Black suspenders during the holidays? Give it a try with Christmas 2022.

Christmas is coming up again and that usually means a lot of unhealthy dining with the whole family and making sure that you look better than Uncle Roel in terms of clothing (and that is already difficult enough, the best man is in fashion). In the run-up to Christmas dinner you have some time for some contemplation and important life questions such as: What tie would dad wear, will ice cream with whipped cream be served or will it be whipped yoghurt with dessert and where will you get your black braces with your Tuxedo, smoking or Christmas casual trousers this year?

The important overarching question for men at Christmas is of course how to distinguish yourself in your choice of clothing now that everyone has six suits hanging on their hangers, even the minister is wearing cool shoes and the IT nerd at work orders his socks from HappySocks. No problem.

At Bretels.nl you will find the largest selection of luxury black suspenders that you can imagine, ideal for the holidays and Christmas. Founder Hein Strijker has his own brand with quality craftsmanship for a fair price, or else you can also find the classic brands such as Profuomo and Albert Thurston. On Bretels.nl they also sell many sizes and widths. Everything is sent the same day and with very good reviews on the site. So we advise: go for the braces. Anyway. Enjoy the meal.

PS we also have other colours.

What can you combine the suspenders with?

Now that you are considering going for the suspenders, it is good to ask yourself what you are going to combine them with. We suggest going in black tie. Very chic. And if you don't feel like putting on a tuxedo, you can also consider the following Christmas outfits:

1. Bring your suit again when you join the Christmas dinner. Parents often like it when you dress up special and festive :-). Avoid looking too businesslike by skipping the tie and adding a pocket square or scarf.

2. Go for the casual look and avoid everyone feeling underdressed because you had to show up in a suit again. But if you do go for the casual look, do it right and choose trousers with buttons on the inside of the waistband, so you can wear the suspenders with loops, you look extra festive and you don't blend in like a bag of white pudding with the rest of the visitors under the Christmas tree.

3. Go crazy. Go for Christmas pajamas (made in one piece of course). Don't forget the elk antlers (important! otherwise you won't be taken seriously) and finish it off with slippers. You can leave out the suspenders here :-).

Have a merry Christmas.
