When I purchased my first tuxedo (40 years ago), it was set up for suspenders. Fast forward to my latest tuxedo, I had to have the tailer remove the belt loops from the pants and put in buttons for the suspenders. Same thing with the last suit I purchased. I'll confess to wearing a belt with leans only due to the cost to retrofit each pair for suspenders.

Funny that you mention that. I have a pair of suspenders that are designed to attach to a belt. They are a y style, with a clip that slides behind the belt and hooks to the bottom of the belt, there is even a small gap in the clip for the belt loop to pass through. The idea is that you don't have to cinch down the belt and can wear it loose so it is more comfortable, as the suspenders are what actually hold up the pants.

I'm a bit on the rounder side, trying to lose it but even if I ever do lose my gut to even a small degree...I'll still love my suspenders that I got. I got a pair of the Y strap clip on style suspenders for comfort...a belt buckle of any size can dig into my stomach when I sit down, and not having to adjust my belt after I eat is great. The fact is suspenders sadly are very niche and usually only worn by 3 types of people now 1) heavier set guys/those with a rounder shape as stated in the vid, 2) people who like old fashioned things and don't care about perception and thus wear clothing styles and fashion from before they were born on the regular, and 3) Old folks who already wore suspenders growing up and are used to them. Sadly these 3 types of people that wear suspenders on the regular give a rather...negative look for those who are fashion conscious or want something that looks "cool"....I can tell you right now I have to order my suspenders online cause I don't think I've ever seen a local store sell them over belts.

I wear suspenders with my tuxedos primarily. I love how they make me appear taller and more confident in my dealings with others. They also help in getting my cummerbunds positioned perfectly. And to top it off they make my bow ties stand out better. About the only complaint I have is that when my tuxes go to the cleaners, they are a bit difficult to undo. But all things considered, I would recommend using suspenders over belts any day.

I've got a big belly and I've got a big booty. With belts, the front of my pants would slide down to below my belly, and I kept having to pull them back up. So I finally decide to try braces (trying to sound sophisticated).That was more than 20 years ago. I wear braces on all of my pants, jeans, chinos and dress/suit pants.

Belts, IMO, should only be worn on 2 occasions. 1. Work related utility. A cop. A carpenter. etc. 2. With denim. Belts are casual. Wearing them with a suit is an abomination, again IMO. Furthermore, they make you look "cut in half." Your attire, especially suits, should drape. They should flow. And a belt disrupts this symmetry.

Laziness/apathy on the customer's part shouldn't be discounted. When you need to go to a tailor to get something sewn on (as you often need to do for proper suspenders), a lot of people just aren't willing to do it for something most people already see as too much of a hassle. Most pants already have the belt loops there so it's just easier to use a regular belt when they're wearing a suit. Now for men into style this isn't an issue, they're likely to go to a tailor anyway for other needs and necessities but the average American isn't anymore. It needs a little extra effort to be done properly, so a lot of people just won't do that because they don't want to put in that money and effort for something they already don't care about (that being wearing suits to begin with). tl;dr - Going to a tailor is too much of a hassle for some Americans so they'll just stick to belts.

I've always hated belts, so suspenders are my go-to, but you definitely have to have a certain style already to pull them off. A lot of fashion is about confidence, but you're not gonna pull off the jeans and t-shirt with suspenders look no matter how confident you are, much in the same way that the fedora + anime shirt look is never going to work. And please stay away from clip-ons omg. Suspenders generally get a bad image because of the older gents wearing clip-ons to hold up their jeans, while also sometimes wearing a belt with it, which is a whole other thing, lol. 😂
