Etymology

The word 'suspenders' originates from the verb 'suspend'. The term began to be used in the late 19th century to refer to straps that suspend trousers from the shoulders, as opposed to the earlier methods of holding trousers up, such as belts. Suspenders were popularized during the Victorian era, primarily as a men's fashion accessory. They were designed to provide a more comfortable alternative to the waist-mounted belt and were favored by those who wore more formal attire. Over the years, suspenders have evolved in design and are now available in various styles, materials, and colors, making them a versatile addition to many wardrobes. In modern times, they are often associated with vintage or retro fashion but have also been embraced by contemporary designers.
