Since its invention in the 1530s, the corset has been allowing us to choose beauty over comfort in a fairly extreme way. The first was made of whalebone, then advances in technology replaced bone with steels strips, spirals and rods. In 1562, Eleonora de Toledo was buried with her corset, which offered us an early specimen. In 1830, metal eyelets were invented, which made the construction and use of corsets much simpler. Around that time, the garment was not worn only by women, but was also in fashion for men, who were known as "dandies". In 1913, corsets started getting a bad reputation. Women's activists decried their health effects. The medical evidence on this point is ambiguous, but when the war years came around 1920, such luxurious garments were thrown aside in favor of practical and usable attire. Coco Chanel and other designers have often worked corsets into their fashion lines, but they are more often seen in kink wear and costumes. They are a central figure of the Gothic scene. They frequently visit the dungeons of the BDSM world as well. And surprisingly, they are sometimes recommended for doctors as treatment for certain back problems.

Shoes are useful for more than just walking. Both men and women have a tendency to fetishize footwear. High heels and boots being the most popular. Sometimes this is merely about appreciating the form. Once and awhile it involves smell. A lot of times, a Dom will walk on a sub and even make them lick the shoes or boots. This is a popular part of BDSM scenes. More fun with fetishes discussed here: Nylon Fetish, Sock Fetish, Women's Lingerie
High heel shoes give you a little lift and an extra sexy sway in your walk. Normally at least three inches high, the affect is to make the wearer's legs look longer and thinner. Many women wear a low "kitten heel" for a busy day, and higher, thinner heels for going out. Stilletos have super thin metal heels that can be 6 inches or higher. Walking in high heels can be a bit tricky for the unexperienced, as many a videos on YouTube demonstrate. Super high stilletos are not your only option- ankle boots, espadrilles and wedges are all designed to keep your legs and butt looking sexy without killing your ankles or giving you vertigo.

Attraction to someone in uniform is a turn-on as old as time. One might like to imagine that cops and soldiers were given such get-ups only to get an extra kick out of their after-work play. And it's not just guys at work who get us all hot under the starched collar: nurses, stewardesses, policewomen and even the less formally defined schoolteachers and librarians are hot for most people. Most people going all in with the dress-up game usually work some BDSM into their encounter. Maybe the schoolteacher with her hard yardstick will be enough for you, or maybe you want that cop to fully handcuff you to the bed and give you a real harsh 'talking to'. Power and dominance are natural aspects of the tucked shirt and the seamed panty hose. Add some heavy boots or stiletto heels and just about anyone will get down on their knees.

Wet look clothing and lingerie are often seen in the Gothic and BDSM scenes. They sometimes accompany lace, corsets, and fishnets, but are often worn minimally and with revealing cuts. They can be bought at most sex shops or in fantasy lingerie sections. Wet look clothes hug the figure tightly and are generally thin and smooth- hence the name. They also tend to carry temperatures quickly, so they augment the stimulation of getting hot and heavy with someone. They are great attire for role play, and tend to be the go-to uniforms for Tops and Dominatrixes. If you're new to the sex club/party scene, and aren't sure how you want to handle the dress code; the wet look is a simple and sexy option that will get you through the door for sure.
