Suspenders

Braces in most variants of British English (and also sometimes in North America) or suspenders in American English, are elastic fabric straps, run over the shoulders, that hold up trousers or a skirt. The entire strap of braces may be elasticated, or only at attachment ends, with the most of the straps being of woven cloth with either a X-Back or Y-back crosspatch and leather end tabs. Braces typically attach to trousers with clips or, less commonly nowadays, with buttons; heavy-duty Perry braces attach to one's belt with plastic hooks. For other uses, see American English (disambiguation). ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Pants. ...

Braces were once almost universally worn due to the high cut of late 19th and early 20th-century trousers; this cut made a belt impractical inasmuch as one's trousers were not made to rest on the hips. Modern elasticated (and better-fitting) garments may have played a part in braces falling out of vogue. Many business people, newscasters and lawyers, however, still wear braces, whether for image or comfort, and they are regarded as fashionable by most men's fashion experts in America (though not Britain).[citation needed] Such braces are usually considered white collar wear and are of high-quality, which typically means that they are made to be buttoned to trousers designed for them. A belt is a flexible band, typically made of leather or heavy cloth, and worn around the waist. ...

Suspended sentence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (182 words)
Unless a minimum punishment is prescribed by law, the court has the power to suspend the passing of sentence (generally for a period of three years) and place the offender on probation.
Suspended sentence is necessary for probation, but in cases where the penalty is recorded as suspended sentence it is often given to mitigate the effect of the penalty.
It is common practice for judges to hand down a suspended sentence to first-time offenders who have committed a minor crime, and for prosecutors to recommend a suspended sentence as part of a plea bargain.
