1. I think it's cool. Love suspenders on men and women. nt

6. Put it this way: it's still as cool as it ever was.

Not many people carry it off with the same aplomb that, say, Screech did.

8. Only if you're Larry King.

9. When was it cool? I must have missed that fad.

They remind me too much of Larry King to seem "cool" though!

11. Two pieces of advice: 1) No clip-ons. 2) No novelty suspenders (a la Mork).

When I dress up, I wear very nice silk and (I'm sorry,) conservative-looking suspenders. I've got about eight or nine pairs. When I go suitcoat-less, I get everything from approving nods to absolute raves. I don't know what it is about pretty girls wanting to snap the elastic yoke on the back, but as long as they like to do it, I'll continue to wear suspenders... :evilgrin: They are a great accessory for a society that insists that when a man dresses up, it has to be serious and sober.

One more thing: never, but never, call them "braces". That'll get you slammed for being a pretentious Brit-wit.

13. Cos suspenders means something else in the UK...

... they're usually women's undergarments.

Mark.

15. My apologies to pretentious Brit-wits.

It's only pretentious if Americans call them "braces". If you guys do it, it's cool. B-)

[Ptah]

12. yes
