Braces: much more than a trendy fashion accessory!

Les bretelles: bien plus qu'un accessoire de mode tendance !

France is renowned for its fashion history and continues to be at the forefront of trends today. Suspenders are among the accessories making a comeback, so Pierrot tells you everything. 

A bit of history 

Fashion is a perpetual cycle, and suspenders are a perfect example of this. A mythical accessory, they were originally designed to hold up trousers that, at the time, did not yet have belt loops. You could distinguish between workers' suspenders, often made of fabric, and bourgeois suspenders, made from more noble materials such as leather. 

Democratized in the 1920s and 1930s by iconic figures like Al Capone, suspenders are worn by gentlemen of all generations. They are an essential fashion accessory, both practical, comfortable, and elegant.

Today there are different types of suspenders: Y-shaped or X-shaped; thin, medium, wide, or extra-wide; colorful or more discreet leather ones; patterned or solid; there are so many possible choices that it leaves a multitude of combinations to achieve the best style. We have moved from practical suspenders to aesthetic ones. 

It's a matter of style 

The big question is what style to have when wearing suspenders? The answers are numerous, but Pierrot's suspenders can fit any situation. 

Whether it's an everyday style or for special occasions, suspenders will complete your outfit and add that little "something" that changes everything. This accessory, once hidden and considered underwear, is now increasingly revealed, adding character to all looks. 

Whether for a wedding, a gala, a work evening, or a cocktail, suspenders will be your best allies.

For a polished yet relaxed look, opt for clip-on suspenders, medium-wide. They can be made of leather or fabric, solid or with subtle patterns.

Pierrot's little tips  

Wearing suspenders is not simple; here are our tips to be on top without any false notes. 

The first thing to know is that it is "forbidden" to wear suspenders and a belt. It's a fashion faux pas, and it would suggest that you lack confidence in your pants.😉

Next, you can match your suspenders to your shoes to create a reminder of material or color; feel free in your choices. 

To enhance your outfits, pair them with a hat. Be careful not to overdo the accessories, just as you shouldn't overdo the colors. There needs to be a real harmony to bring out the full potential of your look.  

The little extra that will make you smile: know that wearing suspenders is good for your back health, as you have to stand up straight. And yes, wearing suspenders is all good!
