be careful.

No, no, no! This type of advice is not helping to promote a better-dressed membership. White braces are for formalwear, period. With business suits, they are not conservative, they are just wrong.If you're going to wear white solid shirts, I would go with all white suspenders as it is very conservative and very easy to match everything.

Are your grosgrain suspenders 100% cotton or 100% silk? And, do the navy solid suspenders come with dark brown or medium brown leather kips when brown leather is specified? Or, do you get a choice of those two browns when brown leather kips are specified?
My guess would be rayon.Nice suspenders, Mr. Winston (or can I call you Paul?).

Mr Winston can correct me if I misremembered, but when I asked that question the answer was I could specify the color I wanted when I ordered and they would let me know if they were unable to fulfill. I asked for mid brown when I ordered and they arrived with perfect mid brown colored kips.Nice suspenders, Mr. Winston (or can I call you Paul?).
