| − | In [[BDSM]], a '''dress code''' is a policy of appropriate dressing for social events such as [[fetish club]]s and [[play party|play parties]]. It specifies how guests have to be dressed to be admitted into the event. Dress codes are usually enforced.

| − | The most important rule in a BDSM dress code is that guests' attire should be [[erotic]] and/or [[fetish]]istic; denim jeans, T-shirts or streetware are usually a no no. There are two reasons for having a dresscode. One is to discourage people not in the BDSM scene from entering the event solely to ogle at the guests, and another is to raise the event's atmosphere by ensuring that guests are dressed excitingly enough to attract others' attention.

| − | Dress codes are usually fairly standard between clubs but the types of dress worn by clubbers does vary depending on the type of club. [[Dance (clubbing)|Dance]] orientated clubs, such as Torture Garden have a "see and be seen" attitude to them, and the clubbers' attire tends to be much more individualistic. [[Play (clubbing)|Play clubs]] on the other hand are generally more conservative, with a focus on the more classic fetish stereotypes of [[rubber]] and [[leather]].
