Which do you use to hold up your trousers? And does it really matter?
Well, yes it does matter because it concerns your health. A belt cinched around your waist constricts your internal organs as well as veins and arteries in the surrounding area. Why is such constriction bad for you? It slows down processes in your body that should be moving along at a pace that is natural for you. And natural means - no constriction. So, not only does wearing a belt increase your chances of getting indigestion, it can also lead to a host of circulatory and other diseases.
Suspenders to the rescue!
After all, belts are a relative newcomer compared to the tried-and-true suspenders (or braces, as the British refer to them). One caveat on getting suspenders, however. Get the ones with the button holes and make sure your trousers have buttons in the right places to match the suspenders’ button holes. Claw-type grippers on suspenders damage trouser material so avoid them and demand ones with button holes.
Like the ones above, at Springhill Mercantile or the slightly more expensive ones that can be found at Trafalgar Leathergoods or at other clothing stores that carry them.
P.S. - If you wear a belt just for decoration because your trousers fit perfectly when you first put them on, remember that trousers tighten up when you sit. And if they fit perfectly when you are sitting, they will be too loose when you stand.
