Business Suit Suspenders

Business suit suspenders keep trousers hanging straight from the shoulders, which is why many tailors prefer them to belts for suits. This pair uses a Y-back, adjustable elastic straps and button tabs, so they fasten to buttons inside the waistband rather than clipping onto the cloth.

Choosing Suspenders to Match Office Suits

Choose a color that relates to your tie or socks rather than matching the suit exactly. Navy and burgundy suit gray and navy suits; brown and dark brown pair with tan, olive and tweed; gray is the most discreet for daily office wear. The black design with a rhombus pattern adds a little interest under a plain jacket. White and black have their own pages for formal events.

How the Button Suspenders Attach

Your trousers need suspender buttons: four at the front and two at the back. Many suit trousers come with them; otherwise any alterations shop can sew them on. The supplier lists polyester elastic, and the straps adjust in length at the front. Button-fastened straps keep the waistband smooth under a jacket. Browse the rest of our suspenders.

Business Suspenders FAQ

How do you put suspenders on?

Fasten the back tabs first, then step into the trousers, pull the straps over your shoulders and button the front tabs. Adjust the length so the trousers sit at your waist.

What are suspenders called in the UK?

They are called braces. In British English, suspenders means garters for stockings, so the word can cause confusion when shopping.

Can I wear them without a jacket?

Yes, with rolled sleeves and a waistcoat, or on their own in a casual office. In formal settings they are meant to stay under a jacket.
