Braces are a fashion accessory used to hold up trousers, skirts and shorts. They can be worn by both men and women. There are two principle types of braces: those that are attached to the clothing or underwear and those that clip on.
If they are part of the clothing, braces usually consist of two fabric or elastic straps that go in front and behind the outfit, fitting over the shoulder.
Hooked or clip-on braces are removable, and usually attach to the waistline of trousers, shorts or a skirt, sometimes crossing over in the back.
Braces are also a fashion accessory. They are associated with punk amd skater looks, when they are worn hanging to the sides instead of over the shoulders. For Autumn/Winter 2007-2008, over the shoulder braces became a big feminine trend. Brands like Maje and Comptoir des Cottoniers sold oversized trousers with braces. Since then, braces have slowly become a trendy wardrobe extra.
