🇬🇧 FWL COOL BRITANNIA: Outfit Inspiration Guide
God save the kink.
This isn’t just a theme. It’s a #britcore takeover.
For this year’s Fetish Weekend London, we’re cranking the volume on everything iconic about Britain — the royalty, the rebellion, the tailoring, the underground nightlife — and pushing it gloriously, unapologetically into fetish territory.
If it’s recognisably British, dramatic, and just a little dangerous… you’re exactly where you need to be.
This is Cool Britannia, reimagined after dark.
Enjoy our outfit inspiration as curated by our partner Charmskool Shop- don’t forget to visit their epic 2 day Fetish Fair and fashion shows as part of FWL, and make sure you don’t miss a visit to their spacious stand-alone boutique, Charmskool Showroom, just 20 minutes from the main venue. There you can enjoy expert styling advice and explore further handmade fetishwear from 40+ independent sellers around the world.
👑 Royalty & Pageantry — But Make It Scandalous
Britain does ceremony like nowhere else. So let’s corrupt it beautifully.
Think coronation meets club dungeon:
- Crowns, tiaras, sashes and medals
- Latex gowns dripping in diamonds
- Leather military uniforms with regiment fantasy energy
- Velvet capes clasped with collars or chains
- Tailcoats worn shirtless
- Tuxedos cinched with corsets
- Breeches, boots, riding crops, top hats
Drag kings and queens? Not just encouraged — essential.
You are not the monarch.
You are the scandal the palace refuses to comment on.
🎸 Music Icons — Interpret, Don’t Cosplay
Britain gave the world attitude. Now give it harnesses.
Channel the energy of:
- Oasis swagger — parkas, attitude, undone confidence
- Spice Girls platform boots & unapologetic girl power
- Amy Winehouse beehive hair, smudged eyeliner, beautiful chaos
- The Beatles slim suits & 60s cool
- The Rolling Stones sleazy rock glamour
Now twist it.
Add leather trousers. PVC tops. Harnesses over tailoring. Chokers under collars.
You should look like you just left a stage at 3am — sweaty, iconic, unforgettable.
🧥 British Fashion Codes — Posh Meets Trash
Britain understands fashion extremes.
Mandatory flirtations with:
- Tartan
- Tweed
- Red, white & blue
- Union Jack details (tasteful or treasonous)
- Tailoring — from Savile Row elegance to art-school breakdown
Tailored or destroyed — both equally patriotic.
Mix aristocrat and anarchist.
Blend dinner party with dungeon.
This is couture with a safe word.
🌍 UK Subculture & Counter-Culture — Built From Everywhere
Britain isn’t one story. It’s layers.
Celebrate:
- Mods, punks, ravers, goths
- New Romantics and club kids
- Britpop kids & warehouse hedonists
- Caribbean, South Asian, African & diasporic influences
- Notting Hill Carnival flamboyance
- Sound-system energy and grime attitude
Think tracksuit with a harness.
Sportswear with latex.
Streetwear with chains.
From parade to warehouse — cultural anthropology, but hotter.
🖤 Formalwear — Elegant, Yet Wrong
Classic evening wear, disrupted perfectly.
- Gowns with boots
- Tuxedos with harnesses
- Corsets over crisp shirts
- Latex eveningwear
- Leather opera gloves
- Rubber stockings
- Masks, collars, cuffs, body chains
Decadent. Opulent. Slightly dangerous.
You should look like you own the castle — and the secrets buried beneath it.
🌾 Countryside Pursuits… After Dark
Rural Britain, reinterpreted.
- Tweed, jodhpurs, riding boots
- Gamekeeper chic
- Equestrian dominance
- Whips, gloves, discipline-of-sport energy
- Fox hunt… but maybe you’re the fox
Channel your inner Vivienne Westwood rebellion.
Country house tradition — torn open and remixed.
🕯 Victoriana & Gothic Glamour
Britain does mourning beautifully.
Let’s make it indecent.
- Bustles, lace, high collars
- Dramatic capes
- Dark romanticism
- Aristocratic menace
- Industrial revolution, but seductive
Think the theatrical darkness of Alexander McQueen.
If you look like you haunt your own estate — perfect.
⛓ The Fetish Foundation — More Is More
Whatever direction you choose, anchor it in fetish:
- Latex / PVC / rubber
- Leather or lace
- Harnesses & straps
- Collars & leads
- Corsetry & gender-blending silhouettes
- Stockings & garters
- Chains & restraints
- Masks & hoods
- Lingerie for everyone
Layer it. Clash it. Exaggerate it.
This is not subtle Britain.
This is Britain at full volume — theatrical, decadent, defiant.
Fetish Weekend London is calling.
God save the kink. 🇬🇧
