Sequin New Year’s Suspenders

Description

Sequins cover the full face of these straps, in red, gold, green or silver. The build is polyester and elastic with plastic components, and the shoulder to waist measurement is 61cm, or 24.02 inches, with an adjustable buckle to set it. Under any kind of artificial light the sequins throw the light back, which is the entire reason to own them. Coverage is complete rather than partial, so no plain webbing shows between the sequinned sections.

New Year’s Eve is the peak occasion, and gold and silver are the colours picked most often for it. Red and green shift the same pair to Christmas, so a set can cover the whole run from December into January. They also get worn to disco and party nights, to photography sessions where a bit of shine helps under studio lighting, and to evening walks and night runs where being visible matters. They are cut for men and women alike. They photograph unusually well, which is why they get bought for events where the pictures are the point. Under a flash the sequins pick up light from every angle instead of going flat the way a printed fabric does.

The adjustable buckle handles fit from the 24.02 inch shoulder to waist span, so one pair suits a range of torsos. Cleaning needs care: wipe gently with a damp cloth and do not immerse them in water, since sequins and stitching do not survive a soak. Set the buckle once and the length holds, and the elastic gives enough to sit comfortably through a long evening.
