Once serving as a purely functional item, as a replacement for a belt, men’s braces have been around for centuries. In the 17th century, Frenchmen would tie straps of cloth to their undergarments to hold them up and in Britain, braces made their commercial debut in 1820.
Overtime, braces developed into a symbol of elegance and style, becoming an item that the wearer would flaunt, rather than conceal. They add a dapper touch to any outfit, whether it’s a classic black tie or trendy hipster look you’re after, braces are the perfect accessory.
With the popularity of braces increasing, there are now a myriad of colours and patterns to complement every kind of style. Buckle | 1922 gets creative with its new range of X and Y back braces with fun prints for the more quirky and daring man.
