WCIF Shirt Stays/ Shirt Suspenders

Looking for shirt stays or suspenders in Taiwan. Need to use it for a semi-formal party and my shirt looks like shit if I don’t use shirt stays.

Already looked on PcHome and Shopee, but couldn’t find anything (or maybe I used the wrong prompt for chinese searches).

Here’s an example of what they look like:

Hey, I googled “shirt stays” and found a couple on Shopee:

Maybe try searching in Chinese, like “正裝西服襯衣夾”.

Or, you know, just tuck your shirt into your underwear. That usually works better than just tucking it into your pants.

Works for short-term like 20 minutes or so, but the moving, bending, sitting, and standing just puts me back at the starting point of the issue again. Thanks for the tips though.

Have you considered less acrobatics? Sounds like you can avoid the issue by remaining in one position throughout the evening.

Haha, any mantras you recommend to maintain a zen state? It’ll be difficult to imbibe alcohol without having to get up though, and asceticism seems wasted on the evening. :wink:

You sure about that? What if it’s a white shirt? The front gets stained yellow and the back gets stained brown.

Come on now, there’s no way wiping is sufficient to eliminate all transmission, so don’t give me no backlash!

That I understand of course.

I have a great supplier of brightly colored polka dot suspenders and other specialty items in Alabama. Doesn’t usually ship internationally, but he can probably help out as a favor. Let me know if that would be of interest to you.

Shirt stays have been a godsend for me. I get mine off of Amazon[1] – many seem to qualify for free shipping.

My body shape - and maybe the stretch in my underwear (TMI?) - don’t make this effective for me anymore

Didn’t think that Amazon delivered to Taiwan. Thanks for that tidbit.

Free shipping requires you are an Amazon Prime member. And don’t forget the shipping company will ask you to set up the EZ Way app to handle Customs approval

well that throws a bit of a wrench into the works, but I’ll manage.
