Apparel reviews of Geoffrey Beene Men's Two Tone Zig Zag Suspender
Customer Review: Snappy Dressers Wear Suspenders
Rating: 5 Stars
Suspenders used to be thought of as an undergarment and so they were covered with vest. However, as vest went away then so did suspenders. However, now they are not undergarments and in many cases are the proper way to finish certain pants. If your pants have the little flap with a button hole that you button across the centerline then suspenders are the proper way to finish those pants. Also, for those of us carrying around more weight then we need, suspenders are far more comfortable than belts.
These Geoffrey Beene suspenders are very well constructed and look very nice. I've got some expensive suits and some cheap suits. These suspenders go with all of them and make them look nice. I also use suspenders with sports coats and slacks.
Some people may comment on your "grandpa" look. However, if you are a sharp dresser then suspenders are another accessory in addition to the tie to make you look good. I will admit I get a lot of comments about stock broker, or questions about why I wear suspenders but people also often compliment me and label me a sharp dresser. It's a great opportunity to strike up a conversation and get to know someone also.
I got the mustard version of this and am using it on a light brow suit. These suspenders come with buttons. This color is a more advance color and fairly limiting. My ties will need to work with the yellow color. I should have bought the olive/cedar as that would have been more neutral and, therefore, more versatile. With that said I am a sucker for yellow.
First thing to do on these suspenders is get rid of the metal clips. If you use metal clips, a clip on tie, and a short sleeve shirt than this is not the set of suspenders for you. Dickie suspenders are cheaper and much more up your ally. If you want to learn to dress better, then these will be a good start. Get a pair with black ends and a pair with brown ends. Get some solid long sleeve shirts, grey, white, egg shell, black, blue etc. Use your black end suspenders with black shoes, black, grey, or blue suit and a tie in the red, black, grey, blue realm. Use your brown end suspenders with brown shoes, brown suit, brown pants, and a tie in the green, brown, peach, yellow family. This is very basic list and there are all sorts of exceptions but it is a great place to start. With solid shirts it is very hard to go wrong.
Second thing is to have the buttons sewn into your pants. The difference between metal clips and button suspenders is like the difference between a clip on tie and a real tie. It's not that expensive either. If you have several sets of suspenders then you can just leave them on your pants.
Pros
More comfortable than a belt. Especially for those of us carrying around more weight than we need.
Fashion statement
Came with buttons
You will get comments about the way you dress.
Cons
Takes more time to put on than a belt.
If you only have one set you will have to get more buttons to have them sewn in.
One or two belts does it all. You will probably want multiple sets of suspenders which can get rather expensive.
