best fetish clothing

Is it just us, or has kinky fashion gone mainstream? Maybe it's because sex parties are having their moment, or perhaps it's because celebs are embracing fetish gear with the underwear as outerwear trend – like Timothée Chalamet wearing a Louis Vuitton Harness on the red carpet, or Madonna in her classic BDSM-inspired fishnets and a jaunty military hat on Instagram.

Do you have to be kinky to wear fetish clothing?

Whether you're seriously into BDSM or if you simply enjoy the aesthetic but you're less bothered about experimenting with power dynamics, fetish clothing is fun to rock and it looks incredible on. Lacing up a corset will likely make you feel empowered and like a total 10/10.

“Fetish wear is about more than kinky sex,” says Elsa Viegas, Co-founder and designer at the erotic boutique Bijoux Indiscrets. “I see it as an act of rebellion, as a fashion statement and as an empowering accessory; for bedroom fun or when you match your favourite harness with a white shirt and jeans. Fetish-inspired clothes bring that touch of uniqueness to the outfits and we all want to be unique in some way, don’t we?” she adds.

If you’re ready to don something a little less conventional, allow us to introduce you to the best fetish wear for kinky encounters, sex parties, or eye-popping outfits to wear out on the town.

Imogen Latex and Ring Bra

You can't spell fetish without latex and the Imogen bra is the perfect way to kick off your collection. Shoppers say it looks great as part of the full set with matching latex pencil skirt and O-ring collar, or as part of a sexy night-out or festival look.

Be sure to buff yours up with some specialist latex shine spray – or a little baby oil if you're on a budget. P.S. This set also comes in baby pink, if Barbiecore is more your thing.

BEST MATCHING SET

Bettie Page Lingerie Imogen Latex and Ring Pencil Skirt

Imogen Latex and Ring Pencil Skirt

What happens when office chic meets full BDSM? The Imogen set, of course! A black latex pencil skirt is a serious look, especially when paired with the Bettie Page matching bra and collar from Playful Promises.

A silver-toned O-ring means you can attach whips, chains and leashes to your heart's content, or just wear your skirt out on date night to get your boo's heart racing.

The best thing about this simple harness from Bijoux Indiscrets is its versatility. Strut into any sex party in town and you can quickly establish your role as a dominatrix.

But wear it over a simple black dress while sipping expensive cocktails down a back street in Soho, and no one will bat an eyelid.

It's also adjustable and made from vegan leather, so it's cruelty-free (unless your sub asks to be spanked extra hard, of course).

BEST LATEX COLLAR

Crafted from playful purple latex with a silver O-ring, you can also choose your own colour, if you're more of a pink, blank or red kinda clown.

Each item is also made to measure, which is a great touch as the majority of collars are one size and can be too big or too small, which can spoil the fun a little.
