Latex, a material with roots in fetish culture, has been making a name for itself in luxury style in recent years. Kim Kardashian’s infamously skintight Balmain rubber look is one example, but Addison Rae and Hailey Bieber have also been spotted in the clingy fabric. Whether you’re a Kardashian-Jenner fan or are simply curious about the curve-hugging material, the right tips can make latex dressing easier than ever.
Aside from removing jewelry, the first step to putting on a latex dress is applying a lubricant such as talcum powder or silicone spray. The lubrication will help the garment slide smoothly over your arms and legs as you attempt to put it on. It’s important to note that, unlike most synthetic fabrics like silk and twill, latex does not have an inner lining. That means that any creases or folds in the fabric may catch on your skin as you put it on, which can result in small rips and tears that can widen over time into larger holes.
In addition to lubrication, it’s also a good idea to roll your latex dress up along the seams (or use one of the many dressing aids available) before you try to put it on. This will help the garment fit better, as well as prevent it from getting stretched out of shape while you wear it.
Finally, it’s best to avoid layering your latex dress with metal accessories. The bronze, brass and copper typically found in belt buckles, snaps and jewelry can cause discoloration on the surface of the rubber. This damage cannot be fixed, even with cleaning and laundering, and can create small, unsightly patches on the surface of your latex dress.
If you’re planning to wear Latex dresses your latex for a long period of time, it’s a good idea to let it warm up prior to putting it on. This will not only improve the comfort of the garment, but it will also help it stretch slightly more than if you put it on while cold.
Lastly, remember that women are the majority of the target audience for latex, and as such, they typically have more choice when it comes to dresses, stockings and other feminine pieces. Men can also wear latex, but it’s a bit more challenging to find suits or other menswear-style clothing in the material.
To make your latex dress last as long as possible, store it in a dark, cool place in a garment bag. The garment bag will protect it from fading and keep it free from dust and odors, and it’ll also help the latex retain its elasticity and suppleness. You should also avoid exposing it to sunlight, as the UV rays can cause the rubber to become brittle and stiff over time. You can also add a little extra shine to your garment by using a silicone-based sheener to restore the original sheen that came with it. And, of course, always wash and hang your garment with care to prevent mildew, odors and other unpleasant side effects.
