Suspender on a Sunday Afternoon

Suspenders or braces hold up parts of a garment. Today I am referring to the ones that keeps trousers or skirts from falling off. Traditionally, men wore these with their shirt and pants. Now women wear customisable straps over shorts, skirts and overalls.

Below is a fine example of changing your look with suspenders.

The suspender makes your wardrobe far more flexible. If you've lost weight recently but haven't the time to replace old clothes, just snap on the trusty braces.
