Sequin Holiday Y-Back Suspenders

Description

Sequins across the full face of a 1 inch elastic strap, in a Y-back layout with metal clips at the ends. Total length adjusts up to 40 inches. Seven colors are offered: red, green, gold, silver, black, dark blue and lake blue, which between them cover most of what a holiday party is likely to ask for. The strap is narrow, which keeps the sequins reading as a line of light rather than a solid panel.

Red and green are the Christmas pair, gold and silver belong to New Year’s Eve, and the blues work for a winter party where you want sparkle without a seasonal color code. These are made to be seen, so they go over a shirt rather than under one, and they photograph well, which is half the reason anyone buys sequinned anything. Family gatherings, office parties, festive photo shoots and Christmas in July all fall within range. A matching bow tie or a plain black shirt gives them the background they need, and a full set of them across a group makes for a better photograph than any single pair alone.

The elastic makes them easy to put on and the adjustment covers most adult body types from a single size. Metal clips hold a waistband firmly without tearing at the fabric. Sequinned webbing should be hand washed and dried flat rather than machine washed, since a hot cycle loosens the threads holding the sequins in place. The clips are metal rather than plastic, which is worth knowing for a novelty item, since plastic clips are usually the first thing to fail on a seasonal accessory. Kept in a box between years rather than crushed into a drawer, a sequinned pair comes out of storage looking much as it went in.
