Suspenders hold up stockings - braces hold up trousers!

As a British person it's a good thing I watch a lot of American TV programmes, otherwise I wouldn't have known this. It's not helpful saying that the British word is braces if that's not in the question.

Nannad,
When I was in junior school(1950's) we had to wear garters to hold our socks up, boys and girls.
Tight elastic around the calf is not good for blood circulation.

Perhaps this question is aimed at an age group a bit older than me, I'm 62. I say that because I've worn suspenders and like them, but have never seen leather ones here in the United States.

Only in the USA. They are called braces in the UK
