Men’s button braces have been a part of the fashion world for the past 300 years. Once meant only to keep one’s pants up, they were crafted with strips of leather or ribbon and considered undergarments. Button braces, also known in some parts of the world as button suspenders, are a timeless accessory that are still popular to this day.
Why not? is the real question! Guys have been sporting this amazing accessory for centuries. Button braces serve both a practical and an aesthetic purpose. They are the more classic style of braces, perfect for men who prefer the old school look.
The invention of braces can be traced back to 18th century France. Button braces were once considered to be undergarments which were simply not to be visible to others. Modern-day button braces were developed in Britain in 1820 by Albert Thurston who had to find a way to secure the high-waisted pants that were in style at the time. These days, men still sport this classic look though more for aesthetic purposes.
These timeless accessories are making a comeback in a big way. It's easy to wear them well if you follow a few easy rules. Ensure that you choose a quality, adjustable pair that fits you perfectly. Wear them with a clean, pressed button-down shirt and tailored trousers. Match your braces with your neckwear and/or pocket square.
