The world of fashion is never boring, but sometimes the latest trends can seem a little bit too extreme, especially if we’re talking about harnesses which we associate with a risqué S&M vibe beyond your comfort zone. This seriously seductive accessory has been adopted by mainstream fashion recently, with harnesses gracing the runway a few times over the last couple of years.

In its most basic form, a harness is a series of belts. They don’t really serve a functional purpose in the traditional sense but they certainly function as a statement piece that can completely change an outfit. The harnesses can be great ways to exaggerate a cinched waist, or draw the eye to a particular part of the body. For the male physique its an ideal way of drawing the eye to certain areas of the body giving the illusion of a broader chest and torso.

Keep it simple when it comes to styling - wear over a white shirt or plain t-shirt or incorporate over or under a suit jacket to add that element of sexual undertone just as Adam Rippon did at the 2018 Oscars.

ASOS are currently selling a number of harness' from the traditional leather to the more stylised chain designs.
