What to Wear to a Fetish Night

Last updated September 15, 2026

“Strict dress code” is the line that stops most men from coming to their first fetish night, usually because they read it as “you need an expensive wardrobe”. You do not. This is what it actually means.

What counts as gear

At FLTH, all of these are gear and all of them get you in:

  • Leather. Harness, chaps, trousers, vest, cap, gloves, boots.
  • Rubber and latex. Anything from a single piece to a full suit.
  • Neoprene. Warmer, more forgiving, cheaper than rubber, and it looks good on every body.
  • Skin. Jockstrap, harness, boots, singlet, or bare. Naked counts as gear.
  • Pups. Hoods, mitts, tails, collars.
  • Scally and sportswear. Trackies, football kit, trainers, caps.
  • Shiny. Lycra, spandex, wetlook.
  • Boots and workwear. Heavy boots, overalls, industrial kit.

What does not count

Street clothes. Jeans and a t-shirt. A shirt and chinos. Coming as you came from dinner. This is the entire reason the code exists: a floor where half the men are in gear and half are in denim is a different night, and a worse one, and the men in gear feel it immediately.

A ticket does not override the dress code. If you do not fit the code you do not get in, and the ticket is not refunded for that.

Never allowed

Nazi military dress and gore. This is not a matter of taste and it is not negotiable.

What to buy first

If you own nothing at all, in rough order of cheapest to most useful:

  1. A jockstrap. Cheap, and by itself it satisfies the code.
  2. Boots. Heavy boots carry an outfit further than anything else you can put on.
  3. A harness. Leather or neoprene. This is the piece that makes a man feel dressed rather than undressed.
  4. Then whatever you are actually drawn to. Do not buy toward a look you think is expected. The men who look best are wearing the thing they wanted to wear.

Borrowing is completely normal. So is arriving in less than you planned because it turned out to be enough.

A note on bodies

Gear is worn by every kind of body on our floor, at every age and size. The dress code is about gear, not about physique. Nobody is checked against a standard at the door except the one on this page.

Still unsure

Email info@flth.co.za and describe what you have. We would far rather answer that than turn you away on the night.
