THE
GARTER
BELT
Garter belts were designed in the 1920s as an alternative to uncomfortable and restricting corsets. Women could just slip into a belt and attach their nylons directly to it, instead of to a corset or girdle. This was important because during the 1920's, large numbers of women abandoned the confining corsets; thus was born the flapper, who scandalized the previously staid fashion scene. The glamour of stockings also evokes the 1940s and 50s and the golden age of sensual Hollywood femme fatales.
Since the early 1960s, when men's magazines featured images of women in underwear, they have acquired an erotic element. Why does the slightest glimpse of a lacy stocking top, a taut suspender or a naked thigh above the stocking turn men mad with desire? What is it about suspender belts, garter belts and their intoxicating effect on males? I think it's all about contrasts. Black stocking against white thigh. Even long black gloves can be a male turn on when covering a white arm.
Stockings and garter belts can play roles in erotic fantasy. Some women will include garter belts as part of a sexual fetish costume. They are usually made of lace or other silky material. They are considered to be part of lingerie and they come in variety of styles and colors. Generally speaking, if the desired effect is achieved, they don’t stay on too long. Even though panty hose and tights have taken the place of garter belts and stockings, garter belts continue to be worn. They are considered a reflection of their enduring role in erotic fantasy. For women who like dressing seductively for their partners, garter belts have a lasting place in modern history.
