Dress Like a Pirate in Suspenders, Matey

Ahoy, matey! Did ye know that September 19 is International Pirate Day? If ye ask us, every day should be International Dress Like a Pirate Day! (Not really. Yer wooden peg leg and parrot may prove mighty difficult after a while, argh.) Whatever day ye want to celebrate yer love of everything piratical, make sure you do with a set of suspenders fit for fair winds like these skull and crossbones suspenders from SuspenderStore. Speaking like a pirate aside, dressing like one is another story. These swashbuckling thieves of the open seas weren’t out to steal fashion tips; they mostly did whatever they wanted or literally stole the shirt from their conquests’ backs. For the most part, however, you can never go wrong with a nautical look when down on shore. Channel your dreams of that tall ship and a star to steer her by with a pair of vintage ribbon silk suspenders featuring graceful schooners sailing calm waters. A white and navy stripe combination is also an instant classic. When sailor stripes hit the fashion scene in the early 1900s, they instantly looked great on suspenders. Good news for us!
