Wedding Suspenders for the Groom, Groomsmen and Ring Bearer
Start with who is wearing them. The groom can spend more on one pair that will be in every photo; groomsmen usually match each other; kids need a size by age and often a bow tie.

|---|---|---|
| Groom | Leather or button-end straps, a Y-back under the jacket, a color that suits the suit | Full-Grain Leather Y-Back, Leather Y-Back 4-Clip Wedding, Convertible Clip and Button |

Suit and tuxedo fit
Button, Clip or Hook?
| Attachment | Works with | Formality | In this collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Button ends | Trousers with suspender buttons inside the waistband | The most formal choice for a tuxedo or three-piece suit | 4 styles, including the 1.4-Inch Y-Back Button pair; see button suspenders |
| Clips | Any trousers, including rented suits without buttons | Fine under a jacket or vest | More than 20 styles; see clip-on |
| Hooks | Trousers with belt loops | More casual; suits rustic and outdoor weddings | 8 styles; see hook |
A Y-back has one strap down the back and sits flatter under a jacket or vest; 19 styles here are Y-back. An X-back crosses two straps and spreads the load; 5 are X-back, and one hook pair comes in either style. For a suit, 1 to 1.5 inch straps look in proportion. For black tie, see tuxedo suspenders.

- With a bow tie: matching sets save color guessing; see bow tie and suspender sets.

Questions
Wedding Suspenders FAQ
Is it okay to wear suspenders to a wedding?
Yes, for the groom, the groomsmen and most guests. Suspenders are traditional with suits and tuxedos and keep trousers hanging cleanly. At a formal wedding wear them under a jacket or vest; at a rustic or summer wedding they can show. If the invitation says black tie, choose a slim black or white pair.
What style of suspenders is considered formal wear?
Button-end suspenders are the most formal, because they fasten to buttons inside the trouser waistband and hang cleanly under a jacket. A slim Y-back in black, white or a muted color is the classic formal shape. Clip-on pairs are fine under a jacket; hooks to belt loops read more casual.
What are the best suspenders to wear with a tuxedo?
A button-end Y-back in black or white is the traditional choice with a tuxedo. Many rental tuxedo trousers have no suspender buttons, so check first; if not, a slim clip-on pair works. See the tuxedo suspenders collection for styles made for black tie.
Should the groom's suspenders match the groomsmen's?
Either works. Many grooms wear the same style as the groomsmen so the party looks uniform in photos, while others choose a leather or different colored pair to stand apart. If the groomsmen match, buy one listing in one color so every pair is the same.
Can you wear a belt and suspenders together?
No. Suspenders replace the belt, and wearing both looks doubled up and pulls the trousers in two directions. Choose suspenders for a cleaner line under a jacket or vest. If the trousers have belt loops, hook styles fasten to the loops instead.
What size suspenders does a ring bearer need?
It depends on the child and the listing. Sets here come in lengths such as 15.7 to 25.6 inches, 25 or 30 inches, and 31 inches for ages 8 to 12. Measure from the front waistband over the shoulder to the back waistband and compare it with the listing.
Where do I buy these suspenders?
Each style here is listed on Amazon. Pick a pair and click View on Amazon to see current prices, colors and sizes; purchase, shipping and returns are handled by Amazon. For a wedding date, check the delivery estimate on the listing before you order.
