"Garters are a peacockish affectation that doesn't seem to pass muster anymore. Why not? They are uncomfortable and, with the advances in hosiery fabrics, completely unnecessary. It is quite possible to find excellent over-the-calf socks that stay up all by themselves. But men still wear suspenders, you might argue. Suspenders, however, provide a certain fit that can't be achieved with a belt. Garters provide nothing but a retro look at the price of discomfort. Now, if someone you are attracted to has a fetish for this item, the way many men have for ladies in garter belts, by all means, hang your socks from straps. Of course, if you're going to wear a kilt, you have to have your hose in place to look proper. But for most of us, most of the time, socks can stand alone."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
