Although latex it already such a strong statement, the “added” you truly provide can only accentuate your outfit, making it a statement in your look and shaping it into a well thought-out ensemble.
The ideas for your accessories with your latex bodysuits are all about how to have a great give and take of the strong presence of latex and “things” that compliment and to flatter your look, without being “too much.” Below will be some “tested” accessories for your latex bodysuits that you can use to express your style in a way that you are personally confident.
Footwear: The Foundation of Your Outfit
When it comes to accessorizing a latex bodysuit, the shoes you opt to wear will heavily influence the overall vibe of your look. Because of the polished, shiny appearance of latex, shoes generally look good with latex, but some styles will elevate the outfit.
If you want a sleek, modern look, high-heeled boots or stilettos are your best options. High-heeled shoes will not only enhance the figure-hugging nature of latex, but will create a long, lean silhouette that exudes confidence and power. Whether you opt for ankle boots or knee-high, a pair of high-heeled shoes are sure to generate heads turning. High patent leather boots are particularly appropriate as they align closely with the shiny lacquer of latex to create and cohesively edgy outfit.
If you would prefer an option that is much more comfortable, while remaining stylish, than high-heeled boots or stilettos, platform shoes are also an excellent choice. Platform shoes provide height and presence, while also remaining more comfortable than traditional stilettos, making them a practical yet stylish option when you’re planning to be out for an exceptional amount of time. In associate with the bobble of the skirt, platform shoes lend a more stylish, retro vibe if you re intending to wear the bodysuit for going out or a themed event.
Lastly, you can always wear the bodysuit with a more casual shoe choice such as combat boots, or even sneakers or extremely chunky boots. Footwear creates a very interesting and noticeable contrast when paired with the smooth, lacquer finish of a latex bodysuit while still maintaining trendy streetwear elements. This footwear option would be useful and comfortable and also ensure your outfit isn’t too dressy or formal. If you like latex but still want to maintain a relaxed level of comfort, this is an easy idea.
Belts: Command your Silhouette
Belts are a simple but effective way to define and embellish a latex bodysuit. Depending on the bodysuit’s style, we can use a belt to emphasize the waist, thus accentuating a more curvy, hourglass figure, in addition to providing slimming detail and reinforcing the subtle elegance of latex as a fabric that hugs the body. Broad belts with bold buckles work especially well in this context, since they lead the eye to the specific area of interest and create a strong contrast with the overall smoothness of the latex bodysuit.
If we want a more understated depiction of this relationship, we can use thin, smooth, metallic belts. These add a particular level of sophistication and layering detail without having a bulkier presence in our outfit. In this case the metallic finish of the belt, in silver, gold, or chrome tones adds additional rounding of light against the Madonna stumbles in sky-high heels at Luar fashion show during NYFW finish which adds shine to the outfit (effectively replacing the bulk of other detailing).
If we feel like stepping outside of our comfort zone we can borrow ideas from customized looks that use studs, chains, and embellishments. This added layer can feel even edgier, and can be fun for those who want to experiment with additional boundaries to fashion. Outfits with an oversized, gaudy buckle, or chain link belt will also help draw attention to the waist as detail instead of chit the bodysuit feel more stylized and customized as part of the ensemble.
Outerwear: Layering in Style
One of the unique features of latex bodysuits is how well they pair with outerwear. The right layering piece can drastically change the experience of the latex bodysuit, transforming the piece from sleek and sexy to sophisticated or a little rebellious, depending on your personal style and the occasion.
A classic layered look over a latex bodysuit is to wear a leather jacket. Latex and leather combination gives off a chic, edgy look that is suitable for many occasions from going out on the town to simply being daring and stylish as a statement outfit. The contrast of latex and leather look completely agreed in style as perhaps they would even look completely blended together. A cropped biker leather jacket could highlight the sexy features of a latex bodysuit, while a longer trench coat adds length and drapes, allowing for a new look as the coat has worn as an outerwear. Whatever the outerwear style is, wearing leather with latex always adds a rugged feeling.
If your look is for an elegant look; Layering a latex bodysuit with a blazer, or tailored coat is also ideal. Whether wearing a simple dark fitted blazer or a muted monochromatic tailored menswear coat that fits very well; layering with outerwear for an elegant appearance, latex made garments are quite suitable for an elegant outfit. The bodysuit does many things balanced, being bold and sleek while pairing with an outerwear layer that smoothes it out and adds polish. This look is in many environments as the outerwear has worn keeping elegance, yet adds a particular touch to wearing rubber skintight bodysuits that is remarkable; such as a special event, work environment, school event….
