Garter (English spelling)
|
A device for fastening socks. There are those that are tied with strings, those that fasten with loops, and those that hang from the top and fasten with clips. They were often made of elastic material with rubber woven into them, but with the spread of synthetic fibers such as spandex (elastic fiber) and pantyhose, their use has gradually fallen out of use. The ribbon decoration below the knee seen on men's clothing in the 17th century, which first appeared with the use of socks, is also a type of garter.

靴下を留める用具。紐で結ぶもの，輪で留めるもの，上から吊ってクリップで留めるサスペンダー式のものがある。材質はゴムを織込んだ伸縮のきくものが多かったが，スパンデックス (弾性繊維) などの合成繊維や，パンティストッキングの普及につれて，次第に用いられなくなっている。靴下の使用とともに始り，17世紀の男子服にみられる膝下のリボン飾りもガーターの一種。
