Suspenders are an excellent way to make sure you don’t
accidently moon someone very important! To American’s, the suspender is a set
of fabric, elastic or leather straps, with button or clips at the ends used to
hold up trousers. Outside of the US, the word suspender has a much broader
scope and is often used to refer to items we call garter belts today, the term
simply means, any garment used to hold up pants or stockings.
The modern suspender was developed in 1820 by Albert
Thurston as a solution to a fashion issue where pants became cut to high for
belts to be practical. The first U.S. patent for suspenders came about in 1871
and belonged to Samuel Clemens, more famously known as author Mark Twain.
Suspenders remained popular until the 1920s, but went out of
fashion in the 30s because they were seen as “underwear”. Since then suspenders
have resurged in fashion from time to time, but they’ve never again out-paced the
belt in the popularity race.
