They’re called braces in the civilised world.
Where I come from you put those on your teeth.
Where I come from, too. Context is all.
Sue,
Since this is a British moderated forum, braces are what gentlemen (sometimes) support their trousers with, and suspenders are what women wore (and sometimes still do) to keep their stockings held up
They’re not worn in the civilized world.
Nope. Them there is “galluses” ’round these here parts…
In the US they’re called suspenders, braces are for straightening your teeth. These are just regional differences – no need to get all hoity-toity about it.

What kind of Otello doesn’t wear a belt? A white one. Maybe he should wear a spacesuit. Why not make an outer space Otello production?
Aha, yet another Eurotrash production. How was the music?
The production is so ridiculous i would imagine it difficult to take the music seriously, no matter how good.
Braces.
That’s because the audience has to suspend disbelief!!
And what kind of Otello doesn’t look like a Moor? What’s next – a skinny Falstaff?
Are we not there to hear him sing?
You mean braces, Norman, if you’re British! Women wear suspenders!
This reminds me of a Monty Python song.
When I read your headline I expected him to be in drag! Now, that would have been a worthy headline! It’s usually old men who wear braces to keep their trousers up.
Presumably one who wants to keep the waistline of his trousers at a decent height to flatter the figure. Or who wears the costume he’s given by the designer.
“It’s just a jump to the left….”
Jonas Kaufmann can wear anything, his voice still thrills.
