- style: to prevent rampant pearl-clutching and general commotion, never wear clip-on suspenders past childhood! well before wearing this particular pair, dispose of the removable steel clamps, and by jove, make sure your formal trousers have suspender buttons on the inside of their waistband!
- alternatives: if your weight fluctuates very little (you lucky duck), then you may not need suspenders; a pair of formal trousers with side adjusters might be adequate
