A pretty valuable accessory, but you have to consider these errors when wearing straps before going out with your outfit.

By Alonso Martínez

Miss wearing straps? The straps are one of the key accessories for the male closet and are the secret weapon to give an interesting twist to any outfit leaving aside the belt, which, if asked, lacks a little personality. Ideal for suits, but used to different types of attire, the suspenders give an extra to the outfit, although-of course-there are times when everything can go wrong.

Although wearing suspenders is relatively simple, there are some key errors that can completely ruin the outfit. If you're going into this world, make sure you Don't follow any of the following.

Do not differentiate between types of straps

In general there are two types of straps: those of clip-on, which are held to the trousers with clips that have at each point and which must be strong enough to avoid letting go. On the other hand, there are the button ones, which require that the trousers have six holes of buttons hidden around the waist (usually) to be used. If you're going to buy your suspenders, check the guy first and if you have pants with the buttons. Although the clip-ons Don't look bad with the button ones, it's usually better to use one of the buttons.

Choose the wrong width of straps

The width of the straps can completely define the look, and while thin suspenders may be more suitable for a casual and youthful look, the widths can give this feeling of seriousness and classic appearance. On the other hand, it is also important to consider it depending on the shape of the body. Thin men may look a little weird with wide straps, so something is recommended that goes more with their shape (similar to what happens with ties), while those with more muscle and a larger figure may look for something wider.

The classic: straps with belt

This is a basic fad mistake. You should never wear a belt with straps. First, the two are doing the same action, keeping the pants in place, and second, it looks quite rare in addition to giving a strange look. It's advisable to decide for one of the two and go on.

Shirt too big with straps

Suspenders, by design, tend to stay close to the body, marking it. If we wear a big shirt, we can make it deformed with the suspenders, giving an '80s businessman look (and not in a good sense). A shirt with a proper fit and suspenders can even improve the shape of the body. Another of the basic errors in wearing straps.

Bad combination of straps and attire

Similar to what happens with the belt, the straps must combine with the rest of the outfit, with the shirt being key, as they use the same space. If you wear the white shirt, the options are actually quite a lot, with only the clear tones being a little in doubt, but if you go for colorful outfits just make sure it looks good. Use whatever makes you comfortable.

Use them sometimes unrighteous

The suspenders are a garment that we considered formal until it got mixed up in contemporary trends, creating an enormous diversity of options that we can see anywhere. Although many look formal, there are some too noisy designs that Don't fit so much with the classic office look. Also, those of clips that have a more casual ample space are also not ideal for the suit. For casual smart things are easier, but make sure you have something that fits the place you'll be.
