Or of pants. In this case pants. I've been given some thought to the purchase of suspenders to better keep up my pants. I don't want to look like a complete and utter dork so what kind of shirt goes well with suspenders?
OK Gordon Gekko.

Sadness. Sadness will go well with that.
Score yourself some Mork suspenders and you can be: topical.
I'd recommend against taking fashion advice from Languish. The only thing I know about suspenders is that you can't wear them with a belt or else Henry Fonda will kill you. Go to Brooks Brothers and ask one of the clerks; they'll know.
What's wrong with the Languish jerks?

I've been wondering that for some time myself.
:cry:
I don't know that I've seen a recent picture of Raz, but suspenders are a quite appropriate and even necessary means of keeping up your pants if you're a man of a certain physique.
Any kind of button up shirt would be fine with suspenders. Depends of course on the entire ensemble.
No offense Raz, but fat boys don't look good in suspenders.
How fat are you, Raz? Are you morbidly obese?

Who does?
I just looked up fashionable suspenders and to a man everyone wearing them would have looked better without.
I know I'm going to regret this, but here is a photo of the Raz in the wild.

Fat boys don't look good in anything. And when you have too much gut/too little butt, pants falling becomes problematic.
Big guys look best in clothes that fit them. Wearing a tent to hide it makes it worse.

Or even better, invent a suspenders/shoulder holster combo, and go with this look...

Are you sure that's not an old photo of George Martin? ;)

I just wanted to point out that of the "7 Easy Style Upgrades", #1 was "wear suspenders".
Raz, you're not a bad looking man. :thumbsup:

This is true. Nothing looks as bad as a gut pushing down a pair of pants with a belt, belly poking out under the shirt like Baby Huey.
Raz, you're not trying to win a fashion show. Wear what's comfortable, which is probably suspenders with certain types of pants.

Big boys should wear suspenders with suits though, not belts.
Braces (suspenders mean something else for us Brits :blush:) are best worn with a more formal outfit - which means trousers designed for braces (don't use clip-on braces, oh god please) and a long-sleeve shirt.
If you do go down this route, get a variety of colours so you can match to what you're wearing.
Wearing a t-shirt and braces will make you look like a German comedian.

I don't think suspenders will help in that department. :( It's worse when I have a beard.

Agreed. Braces* with casual attire just looks silly. If the trousers don't have braces buttons, they probably aren't designed for wear with braces. You can have the buttons added for a nominal sum.
QuoteIf you do go down this route, get a variety of colours so you can match to what you're wearing.
Yep. And remember that if the tie is a solid color, the braces should be patterned, and vice-versa. Tie and braces should share a color.
* Having lived in Britain, I uses braces now, as well, because the image of a man in "suspenders" is disturbing.

I think people will think Raz looks much better if he starts to open-carry. Or at least they will not tell him otherwise.
