Christmas Suspenders

These Christmas suspenders turn a plain shirt and trousers into a holiday outfit in one move. The prints include reindeer, Christmas trees, ornaments, leaves and a green floral design, on Y-back braces with clip-on ends and fully elastic straps. The supplier lists them as unisex and adult-sized, adjustable to a maximum length of about 42 inches.

How the Y-Back Christmas Suspenders Fit

Each strap is about 3.5 centimeters wide, roughly an inch and a half, and fully elastic, so it moves with you when you sit down to dinner or join the dancing. The Y-back joins the straps at the shoulder blades so they stay put, and the clips grip the waistband of trousers or a skirt without buttons. The supplier lists polyester for the straps.

Putting Together a Holiday Outfit With Suspenders

For an office party, wear them over a white shirt with a solid red or green bow tie. At a family dinner, they look relaxed over a chambray shirt with the sleeves rolled. For a Roaring Twenties Christmas party, add a flat cap and dark trousers and you have a quick 1920s look. Plain and striped braces are in our suspenders.

Christmas Suspenders FAQ

How do I put on clip-on suspenders?

Clip the two front ends to your waistband, roughly in line with each side of your chest, then clip the back to the center seam. Adjust the sliders until the straps sit flat without pulling.

Do you wear a belt with suspenders?

Skip the belt. Suspenders do the job of holding trousers up, and the clips sit neater on a waistband without one.

Will they fit a tall person?

The supplier gives a maximum length of about 42 inches. If you are very tall, compare that with a pair you already own.
