Why do they always have so many piercings?I feel like there's an overarching theme with this style of snowflake fashion. Can't exactly put my finger on why I find it so revolting. I have a feeling it's a meeting of sheer laziness and sheltered suburban naivete trying desperately to imitate whatever semblance it can of edgy urban punk fashion from back in the day and failing. Trying to rebel but having nothing to rebel against. No self-respecting delinquent would pair an aggressive mohawk or undercut and a nose ring with a preppy sweater vest and nerd glasses, or God forbid, suspenders. The latter are signifiers of a comfortable middle class gone soft from a life of being able to afford to avoid crime and conflict and by design cannot coexist with the former on the same outfit without clashing and making the wearer look hideously silly and garish. You can take one look at them and tell that they don't even know what values they stand for outside of hedonistic self-interest.
Suspenders in a formal setting are underwear, meant to be worn underneath your vest and jacket. The suspenders with a shirt and bowtie and Converse was aggravatingly popular for grooms/groomsmen at awful 'nerd' weddings for several years because it's 'quirky'.No, it depends on what you're wearing them with anyway. If you're going to dress informal it would be more sensible to keep the suspenders under your clothes if for some reason a belt won't do the job just as well.
