Clothing & Garments

Interests centred on what the body wears, from fabric to footwear.

Interests focused on garments and what they signify: footwear, hosiery, lingerie, uniforms, gloves, and corsetry. The charge can come from the material itself, from how it shapes or conceals the body, or from the role the garment codes.

Garment fetishism sits between the material categories and the role-based ones: the object is clothing, but its meaning often comes from the body it dresses or the role it signals. It ranges from footwear and hosiery (shoes, boots, heels, stockings, pantyhose) through intimate apparel and foundation garments to uniforms and other role-coded dress.

These are among the most mainstream of fetishes, woven through fashion and advertising. Expression is typically aesthetic and tactile, and is practised consensually.
