Styling

How Girls Wear Suspenders

  • Skirt and tee: clip the suspenders to the skirt band over a plain tee for a playful school or party look.
  • Party dress: over a blouse with a full skirt, clipped to the waistband, in a color picked from the dress.
  • Jeans or leggings: for school, costume and dress-up days, a bright pair or the heart clips does the work.
  • Hanging at the hips: unclip the back or let the straps hang for a relaxed look.

We list the suspenders, not suspender skirts or dresses. More looks are on our suspenders outfits page, and adult lengths are in women’s suspenders.

Questions

Girls Suspenders FAQ

Why do girls wear suspenders?

Mostly for the look: suspenders add color and a finished touch to a party dress, a school outfit or holiday photos, and they let a girl match a brother or the wedding party. They also hold up pants or a skirt that is loose at the waist.

What are female suspenders called?

Suspenders, the same as for anyone. In the UK they are called braces. The pairs here are straps that hold up pants and skirts, not the garter belts that are sometimes sold as suspenders for stockings.

Can kids wear suspenders?

Yes. Clip-on pairs grip any waistband, so they work on pants, shorts and skirts without buttons. Check the length: the shortest pairs here adjust up to 26 inches for about ages 1 to 7, and one bow tie set comes in teen sizes.

What size suspenders does my daughter need?

Measure from the front waistband over the shoulder to the back waistband. Up to about 26 inches, the Kids 1-Inch Elastic and Kids Heart pairs fit. From age 3, the Kids Adjustable set comes in 25 or 30 inches, and the Kids Elastic set lists big kid and teen sizes by height.

Are girls and boys suspenders different?

Not in how they are made. Kids suspenders are unisex, so girls and boys wear the same pairs; the difference is color and styling. Girls often pick pink, purple, red or the heart clips, and all three bow tie sets come in pink.
