Certain characters and celebrities are basically icons for suspenders nowadays. I'm talking about the Larry King type of guys. The guys that are so well known for wearing suspenders that we even dress up as them for Halloween.
Suspenders are a great accessory for costume parties. However, there are so many suspenders icons that it's hard to choose a favorite. So we've gone ahead and put together our top twelve favorite costumes with suspenders!

Classic Geek Suspenders Costume

It's funny because Steve Urkel is essentially a symbol for nerds. If you pull your pants up high, wear a striped shirt, and slap on some suspenders then everyone will know who you're cosplaying as. You could wear any pair of suspenders or take it up a notch and get some nerd suspenders.
Despicable Me Costume
Yeah yeah minions wear overalls I get it. But what if you don't want to buy overalls because they aren't in style and you'll never wear them again. That's where denim suspenders save the day. All you have to do now is get a pair of blue jean shorts, a yellow shirt, and some goggles. You can also try out our minions suspenders for this look!
