Dotted suspenders
Suspenders with dots - and dots
Trendsetters of bygone, more elegant days made the dots socially acceptable: the Duke of Windsor, Adolphe Menjou, Gary Cooper - just to name a few. Today, these dots, no matter what size, are not just considered suspenders, an integral part of the Gentleman's wardrobe.
Suspenders with polka dots
"Why it's called polka dots in English, nobody really knows anymore. Whether the similarly named folk dance is involved - that too remains a mystery. What is certain is that the beautiful, evenly distributed dots were first seen on the dresses of fiery flamenco-dancing Spanish women in the 19th century. Then, in 1926, Miss America wore a polka dot swimsuit (followed by Minnie Mouse) - and the triumphant march of the cheerful dots could no longer be stopped."
