Collection: Harness

Are you looking for a harness that sharpens your look and accentuates your silhouette? In our harness category you will find selected body, waist and chest harnesses, suitable for everyday wear and clubbing - without a fast-fashion vibe.

What a harness can do for your style

A harness is more than just a few straps made of faux leather. A good body harness frames your torso , accentuates your waist, shoulders, or décolletage, and transforms a simple black outfit into an eye-catcher for clubs, festivals, or photoshoots.

Whether over a mesh shirt, hoodie, dress or bare skin:

• You accentuate body lines without showing much skin.
• You bring fetish elements into your look without directly slipping into the playroom.
• You create clear contrasts with soft fabrics, lace or oversized cuts.

Combined with our tights or EASURE shirts, you'll create a style that looks like you – not mainstream.

Not every harness screams "dungeon crawler." In the EASURE category, you'll find different intensity levels to spice up your everyday life, your club look, or your stage outfit.

A few combinations for inspiration:

Festival and concert
Mesh shirt, harness over it, ripped shorts or black skinny jeans, chunky boots.

Club night or fetish event
A body harness worn directly against the skin or over a low-cut top, paired with our gothic hair accessories and a dark, flowing bottom. That's all you need to stand out on the dance floor.

Everyday Life & Corporate Goth

Photoshoots and social media content

Fit & sizes – what you should look out for when choosing a harness

A harness fits well when you can move freely, the straps accentuate your body, and nothing digs in. When choosing one in our shop, pay attention to:

Adjustment options :
Multiple buckles and holes mean more flexibility – ideal for different body shapes, layering or weight fluctuations.

Position of the rings and straps :
Do you want to accentuate your waist, broaden your shoulders, or highlight your décolletage? The product photos and descriptions will help you decide.

Comfort during extended wear :
For festival days and long club nights, harnesses with a soft edge and slightly wider straps are suitable to prevent digging in.

If you are unsure, we will help you with your selection – along with our size charts and style guides such as the Harness style guide .

Care tips for your harness

So that your harness will last you a long time:

• Wipe PU or synthetic leather with a slightly damp cloth, then allow to dry.
• Avoid strong heat sources or direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent the material from becoming brittle.
• Hang your harness up instead of squeezing it tightly folded in the closet; this will help keep the straps and shape stable.

In our blog articles about materials science and sustainability , for example in “Sustainability in Jewelry” in the jewelry manufacturing section, you will also learn how conscious material selection and care work together.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Harness

How do you wear a harness?

A harness fits best over a base layer: shirt, dress, bodysuit, or mesh top. You put on the straps like a harness or belt, close the buckles, and adjust them to your body shape until everything fits securely but comfortably. In Gothic fashion, a harness is often worn visibly over clothing to accentuate the silhouette, waist, and shoulders, giving your outfit a distinct dark fashion edge .

Why wear a harness?

In Gothic and fetish-inspired fashion, a harness serves as a statement accessory . It adds structure to a black outfit, creates visual lines, enhances the dark, occult, or BDSM-inspired look, and allows you to appear more confident and powerful. Many use a harness to express individuality, sexuality, or belonging to the alternative scene – at festivals, in clubs, or in everyday life.

Does a harness fit every body?

A well-constructed body harness has multiple adjustable straps and accommodates various sizes and proportions. In the EASURE collection, we focus on models with numerous adjustment options, allowing you to accentuate your waist, bust, and shoulders in a way that makes you feel comfortable. By layering it over a dress, shirt, or hoodie, you can integrate a harness into your look regardless of body shape, gender, or size.

Is a harness only for fetish or BDSM looks?

Many designs originate from fetish aesthetics, but in modern Gothic fashion, the harness has long been an independent fashion element . You can combine it subtly over a black dress or go for a bolder look with fishnet, latex, and platform boots – depending on how far you want to go with the BDSM aesthetic. In our category, you'll find both minimalist models for everyday wear and corporate Gothic, as well as eye-catching harnesses for clubs, events, and photoshoots.

What outfits does a Gothic harness best suit?

A harness harmonizes beautifully with simple, dark basics : black dresses, band t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, oversized hoodies, or high-waisted trousers. Worn over a simple outfit, a harness creates strong lines and contrasts without overwhelming the look. Our gothic hair accessories , necklaces , and bracelets complement the garment, rounding off the dark, sometimes occult, overall aesthetic.

How do I properly care for a synthetic leather harness?

Clean a PU leather harness with a soft, damp cloth and then let it air dry. Avoid using harsh cleaners or high heat to prevent the material from cracking. Hanging your harness rather than squeezing it will help maintain its shape, straps, and adjustment holes – perfect if you wear your favorite piece regularly to concerts, festivals, and club nights.

When does it become worthwhile to buy your own harness?

As soon as simple black outfits seem too "tame" to you and you want to embrace dark fashion more consciously, a harness of your own is worthwhile. It transforms existing clothing into new looks, saves you from having to buy completely new pieces, and strengthens your individual style – regardless of whether you're just entering the gothic scene or have been part of it for years.
