Hi guys,

Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on full outfits to go with braces? I was thinking maybe skinny jeans, plimsoles/ retro high tops with shirt? any variations on this or other suggestion would be much appreciated.

. I think that combination sounds pretty bad. Suspenders warrant something a bit dressier than plimsolls IMO.

do you want to look like Gordon Gekko, your grandpa, a caricaturized wannabe generic hipster, a fabulous Brodway hopeful, or something else altogether?

well the braces are not really formal braces, they're checkered ones from topman so i assumed they weren't for a formal outfit.

"Suspenders" is American English for braces.

Regardless, I don't think they're worth trying to incorparate into an outfit since you need to ask. I'm also picturing that these checkered topmans would look heinious.
