This is untrue. Anyone can wear leather corsets.

Corsets are excellent accessories for every individual that greatly enhance their look.

Myth #2. Waistband leather corset is worn to emphasize the waist

Corsets have more functions than most people realize. Apart from defining the waist, certain models also accentuate the collarbones, chest, and hips. Additionally, wearing a waistband leather corset can subconsciously encourage proper posture by supporting the back, leading to visual correction and tangible improvement in posture.

Myth #3. Corsets are always black and gothic

There's some truth here related to the origins of the accessories. They gained the most attention during the prevalence of gothic and punk subcultures. That's an unchangeable part of their history. 

However, modern designers have revolutionized the perception of corsets today. Want a leather corset belt? Okay! Prefer pink, brown, or red? No problem! 

Now, accessories are available in various colors and shades, and they have nothing to do with gothic symbolism, symbolizing elegance, refined taste, and uniqueness.

Myth #4. Corsets are uncomfortable and painful to wear

Let's be honest; this is perhaps the most widespread myth. People may have formed this opinion by associating stylish accessories with their 19th-century predecessors. Back then, to conform to the trends of the time, women dreamed of a "wasp" waist and wore belt corsets that spared no ribs.

Now everything has changed. At Bleak&Sleek, when crafting corsets, we choose only quality leather and adjustable buckles to adjust the corsets and belts for comfortable wear. Your comfort is our priority.
