What are the Different Types of Suspender Ends?
There are a few different types of ends to attach your suspenders to your pants.
As the name suggests, formal ends are best to wear with your tuxedo or suit. The fabric ends button into your dress pants.
Button ends also attach to the buttons in your pants and are good for formal occasions, but they are made from leather.
Clip ends are the most casual type: the metal clips onto your pants and do not require your pants to have buttons. This means you can wear these suspenders with any type of pants, even jeans.
Convertible suspenders features both button and clip ends that can be easily switched between. They are great for getting a more formal look with the button ends, but also can be easily interchanged with the metal clips which give you the option to wear the suspenders with any pair of pants.
