It is a total disaster to see a stylish man putting in the effort in enhancing his personal style by pairing both suspenders and a belt at the same time because both are like oil and water they never mix and need to be worn alone. By the laws of style, suspenders serve the same purpose as a belt thus a man of style contemplates that you either wear a belt or suspenders but not both of them.

This blog post will discuss the negative effects wearing suspenders and a belt does to an outfit. So, buckle up because these tips are there to help you not wander off in the area of style.
1. Wearing both items confuses your dress code
This is one reason why wearing suspenders and a belt is never a good idea. Imagine you are going to deliver a large presentation on stage, you have decided to wear a dress shirt and you tucked in with a belt and suspenders(AKA braces) , the audience will see that you were confused and indecisive in selecting a dress code ideal for presentations. That’s why in this scenario, a belt is ONLY required since it slims up your business formal style which is a proper accessory for presentations yet suspenders are a bit fashion forward and are ideal for the bigger man with a big belly. It all depends on your personal preference as a man but never mix both you end up confusing your dress code whether it is casual or formal.
2. Both suspenders and a belt serve the same function
This is one reason why it is a huge mistake to wear both a belt and suspenders because of the same functional purpose. Even Stylists and Experts will tell you that both are never the same thus they should never be mixed but monitored to suit the ideal dress code.
3. Wearing both items makes your trousers to stretch thus the insulation may tear
Another valuable reason why suspenders and a belt are never to be mixed. This is done to ensure the trouser doesn’t stretch which can lead to the insulation tearing off hence the “One at a time” syndrome rings true in this case. Also, the trouser gets higher making you look like a Magician about to perform some magic tricks.

Exactly Eugenia, you are right as rain about that. I believe a person can either wear a belt or suspenders but never both because the outfit looks confusing. Thank You for commenting and reading!

Having this stylish faux pas would commensurate with wearing mittens over one’s gloves. Wouldn’t it?

Perhaps that will work but the purpose of this blog it is to inform men that they shouldn’t wear a belt and suspenders at the same time.
I hope I answered your question🙏

Actually, in reading what I stated, I was merely reiterating what you’d stated. Clearly, a former model’s POV isn’t welcome, and that’s fine. Have a wonderful day. 😊
