Braces

Large selection of suspenders for men

Men's suspenders are a classic accessory that has made a strong comeback in modern men's fashion. At The Prince you will find an extensive range of suspenders for men, ranging from the classic solid-colored models to variants with patterns and motifs. We place great emphasis on quality, which is why the majority of our selection is produced in Denmark by renowned brands such as Scanbelt. Whether you are looking for functional suspenders for work or a stylish detail for your party wear, we have something for everyone. Suspenders are no longer just a practical measure to hold up your trousers; they are a conscious style choice that signals excess and attention to detail. We typically stock both standard lengths of 120 cm and extra-long models of 140 cm, so everyone can get the right fit regardless of height and build.

Find the right braces for your outfit

When putting together your look, accessories play a crucial role in the overall impression. A well-chosen pair of men's suspenders can elevate your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary and add a personal edge. For formal occasions, where you might wear a tuxedo or suit, our slim clip-on suspenders are a popular choice, as they give an elegant and discreet look under the jacket. If you want to complete the style, you can combine your suspenders with matching bow ties or ties , which creates a common thread in your outfit. It's all about finding the balance between practicality and aesthetics, so that you feel comfortable, whether you're in the office or at a wedding.

Wide suspenders for men for comfort and functionality

For many, choosing braces is primarily about comfort and optimal support in everyday life. Here, wide braces with clips are the ideal solution, especially if you wear heavier trousers such as jeans or work trousers that require extra support. Wide braces for men distribute the pressure better over the shoulders than the narrow variants, making them comfortable to wear for many hours at a time without chafing. This type is often called craftsman's braces, but they are used today by many men who simply want a solid and durable solution that ensures that the trousers sit exactly where they should. The wider elastics also ensure that the braces retain their elasticity for a longer time, even with daily use.

Choose the right back type

When buying braces, you often come across terms such as X-back, Y-back and H-back. These refer to how the braces are constructed on the back, and the choice depends on both taste and body type. An X-back, which is also often called an H-braces in everyday speech, has two attachment points at the back and two at the front, giving a total of four clips. This ensures a very stable fit and is often preferred for work or physical activity. A Y-back is assembled in the middle of the back in a connecting piece of leather or metal and has only one attachment point at the back, which gives a more classic and sporty look. If you tend to have drooping shoulders, an X-back or a Y-back may be preferable to a V-back, as the construction helps keep the straps in place over the shoulders all day.

Fun suspenders for men and patterned designs

Suspenders don't always have to be conservative and plain. We're seeing a lot of interest in fun suspenders for men that can act as a conversation starter or a humorous gift for the man who has everything. Our range includes variants with everything from the Danish flag and beer motifs to music, tape measures and tools. These patterned suspenders are perfect for theme parties, holidays like Christmas and Easter, or just to show a little personality in an otherwise gray everyday life. Although the design is playful and colorful, we never compromise on quality. You still get the same durable materials and adjustable buckles as on our more traditional models, so the fun features also work in practical terms.

Choose between clips or buttons

An important detail when choosing braces is the fastening method, which defines both the functionality and the style. The most versatile and widespread solution is the patented German clips, which can be attached to all types of trousers without preparation. Our clips are designed to hold firmly without damaging the fabric in the waistband. If you are looking for a completely authentic and classic look, you should consider braces for buttons in the trousers . These models have leather straps that require your trousers to be equipped with buttons on the inside or outside of the waistband. This gives a sophisticated look that fits perfectly with the vintage style or formal attire such as dress and white. For the really big parties, you can also see our selection of tuxedo braces with clips , which combine the formal look with ease of use. Don't forget to add a pair of sleeve braces if you want to complete the classic men's look to the letter.

Better braces in Danish quality

We believe that better braces provide a better experience and a longer lifespan. That's why a large part of our selection, including the Scanbelt brand, is produced in Denmark from European quality materials. By choosing Danish quality, you ensure durable elastics that won't go slack, and durable metal parts that are nickel-free and robust. Whether you choose narrow or wide models, you get a product that is designed to be used day after day. We offer braces in a variety of colors such as black, red, navy blue, green and gray, so you can always find a pair that matches your wardrobe and your needs. When you choose quality, you avoid the irritation of clips that come undone or straps that lose their shape.

Frequently asked questions about braces

How do you use braces?

Men's suspenders are worn by attaching them to the trousers using clips or buttons. They are worn over the shoulders to hold the trousers up and can be adjusted in length to ensure a good fit.

What is the difference between X and Y braces?

X-harnesses have four attachments and cross over the back, while Y-harnesses have three attachments and come together at a single point in the middle of the back. X-harnesses provide more support and are suitable for people with drooping shoulders.

Can you use braces and a belt at the same time?

It is not recommended to use suspenders and a belt at the same time, as both are intended to hold up the pants. Using both can be unnecessary and cause discomfort.

How long should braces be?

Men's suspenders should be long enough to provide a comfortable fit. The standard size is typically 120 cm, but extra-long suspenders of 140 cm are also available for those with greater needs.
