been thinking about ditching my regular belt for something more streamlined. I’m torn between minimalist belts (like those with the hidden buckles) and trying braces/suspenders again. I wore braces a lot in my younger years, but haven’t really considered them lately.
The minimalist belt seems convenient and less bulky under shirts, but I worry about long-term comfort, especially when sitting for extended periods.Braces, conversely, offer comfort and arguably a more classic look, but they might be too dressy for everyday wear unless you really lean into the vintage vibe.
Anyone have experience with both? Which do you find more versatile and pleasant for daily use? Any recommendations on specific minimalist belt brands that hold up well and don’t dig in? Also,are there any considerations when wearing braces in more casual settings to avoid looking like you’re headed to a board meeting?
