Second Skin: Couture Latex Fashion

Latex has stepped out of the fetish world and into fashion. Mixing latex with every day fashion is becoming much more popular now that the fabric is becoming more mainstream. While you are out on the town enjoying the sexiness of your new latex there are a few things to remember, it has the tendency to make you sweaty. Once you have been wearing it for a bit you will find that your body has created a nice layer of sweat between you and the garment that allows it to move and slide against your skin creating that sexy feeling we love. The downside to this is that dehydration can occur quickly, especially if alcohol is being consumed. Just remember to drink lots of water and be aware of what your body is telling you.

While latex does not breathe, it is not always hot to wear. Latex acclimates to the surrounding environment. If you are in a hot club, it will be hot and if you are outside in a cool breeze, your garment will feel cool to the skin. It also depends on how tight your latex is and how much of your body is covered.
