For all wet look clothing lovers

Wet look clothing is a staple of alternative scenes for a reason. It's versatile, and goes with a wide range of alt styles; goths, punks, hipsters and kinksters alike can all work wet-look material into their wardrobe without seeming out of place. It's relatively inexpensive but appears to be an outfit that has had some effort put into it, meaning that it's a great way to get the look you're after when you're on a budget.

Some fetishists like it for more reasons than simply those, of course! It's usually thin, smooth and form-fitting, meaning that it's a wonderful way to show off a figure or heighten the sensation of being touched.

Why is wet look clothing so connected with fetish?

For a start it’s a practical, waterproof material which makes it good for all kinds of fetish and sex play. It emphasises the person’s body underneath as it’s often quite skin tight. It’s something that you don’t see people wearing in the street very often and as part of the alternative clothing scene it’s become included in kink clothing too.

I’m turned on by people in clothes getting wet, is that normal?

It is a fairly common fetish, as clothes when wet cling to the frame of the person wearing them and sometimes they go see-through. It’s also something you’re not meant to do, so adds that frisson of naughtiness when it happens. Enjoy your kink but do so respectfully. Someone caught in a summer storm isn’t consenting to being part of your fetish, so don’t stare or make them uncomfortable.

The two materials can look and feel different, though both have similar applications in terms of clothing and accessories (not to mention bedsheets and other kinky apparatuses!). PVC is often cheaper than latex, making it a great choice for someone just starting out with fetish wear.

Leather 'families' are essentially poly groups containing people who are especially into leather; they're a longstanding tradition with many of their own rules and habits.

For kinksters with a latex fetish

Latex is a flexible, flattering and versatile material used in all kinds of ways in the kink community. It's great for costumes of all shapes and sizes, latex dresses and latex catsuits are popular examples, and it's also a fantastic material for all kinds of toys and bondage gear. Bear in mind though that it does need some looking after; you need to be careful to only use water-based lubricants with your latex gear, and to rub your latex clothes dry with talcum powder after wiping them clean with some slightly soapy water. Pretty much any item of clothing has a latex counterpart, from stockings to hair accessories, so with a little shopping around you're bound to find something that suits you.
