Should you wear clip on suspenders?
There’s nothing cheesier than clip-on suspenders. It’s just bad design, really. The only way for the metal clip to actually function is to take a bite out of the waistband of your trousers. If you’re going to wear suspenders, make them traditional braces with leather or fabric button attachments.
How do you put buttons on your braces with trousers?
If the pants are pleated, the foremost button on each side should be placed on the inside waistband of the pants, directly above the pleat and about one inch down from the top. If the pants are not pleated, the buttons should go at the same place directly over the crease.
How do you wear suspenders with loops?
Fasten the suspenders to the back of your trousers. Clip or button them to the fabric, never the belt loops. Fasten X-back suspenders halfway between your spine and your sides. Y-back suspenders fasten in the center of your waistband above the 2 innermost belt loops.
Do clip-on suspenders damage pants?
My primary piece of advice is NEVER wear clip-on suspenders. Not only do clips damage fabric, but all of the sophistication of the style is lost if you wear those metal clips — the kind created to attach children’s mittens to their snowsuits and to hold up a farmer’s denim overalls.
Are clip or button suspenders better?
Suspenders that button on are considered a tad more formal than clip-ons. They also require trousers or jeans that have six buttons hidden along the inside of the waistband for the suspender’s loops to button onto.
Do all pants have buttons for suspenders?
There is no hard and fast rule, but most people put the buttons on the inside of the pants. Especially with dress pants. Other situations where we see buttons on the outside of the pants include work suspenders, or logger suspenders, and some western and leather suspenders, where the button straps are very large.

I’ve used this on faux suede, polyester, denim, fleece and cotton. The hardest one to bond was denim and faux suede, I’d imagine because they’re very smooth fabrics. The web isn’t 100% straight, so it does mean you’ll be chopping it up a lot instead of getting one long straight line of product.
Is it OK to wear suspenders with belt loops?
