Suspenders: much more than a trendy fashion accessory!
France is renowned for its fashion history, and continues to be at the top of trends today. Suspenders are one of the accessories that are coming back to the forefront, so Pierrot tells you everything.
A little history
Fashion is always starting over and suspenders are a perfect example. A legendary accessory, they were originally used to hold pants which, at the time, did not yet have belt loops. We distinguished workers' suspenders, often made of fabric, and bourgeois suspenders, in more noble materials such as leather.
Popularized 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 straps: Y-shaped or X-shaped; fine, mid-large, large or extra; those colored or more discreet in leather; patterned or plain; there are so many possible choices that it leaves a multitude of combinations to have the best style. We have moved from practical straps to aesthetic straps.
