How to wear shirt stays

Ever wondered how the protagonists of Mad Men and Suits always have immaculately tucked in shirts? We wouldn't be surprised if they had a sneaky secret concealed in their trousers

Shirt stays work by attaching your shirt to your socks with adjustable elastic braces. Hidden beneath your trousers, they make sure your socks will never slip down and – most importantly – your shirt will stay immaculately tucked in all day long.

Sharp & Dapper's shirt stays are one-size-fits all and are handmade in England. Watch this video to see how you wear them...
