i have worn belts to hold up my pants most of my adult life. then when i was going through my athletic phase i wore mostly hoodies and sweats. now that i'm older i cant wear belts to hold up my pants,it hurts my stomach too much. i wear suspenders with my slacks, but you really cant wear slacks on those cold new york nights. so i have to wear something thicker like corduroy or denim. but is using suspenders to hold up your jeans a no no?
