Edgar Lee Masters

Beware of the man who rises to power from one suspender.

American Poet

Often associated with old-fashioned or formal attire, rarely used in casual, modern clothing.

In British English, 'suspenders' refer to garter straps, not the straps used to hold up pants.

Sometimes associated with nerds in media, may carry a 'geeky' connotation.

In the UK, 'suspenders' is often used to describe the straps holding up women's stockings.

It's an intimate attire detail, not commonly talked about in public settings.

Typically found in lingerie stores or sections, not general clothing shops.
