Most people use velcro for armor (they'll sew one part of the velcro onto their undersuit and the other side will get attached to the armor) but it really depends upon the piece and how it fits on you. Same color as your suit straps are a way to go as well.

Some people use snap plates, or rare earth magnets, or as Jester pointed out Velcro. I have seen combinations of these as well. There are a number of various options and it never hurts to look at what clones and storm troopers have done as many of the same principles can be applied for the TFU guard armour.

I was thinking of going to the snap plates , so do you need stapes to be visible ?

If you have straps, they should not be visible.
