What is the charm of braces (suspenders) that elevate the suit style?

You must remember the orthodox braces style in formal occasions!

Orthodox braces style (1) “Wear them under a vest

The classic suit style is ” three-piece = three-piece “. Braces are worn under a vest (vest), which is the original form. Also, like dress shirts and socks, braces are considered ” underwear ” in the English gentleman’s style. In the orthodox suit style, it is shameful for braces to be visible. However, in today’s Japan, it is not chic to be so stubborn as to say, “I don’t take off my jacket in summer because my shirt and braces are my underwear. It is also true that when wearing braces without a vest, a glimpse of braces through a gap in the jacket is indescribably sexy. In business situations, it is the modern way to wear braces flexibly without sticking to a three-piece suit. However, for formal occasions such as weddings, there is no harm in knowing how to wear the ” three-piece + bracelets ” in an orthodox manner.

Wearing braces when wearing a three-piece suit is not only a rule, but also a practical necessity. It is said that wearing a belt instead of braces creates an irregularity under the vest, which may interfere with the flowing silhouette from the vest to the pants. The most attractive feature of a completed suit style is a beautiful, streamlined silhouette. Braces play a major role in maximizing the sophistication of the three-piece suit.

Orthodox braces style 2: “Color selection is also important in formal occasions!

Braceys are available in a variety of colors and patterns, and one of the pleasures of braceys is to use them according to one’s mood of the day or the color of one’s tie. However, just as formal suits and dress shirts are monotone, braces are usually white or black for formal occasions. Considering that most people wear pants with a belt at Japanese weddings, you may not need to be so conscious of this, but if you are purchasing braces with an eye toward full-scale formal use, we recommend choosing black or white first. White braces should be worn in situations where formal suits, morning coats, and evening coats are worn, while black is the royal way to go when wearing a tuxedo, etc.

Orthodox Bracelets Style (3) “For a classic look, wear button-fastening with leather ends “

Braces come in two types: button-fastening and clip-on. The classic type is the button-fastening type with leather ends. The leather-end type is far more elegant in appearance. In formal occasions when vests are worn, braces are not visible anyway, so there is no problem with the clip type, but the steel clip end has the disadvantage of possibly damaging the fabric. However, steel clip-ends have the disadvantage that they may damage the fabric.

Find braces with leather ends

Most ready-made slacks, as well as casual pants, are not equipped with buttons for braces. In anticipation of this, Braceys often come with buttons that can be sewn onto the pants. It is possible to change the leather end to Braceys’ specifications by sewing on the buttons by yourself or by asking a repair store to do so. In the Japanese market, there are few bracelets that are “button-only,” and most of them are either clip-on or “2-in-1” bracelets that can be used with either a button or a clip. One option is to choose the latter and remove the clip when the pants are ready to be worn.

Classic Braceys Style (4) “Choose trousers with a classic design to boost your taste.

While it is good to try braces casually in casual or biz style, the choice of pants is also important if you want to make the most of their original role and give them a classical impression. For example, choose trousers with a deep crotch or pleats that are roomy around the waist. These trousers have become a mainstream item in recent years, so it is easy to find a design that suits your taste. Incidentally, at Bracey’s, pants are not meant to be “worn” but rather “hung. By hanging the pants from the top instead of wearing them at the waist, the silhouette of the pants looks much more beautiful, and many customers have become addicted to the pants after using them once. Many people involved in the fashion industry say, “The beauty of lines, such as pleats and center creases, can only function properly when braces are used.

If you want to pursue a classic style to the fullest, you can also choose pants without belt loops. It is obvious that pants without belt loops look smarter when worn with Braceys, since belt loops are unnecessary as long as the belt is not wrapped around the wearer’s waist. The trend of going back to the classics that has been going on for several years is increasing the number of belt-loop-less pants on the market, so be sure to check them out.