If you want to add a little color to complement the look of your outfit; you can also layer with a faux fur coat that fits or that also works over the bodysuit. Faux fur can give an element of luxury and fun to the bodysuit; it fits so nicely and if color is a desired experience- it gives it a special appeal whether wearing to a special occasion or just experimenting with your look. Bold colors or prints can make the outfit be fashionably aesthetic, while the bodysuit has a sleek glossy surface giving visual rules… the reviews.
Jewelry: Less is More
The first thing to remember about jewelry when accessorizing a latex bodysuit is that less is typically more. Latex is such a bold statement piece on its own that you don’t want to compete with the jewelry when putting the accessory together. The jewelry should enhance the minimal, modern feel of the bodysuit.
While large, statement jewelry can be effective, you need to be cautious with chunks of jewelry. A statement necklace or oversized earrings can add nice detail to the body suit, especially if the texture of the jewelry contrasts with the shiny, solid surface of the latex. Jewelry with metallic tones such as silver, gold, or rose gold, is going to look flattering when used because it reflects light similar to, or draws attention to, the glossy look of the latex.
Alternatively, simple jewelry can be chosen to highlight the bodysuit. Simple stud earrings, a simple chain necklace, or a simple cuff bracelet add shine and detail while leaving the bodysuit alone. If you enjoy a streamlined, minimal modern look, I would go with simple jewelry, as such pieces will be less conspicuous than textural or flashy pieces.
Gloves: A Timeless Add-On
Gloves are a timeless add-on to go with a latex bodysuit and take the latex vibe to the next level. Opera-length gloves made from latex or leather will bring an entirely different layer of style and drama to your outfit, creating an even more impressive look.
If this is a bit too much, go with shorter gloves or fingerless gloves that will allow you to retain the edgy layer without it stealing the show as it does with the longer gloves. Latex gloves that match or coordinate with the color of your bodysuit will create a complete monochromatic vibe, which is very fashionable. For a slightly tougher aesthetic, go with gloves that have studs, zippers or another studded addition.
Bags: Practical yet Stylish
Selecting an appropriate bag to fit with your latex bodysuit can be difficult if you wish to find a bag that is practical, stylish, yet does not compete with your outfit. A small, structured clutch bag will often be the best choice to insert elegance into your outfit without competing with the statement piece of the bodysuit. Utilize a metallic clutch or patent leather’s sleek finish, which will match nicely with the finish of the latex, as a clutch.
On the other hand, if you seek a more practical solution more crossbody bag or hip ally style backpack could bethe the best option for more casual looks like the bodysuit itself. Also, you will want to opt for bags made from neutrals or very minimal designs so that bag does not take focus away from the bodysuit itself.
Harnesses and Straps: Edit’s Take
If you’d like to take the look of a body suit to the next level, this option suit will allow you to Zenn to an entirely new level. Harnesses, or body straps are a bolder accessory option to consider. They add a additional layer of texture and dimensionality to your look and create a more structured and daring overall look. Leather harnesses or straps with metal hardware detail can easily add an industrial chic look to the womens latex catsuit itself as they can aid in elevating any outfit, and making you the statement maker of any group.
Harnesses, or straps, in fact are a very desirable accessory in any alternative fashion, or scene, as the act of wearing says a lot about specific feel, along with puzzling together the sense of “on the run” chicness any “so-called” rebel or avant-garde, outfitin could achieve. You can put a full body harness on, or multiple straps worn across the back or chest or even the waist. Either way, pages will give the bodysuit angle.
Hats and Headpieces: The Decorative Finale.
Another great way to finish off a latex bodysuit look is with hats and headpieces. If you are looking for a more sleek and futuristic vibe, a structured hat or bold headband are both options for you. Wide-brim hats or fedoras can create a mysterious and glamorous quality on any outfit, while more avant-garde headpieces are also another way to obtain a high-fashion look.
If you are looking for something a little less bold, a simple beanie or beret are great for a more relaxed and casual look, while still adding some personality to your outfit without overstepping the boldness of the latex.
Conclusion
Accessorizing a latex bodysuit is all about balance. The goal is to enhance the audaciousness of the latex bodysuit but not overshadow the outfit. With the right balance of shoes, belts, outerwear, and accessories, you can create an aesthetic look that portrays who you are in that moment. Over time, perhaps your look will become more and more edgy, or more elegant, however, the goal is to select those few accessories that help you create a look that is based around your latex bodysuit, while once again feeling confident in it.
