Young Blonde Girl Wearing A Necklace And Hold-ups With Garter Belts Suspenders On The Table And Chairs Near The Window With Curtains

For everyday wear, many women wore stockings without suspenders by simply rolling the top of the stocking, because it was more practical, and thus creating a kind of ancestor of the modern hold ups.
Present-day use
Suspenders continue to be worn for their original purpose of holding up stockings. Suspenders today are available in a variety of styles, with red or black satin made from a mixture of nylon and spandex being the most popular.
