I’ve been looking into how harnesses appeared in historical fashion. They weren’t always associated with BDSM or modern trends, but rather functional or military uses. Does anyone know more about their historical significance or how they’ve evolved?

Harnesses indeed have a rich historical background beyond their modern associations. Traditionally, they served functional purposes, especially in military and equestrian contexts, where they were essential for support and utility. Over time, harnesses evolved, maintaining their structured form while becoming symbolic in fashion for strength and resilience. Today, brands reinterpret harnesses, blending their practical origins with stylish, expressive designs. If you’re interested in contemporary takes, https://obsessharness.com/bdsm-harness/ offers pieces that pay homage to function and style, bridging historical use with modern aesthetics.

Absolutely, the concept of a "harness" evolved from practical use to ornamental. In the 18th and 19th centuries, corset-style harnesses were worn for their shaping qualities. Today, they’re more about expression, but their historical roots are fascinating!
