Corset love – sensuality, attitude and kinky style
A guide for curious bodies, stylish fetish fans and kinky fashionistas
Why a corset is more than just a piece of clothing
You lace it up, you feel it – and suddenly everything changes. Your gaze becomes more upright, your gait prouder, your body a statement. A corset is far more than just a fashion piece – it's an invitation to redefine yourself. Whether you're playing with dominance and devotion, dancing in a club, or simply because you want to take your look to the next level: a good corset can do all this and more.
From then until now: The history of the corset
As early as the 16th century, corsets clung to aristocratic bodies—a symbol of virtue and status. In the 19th century, the wasp waist became an erotic style. In the 20th century, the corset became an integral part of fetish and BDSM culture. Today, it stands for self-presentation, style, and sexual self-determination—from the runway to the KitKat Club to the Queer Parade.
What is a corset – and what does it do to you?
A corset is a body-shaping garment that uses boning and lacing to accentuate your waist and alter your posture. It gives you control—or takes it away. It's precisely this interplay between form and function that makes fetish fashion so exciting: You decide how tight, how dominant, how seductive you want to appear.
Types at a glance: Which corset suits you?
Underbust corset: Leaves the breasts exposed, accentuates the waist – ideal for role play or club nights.
Overbust corset: Shapes the chest and waist, creating an iconic cleavage.
Waspie: Short, intense, wearable – perfect as a fetish accessory or for tightlacing light.
Special corsets: For bondage or discipline play with restraints, crotch straps or extreme tightness.
How long should you wear a corset?
It all depends on your goal. For a night out at the club, a short waspie corset is enough to accentuate your figure. If you want to permanently work on your waist (keyword: tightlacing), you'll need several hours a day in a well-fitting corset. Important: Your body sets the pace – pleasure comes not from force, but from play.
How do you lace a corset correctly?
Lacing is more than a technique—it's a ritual. Whoever laces you up has power. Whoever laces themselves up celebrates self-determination. Start loosely, tighten gradually, and pay attention to your breathing. You'll soon find our Styleplanet Corset Guide here with tips for different bodies and occasions.
What good is a corset for you – other than looking hot?
A corset literally gives you posture. It lifts you up, centering your focus on yourself. For some, it's pure eroticism; for others, empowerment. It can be an eye-catcher—or a second skin you wear just for yourself. In the kinky scene, it's both: a tool of pleasure and an armor of self-confidence.
Choice of material: leather, patent leather or latex?
Leather: dominance, strength, classic BDSM aesthetics.
Lacquer: Shines and provokes, ideal for eye-catching club looks.
Latex: Second skin, fits snugly – pure pleasure.
Satin or brocade: elegant, playful, perfect for burlesque or romantic outfits.
Corset for everyone: Gender & Diversity
Corsets have no gender. Whether you want to express yourself as masculine, feminine, or non-binary, many models can be adjusted to your body using lacing. Especially in the queer scene, the corset is a powerful symbol of self-expression, transformation, and playing with identities.
Corset in the club: nightlife, desire & look
Neon lights, bass, shiny vinyl corsets – on the dance floor, your body becomes a projection of your desire. Corsets are more than just fashion at fetish events, gothic festivals, or queer nights: They are visual statements, conversation starters, and invitations to play.
Current Trends & Fetishcore
Corsets will be back on the runways in 2025—and on your Instagram feed. Stars like Gigi Hadid and Violet Chachki are making tightlacing socially acceptable again. From fetishcore to retro chic: Whether latex with LEDs or brocade with ruffles—anything goes. White latex corsets for alternative weddings are also in demand.
