We have to admit when we first saw this trend on the runway we were a little bit shocked and a bit skeptical about how wearable it would be. However we have seen some recent runway and street fashion that has proven that when properly worn the body harness trend can be sexy, futuristic and very chic. This subtle touch of fetish wear has been working its way into women’s wear (maybe in part to the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey) and we like the direction its taking. From across the body harnesses to suspender like harnesses, these fashion pieces are making an extremely bold statement. We have seen these sexy little pieces at the runway shows of fashion icons like, BCBG Max Azria and Jason Wu.
The body harness has a couple variations, like the cross body harness. This type of harness will criss-cross over your entire torso and is by far the boldest way of wearing this trend. The cross body harness looks best with very understated and dark clothing. For a more relaxed variation of the body harness trend we recommend trying out a classic harness, which generally has a bit more femininity and elegance. This type of body harness is also better suited for women who have a large bust, since the classic harness won’t cross you upper cheat area.
The body harness trend also comes in the form of chain like jewelry, which normally hangs around the neck and also drapes across the waist or torso. This look is defiantly a more wearable and delicate variation of the trend since it has a less pronounced look. If you are thinking about trying this trend we would recommend starting with a body harness chain accessories and working your way up to body harness belts and clothing.
