In recent years there has been an unprecedented growth in the popularity of latex clothing. With an explosive, and seemingly nonstop, number of new
latex fashion designers and brands
being launched each year there’s now more choice than ever available both online and from boutiques in most major cities.
And with celebrities, musicians and movie stars such as
Kylie Jenner
,
Christina Aguilera
and
Amanda Holden
embracing the world of latex fashion the profile of this mysterious, but wondrous, material has never been more in focus.
But what’s it like to wear latex every day, and how easy is it to integrate into your normal wardrobe?
I’ve been wearing latex clothing for nearly five years. Incorporating everything from dresses to leggings, tops and bodysuits into outfits which include this unique fabric.
The most common question I always get asked is, “What does it feel like?” Firstly, latex clothing feels incredible. I feel empowered and sexy, and some of the shiny garments definitely make me feel like a superhero, giving off total indulgence vibes!
And who wouldn’t want to feel like that, right!
Whether your curvaceous and voluptuous, or svelte and toned, latex clothing enhances your natural curves. I’ve only ever received positive comments from people when I wear the material in public – whether it’s a quick dash to the shops wearing a shiny bodysuit and jeans, or a night out on the town in a full-length thigh-high split latex gown and heels, folks only ever compliment the allure of latex.
But isn’t latex clothing difficult to put on? Sure, it can be but with a little practice and knowledge. Latex clothing often has to be ‘rolled’ along your body. Reputable designers and brands will often include latex care and wear guides, and dressing aid from brands such as
beGLOSS
and
Vivishine
are most definitely your friends. For additional advice, tips and tricks, the latex community is most definitely one of the most welcoming communities there is. And if you want one-to-one advice there are a huge number of
retail latex clothing stores
where staff will always be happy to provide guidance.
And what about the perception that latex fashion is tight and restrictive? In some cases that can be true (for a number of people this is the main appeal of the material) but it can easily be just as comfortable. Skirts, sleeveless bodysuits with rear zippers, tube tops and summer dresses can all be purchased in loose fitting styles and cuts, perfect for the summer months ahead.
And for the ultimate showstopper there’s always the elegance of a full-length latex gown! Who says latex fashion can’t be accessible!
With a little thought, and choosing the right latex wardrobe staples, latex fashion can easily be worn every day. There really is no feeling like pairing a set of latex leggings with a nice comfy oversized jumper (absolutely perfect for that weekend shopping trip to the mall), or super cute skater skirt with an even cuter vest top. Don’t let those nearsyarrs make you believe otherwise!
For the ultimate cute look I adore combining a latex crop top (such as this one from
Bright and Shiny Latex
) and jeans, the absolutely ideal mix for any occasion and is so versatile for inclusion in so many other outfits, all with a touch of added shine. It’s easy to put on and comfortable to wear for long periods of time.
Fancy a little something for that relaxed weekend city trip and be ready for a stroll through a capital you’ve never visited before? Then you can’t go wrong with a shiny, translucent sleeveless bodysuit (like
this one from Libidex
) matched with a pair of baggy casual jeans for a gorgeous combination. Comfortable and eye-catching all in one incredible outfit, it’s perfect for both day and night thanks to its adaptability. Throw on a jacket as the sun sets and the air cools.
There really is no feeling quite like the sensation of wearing latex clothing, and with some carefully chosen garments, latex can easily become part of your normal everyday wardrobe for a comfy and fun outfit options. It truly doesn’t matter if you’re extrovert or introvert – latex will make you feel empowered and like a Superhero!
