Bertelles Selvedge Wide Braces with Navy Stripe
Bertelles Selvedge Wide Braces with Navy Stripe
These wide Bertelles braces with a navy stripe on an ecru base work particularly well with denim, chinos and more relaxed higher-waisted trousers. The light background makes them more distinctive than conventional single-colour braces, while the classic combination of navy and brown leather remains easy to wear. Thanks to the interchangeable fastening system, they can be worn with brass clips or traditionally attached to trouser buttons using leather loops.

What I appreciate most about this model is its colour combination. It is more distinctive than conventional single-colour braces, yet still easy to pair with dark or mid-blue denim. The light ecru base makes the braces a visible part of the outfit rather than merely a functional accessory. The option to begin with clips and later switch to leather loops is also practical, with the latter providing a cleaner appearance when attached to buttons sewn inside the trousers.

I would personally wear them with higher-waisted dark denim, a blue chambray shirt and brown loafers or leather lace-up shoes. They also work well with beige or olive chinos and a plain shirt. As the light background already gives the braces a distinctive presence, I would keep the remaining patterns in the outfit relatively understated.
