Suspender purple

Bright purple over your shoulders: the purple suspenders immediately set a festive tone. They are a pair of Y-back suspenders with a plain purple, slightly shiny strap and three metal clips, suitable for women and men. You will see them often at a theme party, a costume party, or as part of a clown outfit for Carnival.

What exactly do the purple suspenders look like?

• The back tapers into a Y-shape, joined by a purple connecting piece.
• The straps are plain purple with a slight shine, without print or pattern.
• At the ends are three metal clips with which you attach the suspenders to your waistband.
• Due to their neutral design, they can be worn by both women and men.

Suspenders as a party accessory

Suspenders were originally a practical way to keep trousers in place and later developed into a striking garment. In the world of costumes, they appear mainly with clowns, 1920s gangsters, crooks, circus directors, and characters for a costume party. A Y-back design brings the straps together at a single point on the back, while an X-back design has two crossed straps, so the Y-back design looks a bit more streamlined on the back. Clip the clips onto trousers with a sturdy waistband, then they will stay in place best.

Purple suspenders in a complete outfit

With a bright color like purple, you can easily create a clown outfit: combine the suspenders with wide striped trousers, a polka-dot blouse, and a large bow tie. For a costume party, they work just as well over a tight white shirt or a checkered shirt. If you are going for a gangster look, keep the rest dark and let the purple straps provide the pop of color. They are also handy for a group outfit: everyone wears the same suspenders, but their own trousers and shirt.
