yes they needed braces to hold up trousers, that were weighed down with bulging wallets, overfull filo-faeces and brick mobile phones

I thought it was pretty self explanatory; braces should only be worn with trousers with side tabs (they'll usually have buttons to attach the braces to). Clip-on braces with trousers with belt loops are a no-no unless you're a lumberjack.
Whatever next? Brown shoes with a business suit?

Bespoke suits from Saville Row always have side tabs and buttons for braces. In that way the trouser hang correctly.
FWIW Bruce Crompton's collection of braces for the hirsute male are a case in point.

I do not get what you are saying, why would you wear braces with belt loops trousers without concealing the waist band, what do you think this is 1990 or the 1920's which may be more applicable in your case.

It's probably the only thing he gets right. Some of his colour combinations are a bit shouty.

spot on, although a bit of straw hanging out here and there would be more accurate

I have several pairs of braces, including my dads old army braces.
It depends on the trouser, I believe those with a long 'rise' benefit from braces. (high-waisted)
I wear shirts untucked and tucked in, so depends whether I choose belt or braces. All my braces are block colour, nothing garish.

Maybe an extra fly around the back ?

Quite right. No belt loops and a little gusset and belt at the back to adjust the width. They should be made for braces, with six buttons (4 front, 2 back) for the braces. They hang much better than trousers with a belt. Braces with metal clips are just horrible!

On reflection, I think there are two ways of adjusting the waistband: on the sides, with little buckles or little buttons, or at the back with a V-shaped opening and a buckle. Ah, a long-standing debate: should the pleats of the trousers face out, or in? And what about turn-ups? And trouser length?
