Do suspenders work better than a belt?

It’s really a matter of preference. Logically, suspenders make a lot of sense, and many people find them more comfortable than belts.

Suspenders work better than belts on men with larger bellies.

Are suspenders formal?

In general, yes, suspenders are formal. You can buy more casual suspenders, like leather suspenders, and wear them with casual or smart casual outfits.

But suspenders are most often worn with dressier outfits.

Final Thoughts

For me, suspenders are kind of like shirttail garters: I’m not going to wear them everyday, but every now and then, I’m extremely glad that I have a couple of pairs on hand.

Of course, I know some guys who wear them all the time and absolutely love them. Either way, it’s probably a good idea to have a pair in your arsenal.
