Slim or wide, plain or patterned, there’s something for every taste and every mood—even the most unexpected ones. Go on, treat yourself to accessories that bring a truly unique touch to your look.
Clip-on braces or nothing!
Clip-on braces are THE must-have style right now—timeless and totally on trend! Take our “Lumberjack but not too much” wide braces, for example—they’ve got the advantage of clipping onto absolutely anything: jeans, chinos, suits, shorts, skirts… even underwear, why not? This year, there’s no excuse not to wear braces.

Patterned braces are also in
Flamingos, tropical plants, stripes, polka dots, checks, fish, octopuses… when it comes to patterns, the more the merrier! Whether colourful and bold or understated and subtle, Léon searches far and wide to bring you new on-trend designs each year.

For men or women, this season’s trendy braces add originality and colour to any outfit. To really show off those prints, wide braces are best. And honestly, we say go for it—especially the wilder ones! Tropical patterns are our favourites. We’re obsessed with “Green Kfeuillage” and “Ose le Flamant”—perfect for sipping mojitos on a sunny terrace. Even in boxers at breakfast, you won’t want to take them off.

Prefer parrots to flamingos? We’ve got those too! Check out the “Petit Coin de Paradis” wide braces—a true showstopper.
Their soft blue tones are perfect for summer and brightening up the winter months too.

Even with a jumper, patterned braces are still a great choice. Just because it’s cold and grey doesn’t mean you have to give up on braces! Not only are they original—they’re also seriously on trend. For a fashion-forward look, pair the Disparition Forestière wide braces with suede boots and dark denim. With that, Léon’s rocking a look worthy of the stars… Wearing the trendiest braces of the moment? Easy—with Léon

For the rockers among us, we take skulls all the way—to our braces! The To Be or Not To Be wide braces are perfect for Léons with a rebellious streak. These men’s wide braces add a bold twist of originality to absolutely any outfit.
Checks: a Timeless Classic for Our Trendy Braces
Traditional checked braces are making a comeback. They’re no longer just seen as “dad braces”! They work just as well on wide styles as on slim ones. For a more fashion-forward look, go for Aztec-inspired checks, like our Havana slim braces.

You can also go for trendy checked braces with a bold, graphic twist, like diamond patterns. Léon’s pick? The Losange Grand Cru wide braces—both classic and elegant, they’re perfect for everyday wear or the office. And ladies aren’t left out! Our latest collection includes the Silver Diamond slim braces for women, hand-picked by Madame herself. They’re bang on trend and pair beautifully with jeans for a casual look—or with a skater skirt for a vintage touch.


Classic Braces – A Timeless, Foolproof Choice
For a more classic look, you can let the pattern shine through your shirt—and pair it with wide black braces. They’re practical and go with absolutely everything. The perfect accessory for an everyday shirt—or even a tuxedo. Looking for something a bit more original? Go for polka dot braces. But be careful—avoid large dots, which can feel too loud. Instead, choose small, subtle dots that flatter the silhouette. Léon’s pick here: the Neige Nocturne wide braces, delicately speckled with white dots. Paired with a black shirt, it’s an elegant and refined look, perfect for a smart occasion… They can even be worn as wedding braces.


Stylish braces you can even wear to work
At the office, go for more subdued colours and patterns. That doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish—quite the opposite! It’s a great way to stand out in the open-plan or at the coffee break. You could opt for the Bleu des Gradés wide braces, which pair beautifully with a blue or grey suit. Their wide bands add a subtle touch of originality under your jacket. For something even more understated, choose a true classic in the world of trendy braces: navy blue. With the Des Gones wide braces, you can’t go wrong—they’re easy to match, flattering for the silhouette, and go perfectly with a crisp shirt.

We also invite you to discover the Bleu Garonne wide braces—navy blue with a subtle red trim. They bring a little something extra to this classic model. Both stylish and refined, they’re a firm favourite of our Léon. We recommend wearing them with a suit in matching tones. Under a jacket, the subtle glimpse is simply spot on.

Striped Braces
Striped braces? Always a big yes. But not just any stripes! Go for original colours and fine lines—that way, you avoid going over the top. To elongate the silhouette rather than weigh it down, opt for slim striped braces. The Strip Cool Heur slim braces are perfect for Léons who love colour and originality. With their mismatched multicolour stripes, they’re truly on-trend braces.

For a more understated look, we absolutely love the La Dolce Vita slim braces (and yes, the name suits them perfectly!).
This chic design, with a touch of Italian flair, is ideal for Léons who value elegance and want to stand out—just the right way.
This Season’s Trendy Braces Are Bursting with Color Too

Bold, Solid-Coloured Braces
Bold, Solid-Coloured Braces Plain braces are timeless. It’s a fact—they’ve always been in style, and they always will be.
The key is knowing how to pair them well. This year’s trend? Go for colour—bright if possible! For a bit of energy, a vibrant red is a top pick—perfect for summer and even winter. And just in time, our Empire et Dynastie slim braces have joined the collection… Léon has paired them with a striped Breton top and white trousers. Effortlessly stylish!

Men’s Braces with a Subtle Pop of Color
Bold prints and flashy colors aren’t always easy to wear. So for the less daring Léon’s who still want to rock trendy braces, we’ve added a discreet touch of color to our latest model: Bloody Wilde. Go for it—you’ll love that elegant pop of pink at the back.
