Braces/suspenders

Post Reply New Topic

My stepdaughter says I'm losing weight(I'm well into the obese category). She says I should get some braces . She says she will fit them on me as she thinks I wouldn't be able to do it. That would be for when she takes me shopping rather than my hitching up my trousers every 30 seconds or so round the supermarket.
I would need to wear them when going out generally not just to the supermarket.

Some people have mentioned getting a belt. I find it difficult to know what size to get , and am thinking I'd have to get more belts as I lose more weight.

I'm also wondering about wearing braces over a t shirt. Is that a big no no,or do people do it?

I've seen the following braces on Amazon,but I'm not sure which to get.

You've asked the right man. I swear by braces; I'm the youngest person to wear them in the country, probably.

Always, always, always get BUTTON braces. Clip-on braves are as classless as clip-on neckties. It's not difficult attaching the requisite buttons to your trousers yourself, but if you really can't manage, you have someone to do it for you. The buttons need to be attached so that the braves form a perpendicular line with the waist of your trousers - with the ground, ultimately.

A belt can be obtained that will continue to for you through weight loss; you just need to get a large enough belt and start with the largest fitting, going down. But braces look a lot better and more sophisticated, as well as being more comfortable and easier to work around weight changes.

You can wear braces with t-shirts, but you'd be better off with real shirts.

These are similar to the pair I have:

But as long as you're willing to spend £20 or more, you'll be alright.

I think button braces are timeless and handsome as well. I agree with Prometheus!

I have never been into what's fashionable/stylish to wear, not even when I was a young adult. I can accept button braces might be more classy, but for me it would be what's easier to manage over what may or may not be classy .

Buy a pair and wear them in whatever way you find comfy.

I only wear a shirt on special occasions. I've ordered these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BGYYPBN/ ... UTF8&psc=1 .
