What Are Garter Belts?

Garter belts are high-waist suspender belts that can breathe new life into your lingerie by cinching your waist and emphasizing your natural curves. Garter belts have long hanging straps with clips on the end, so you can attach them to thigh high stockings or pantyhose — and have your partner take them off.

These strappy, adjustable pieces suit any lingerie look. No more worrying about flimsy straps ruining the mood. Go ahead. Make them as tight as you want.

What Is the Purpose of Garter Straps?

Traditionally, suspender garters were used to hold up hosiery, like stockings. Today, we use strong elastic that helps keep socks and stockings up, but wearers once used the clips at the end of garters to keep their hosiery in place.

Nowadays, people wear garters as a seductive symbol. Let your garter straps fly free for a naughty look in the bedroom, or take your time unclipping your tights to make them beg for more.

How Do You Use Garter Panties?

At Fleur du Mal, we’ve curated the perfect line of garter belts with matching bra and panty sets to bring out your inner seductress. Pair a sexy lace garter belt with lingerie like a thong, hipster, or g-string and a matching lace bra set or bralette for a luxury lingerie set that’s sure to leave them wanting more.

For the perfect fit, clasp your garter belt behind your waist. Make sure it’s snug for that cinched-in look. Then, adjust the garter straps to the height of your stockings or pantyhose and clip the straps to the top of your hosiery.

After that? Well, the rest is up to you.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Garter Panties?

Garter panties certainly have their practical uses. If you’re worried about your thigh-high socks or stockings falling down, you can simply clip them to your garter belt for support. Stride into every room with confidence, never worrying about slouchy stockings ruining your aesthetic.

Garter panties also have some uses that are a little more … fun. Play around with strapping your garter belt onto a sexy pair of sheer stockings, and either remove them in front of your partner for an enchanting, extended tease or let them give you a hand.

How To Style Garter Panties

You can style garter panties for an intimate experience or as a part of your look. Just like the corset look trend, we’re seeing lingerie on the runway incorporated into everyday for just a hint of sex appeal.

When you’re out and about, get inspired by runway trends featuring intimates and pair a garter over a t-shirt for a casual look, or let your garter straps peek out from under your skirt with a pair of fishnet tights for an edgier vibe. You can even leave your garter straps loose for a tousled, effortless look.

In the bedroom, the world is your oyster when it comes to garters. You can hide your garter and lace panties under a babydoll cover-up or other sleepwear for a magical reveal as the night goes on, or break out the blindfold for a dominatrix-inspired look.

Make a Statement, Lover

Sexy bra and panty sets aren’t the only way to give yourself a boost. Play around with garter belts and panties for an added touch of sex appeal. Pair these with a matching underwire bra or bralette for a top to bottom look, or wear each piece on its own for that touch of seduction in your next outfit.

Add our garter lingerie new arrivals to your wishlist for a special treat for you and your special someone. Wear them over your streetwear for a fresh off the runway vibe, or keep them under wraps for that ultimate late-night reveal.
