Belts and suspenders are accessories that serve to keep pants on the body, but can also add a fashion accent. Belts are typically made of a flexible material such as leather or fabric and are worn around the waist. They have a buckle that allows the length to be adjusted and the pants to be held securely in place. Suspenders, on the other hand, are straps that are placed over the shoulders and attached to the pants to hold them up. They offer an alternative way to wear pants and can also serve as a fashion statement. Both belts and suspenders come in different styles, materials and designs to complement personal taste and the occasion.
