Suspenders

I have a pair of skinny black suspenders that I somtimes wear to go along with my high waist jeans. My sister does the same, it looks great and give this "Rockabilly"-look that we both love. I bought mine about two years ago though and they have been a trend around here for a long time.
 
Is it just me, or does the model from the pictures in Post #642 have a head that's bigger than her body? She looks very young, so I'll watch my words.

I'm not really hateful of suspenders. I had to wear suspenders on my tuxedo to my brother's wedding. I had to wear suspenders because I had a tough time having the tuxedo pants stay up without falling and making a bloody fool out of myself at the wedding. Suspenders are never stylish, but very functional. When's the last time you heard of chic suspenders or trendy suspenders? And often times, the femmes who don't usually wear bottoms with suspenders usually have the suspender straps down as a sexy/diva style. it's tough to come off with an exceptional look with suspenders because I always seen these as function and not so much fashion. I don't really hate suspenders as much as a lot of other people do. In fact, when Glamour Magazine had their "Top 50 Fashion Do's and Dont's," suspenders was #39 of 50. They did note Larry King as the only one who could successfully wear suspenders. I think suspenders can be better than overalls simply because suspenders can be more versatile with clothing than overalls. Or which would you be better off with- suspenders or overalls?
 
My Cinco de Mayo here in Houston was pretty wet (I live and go to school in Southeast Houston). But it seemed like the sun was shining because I seen an example of bottoms held together by suspenders. This one lady at my school wore a denim high-waist skirt held together by suspenders. High-waist bottoms are somewhat rare in my eyesight in person, but I do get to encounter some new things often times. She had on some kind of crisp white shirt or blouse and paired with some low-heel open-toe pumps (forgot what color). If you're talking about seperate suspenders you can buy, I'm still sure some ladies will find it really necessary to have patterned skull designs on suspenders.

That's just a suspender example I wanted to share with you beautiful people.
 
I'd love to get my hands on thin red suspenders... like the Dior ones or the one Agy is wearing on the page before... But where do they sell them?? I've tried online and stores, but no luck.
 
It was back on November 17th last year when I first wore suspenders to my brother's wedding. The tuxedo pants I wore couldn't stay up on my butt, so I needed a pair of suspenders to keep things together. They weren't like '50s-style suspenders or anything, but just something stylish. I even wore them under a vest with my outfit. So you could say I was confident in wearing my tuxedo and knowing that I could look great in confidence. You can see the wedding pictures in my Myspace picture to see the look I sported.

It was this experience that I've gotten to appreciate suspenders. I look at the suspenders on this page, and the clip-on ones (like in posts #642 and #644) were the ones I had. So while I don't hate suspenders, I appreciate them more. Feel free to sport these leggings with confidence. I guess if you're a little inconfident in sporting suspenders, there's always a vest you could wear.

That's just a little love I'm showing for suspenders.
 
I love the suspender trend, I've been wearing them on and off again since high school though so maybe I'm biased :P
I've noticed that there's been a few people wanting to know where to get them....try urban outfitters, they have the skinny ones in lots of colours,(I even managed to find a pair of gold ones) I've also had luck in the malls at inexpensive clothing stores where teens tend to shop.
 
I love this trend, although i don't really feel like it's a 'trend' as people have been wearing them forever, every decade suspenders are a trend at some point.

Love wearing them with boots, black skinnies and my black and white bruce springsteen shirt
 
I just got a pair of thick black suspenders and I want to see some styles to wear them!! lol can you guys help me??:D
