I've been a belt wearer for some time but the allure of looking like my grandfather has made me eye a pair of suspenders.

While I research all-things-suspenders, please consider voting in this poll!

I have definitely switched from a belt to suspenders.
At 67, my hips are still 32-33, but my belly seems to be larger, like a 35. Imagine that, how did that happen?
Rather than subject folks to the dreaded plumber's crack, and to keep from constantly pulling my pants up or trying to wear a belt so tight they are uncomfortable.
I now have several sets of suspenders, and I absolutely love them!

I use belt and suspenders …but normally not at the same time. For me they turn out to be just like any other tool … there is a correct time and place to use each of them.

I want to be 15 again …so I can ruin my life differently.

Overalls. Suspenders. Stay home and try not to put on pants. In that order.

Belts require a butt or else it needs to be too tight and uncomfortable.

I have a solution for this question. Go pant-less. Works for me!! Saves time and money. Or if one feels the need, go with a draw string, like sweatpants!
