Mastering the Art of Lewks: Essential Dress Code Tips
Working a lewk is an art form, and a skill. The more time you spend frequenting your local sex club, the better you get at pulling lewks.
The most important rule of all: know the dress code.
Here’s a whip-snap tour of ours, alongside some do’s and don'ts.
Bonus tip: If you want to approach someone, compliment their fit. Perfect play-party smoking area patter.
Our dress code exists to protect the party and ensure the comfort of everyone coming through. It shows us you have an awareness of the space you’re about to enter and signals respect for the norms in place.
When everyone is minimally nude, adorned in fetish garb, or channeling a fantasy with their lewk, it makes for an empowering and euphoric atmosphere.
What’s In
The usuals: Latex, lingerie, lace, leather, wet-look, PVC, mesh
Bodies: Nipples, bulges, butt cheeks, body hair
Accessories: Chains, whips, harnesses, fetish accouterments (but no weapons)
Slutty raver: Rave-wear befitting of a kink party
Creativity: Bold makeup and outlandish lewks
What’s Out
The following is not admissible:
Streetwear (civvy clothes)
Cotton briefs alone (accessorize)
Fancy dress
No effort made to fit with the dress code
Cultural appropriation
Lights or LEDs
Myths
You have to be naked: Not true. Materials are more important than full-frontal.
Fits are really expensive: They can be, but there are plenty of budget options found everywhere from ASOS to your local car boot sale.
Only certain body-types look good in kink wear: Definitely not true. Kink spaces are all about self expression and body positivity.
Tips
Buy investment pieces: Get a good base and style it with accessories.
Go second-hand: Type “latex”, “leather” or wet look” into eBay, Depop, Etsy, Vinted, etc.
Come to our socials: Buy from independent queer sellers at our markets.
We will be strict.
No effort to fit in with the code is a red flag. It tells us you either haven’t read the rules or don’t care for them. And you won't get in.
