Etymology

The word 'suspender' comes from the Latin root 'suspendere', which means 'to hang up'. The term evolved through Old French before entering English in the early 19th century. Initially, suspenders were practical garments designed to prevent trousers from falling down, especially before the widespread use of belts. Over time, they transitioned from purely functional items to fashionable accessories, particularly in the 20th century. Suspenders became associated with formal attire and were often seen in styles influenced by the working class and later adopted by various fashion movements. Today, they are worn by people of all styles and are available in numerous designs, allowing personal expression.
