Garter Belt
Updated:A garter belt, also known as a suspender belt, is a piece of lingerie worn around the waist or hips to hold up stockings. It typically consists of a band of fabric with attached garters or suspenders that clip onto the tops of stockings. While originally designed for practical purposes, garter belts have become associated with sensuality and are often worn as part of intimate apparel or for sexual attraction.
Additional Information
Garter belts come in various styles, materials, and designs, ranging from simple and functional to elaborate and decorative. They are often made of materials like satin, lace, or elastic, and can be adorned with bows, ribbons, or other embellishments. While less common for everyday wear in modern times due to the popularity of pantyhose and stay-up stockings, garter belts remain popular in intimate settings and as part of vintage or retro-inspired fashion.
