France is renowned for its fashion history, and today it continues to be at the forefront of trends. Suspenders are one of the accessories making a comeback, so Pierrot tells you all about them.
A bit of history
Fashion is a constant renewal, and suspenders are a perfect example. A legendary accessory, they were originally designed to hold up trousers, which at the time didn't yet have belt loops. A distinction was made between worker suspenders, often made of fabric, and bourgeois suspenders, made of 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, practical, comfortable, and elegant.
Today there are different types of suspenders: Y-shaped or X-shaped; thin, medium-wide, wide or extra wide; colored or more discreet leather; patterned or plain; 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 suspenders.
