Women have it great when it comes to clothes in general, because they can wear all kinds of bright colors, beautiful prints, and soft, sensual fabrics. They have all kinds of choices that men don’t have when it comes to clothes, and that is also true when it comes to lingerie and fetish wear. Go to any BDSM convention, and the vendors area is loaded with gorgeous clothing choices for women in beautiful colors and fabrics, but the men’s choices are much more limited. There might be a vendor or two that sell kilts in leather and other fabrics, and some of the leather shops can make leather pants, vests and chaps, but that tends to be the extent of the choices for men. Most guys show up at conventions with black jeans and a variety of black shirts with their favorite black leather boots, a black leather vest and maybe a great black leather belt.
Women don’t even have to purchase pre-made clothing for fetishwear. They can usually put together interesting outfits from the things they already have in their closets. A suit jacket with beautiful bra and panties, a garter belt and stockings and high heels makes a perfect outfit. A leather belt over the jacket can make her look a little more authoritative if she’s a Domme. Thigh high or crotch high boots are always sexy with anything short; a suit jacket, a long camisole top, a satin and lace chemise. Sometimes mixing the satin and lace of mainstream lingerie with stark leather pieces from the BDSM world can be a really great contrast that looks really hot and will have male submissives coming out of the woodwork to try and get the lady’s attention. For women who tend toward very classic and vintage styles, vintage girdles and slips can be a very hot look. Vintage fashion – lingerie, clothing and shoes – is actually a very popular fetish. There are always shoe vendors at the conventions that carry vintage style shoes to wear with all the great vintage looks that are found easily on the internet. Women who love the leather look can look at leather corsets, bras, thongs, skirts and even garter belts. Leather is always a great choice for fetishwear, and one can never go wrong with black anything, especially leather.
