From Tall Boots to Sexy Corsets, Latex is Taking Over
Knee-high boots, long opera-style gloves, cat overalls, or figure-hugging dresses—this season, everything looks better in latex.
Let’s talk latex. One of the emerging trends within pop culture and fashion houses is latex. Influencers, designers, and celebrities like Kim Kardashian have sported the material on several occasions. If you recall, during the premiere of the Kardashians’ Hulu show, the socialite wore a liquid latex gown designed by the legendary Thierry Mugler.
From embracing cowboy boots to corsets, the world of fashion continues to push the boundaries with new fabrics. Despite being a risk-taking look, latex, a material that is rooted in fetish culture, is now making a name for itself in luxury style thanks to the support of celebrities and designers. In 2021, Doja Cat performed her hit “Say So” in a Jean Paul Gaultier black latex catsuit; earlier this year, Hailey Bieber wore a 2000s baby blue latex dress in a camisole slip silhouette for a date with her husband Justin Bieber.
Undeniably, latex clothes can be an intimidating item, but it has been a preferred material for many. If you are curious about how to wear latex or want to add pieces to your personal style, L’OFFICIEL looks to celebrities and models for inspiration on how to wear latex.
