I get the impression that wearing braces is out of place and out of style for men under 50. Is this true? I mean, I sort of miss the days when more guys could wear them and they'd look good. But now, in this GQ fashion day and age, it appears that younger men and maybe even older guys just shouldn't do it. Just wear a belt and be done with it seems the mantra.
What do you guys think?

Braces are out of style for anyone past 6th grade. I wish I would've gotten them when I was younger.
Trends are cyclical, you have a chance to be a trend-setter, take it!
Grillz for the white man.
I like the idea of being a trend-setter, but not an oddball.
I would agree with Oreos statement above if you werent in banking. However, if you wear braces in banking and are under 55 (not even 50), it is so cliche and tacky that even your friends will think you're a complete loser for doing it.
In my opinion, leave it to the fashion forward stylists, celebs like Andre 3000, and red carpet statement pieces.
@technoviking: That's what I thought. Makes me almost nostalgic for a bygone era.
They are making a comeback as hipster wear, but as said earlier I would not touch them if you are in banking and are not a MD.
Rob the jewelry store and tell em make you a grill.

Ever consider invisalign? Jeeze. Or just do what Kanye did. Get all your teeth ripped out and replaced with

OMG People he is talking about suspenders, you idiots.
Yeah, but talking about the dental braces is a way more interesting conversation.
I dont think the invisaligns are all that bad. You can't really notice them unless you're up close to someone, and then it's only cause your teeth look shiny.
If I was a major rockstar producer, I would rock the old school metal with different color rubber bands to match my tie or something :) Hells yeah.
yeah, I started figuring that a little bit into this... I was gonna say, braces braces have never been in style. That, or I was a complete boss in the 5th grade...
Who the hell calls suspenders braces anyways?
The British you moron

You startled my nerves so much with your response, I'm about to go outside and burn a fag.

If you show up to work in suspenders, and you're my age, I will slap the shit out of you.
Suspenders are not braces.
Suspenders clip onto the waist, braces attach to buttons sewn into the waist.
HAHA wow I was confused as fuck too.. I was like when the fuck have braces ever been cool?
[TRY AGAIN][/TRY AGAIN]
Not working... :(

Chips are not crisps
They are fashion forward. Appropriate if you can pull it off on a night out or in fashionable society, but in the office, not at all.
haha smh at all of you....
Braces are long gone for a fashion statement.
It's ok wear it with a tuxedo.
Kid showed up in suspenders last year and they sent him home to change. Real talk.
LOL
That's awesome.
I'm really sad that suspenders aren't ok... I'd love to wear some suspenders in the office.
Sent him home? That's funny. Well, there are always three piece suits as somewhat of a substitute for the braces.
lmao. Why the hell do people think he's talking about teeth braces.
Those were never in "style"
^Because who the fuck calls suspenders braces.
ppl who know that suspenders have the metal clamps while braces insert over your buttons sewn into the suit. They're different.
