Black Wetlook Strappy Open-Back Tank Top - Cross Dresser

Two garments in one, depending on which side they look at you from

With its Cross Dresser collection, the European brand Regnes Fetish Planet speaks to men who want to explore new sides of themselves. This tank top is the perfect example: a classic design at the front, completely original at the back.

From the front, it's a fitted tank top in glossy black wetlook, with a round neck, that hugs your pecs and waist. From behind, there's almost nothing left: two straps cross between your shoulder blades, joined by a metal ring, then horizontal elastic straps dotted with rings close the sides. Your spine, shoulder blades and lower back stay bare.

Key features

The surprise effect. You walk in and people see a plain tank top. You turn around and they discover your back framed by straps. That contrast is the whole charm of the piece.

A back put on display. The straps emphasise the width of your shoulders, the relief of your lats and the curve of your lower back. It's an area you rarely show, and that's exactly why it has such an impact.

Harness codes, without the harness. Black elastics and metal rings recall the BDSM world, for an unapologetically masculine effect, with no extra accessory to put on.

A wetlook that sculpts. Stretchy thanks to its 5% elastane, it adapts to every body shape. Under the lights, the shine outlines your pecs and stomach.

Two possible styles. With a skirt and heels, it tips into crossdressing. With jeans and combat boots, it stays resolutely fetish and masculine.

How to wear it and with what

For a Cross Dresser look, pair it with the high-waisted mini skirt from the same collection, with fishnet tights and ankle boots, as in the brand's photos. A bodysuit or a fishnet top underneath adds sheer sleeves.

For urban fetish, wear it over black jeans, leather-effect trousers or a wetlook bermuda, with combat boots. Add a hood or a mask, and you're ready for a theme party.

At the club, it stands on its own: on the dance floor, your back does the talking.

Under a jacket, it stays discreet until the moment you take the jacket off. The stand-collar bolero jacket from the Cross Dresser collection completes the look perfectly.

The sex appeal side

The back is an underrated erogenous zone. With this tank top, it's offered to eyes and hands: fingers slide under the straps, follow your spine, move down toward your lower back.

The rings draw the hand. You want to brush them, to hook a fingertip through to pull you closer. Keep the gesture light: they're decorative elements.

If you're new to this, you get a top that looks classic from the front, so it's easy to own. If you're a regular, combine it with a harness, a hood or a skirt for a bolder look.

Usage tips

• Pull it on over your head while holding the straps so they don't twist.
• Centre the top ring between your shoulder blades before smoothing the front.
• Wear it on dry skin: wetlook doesn't slide well over damp or moisturised skin.
• No strong pulling on the straps and rings: they aren't made for tying up or suspending anyone.
• Take off your jewellery to avoid snags on the wetlook.

Care and cleaning

Hand wash in cold water, mild soap, no rubbing. Don't stretch the straps when they're wet. Dry flat, away from sunlight and radiators. No tumble dryer, no iron, no fabric softener. Store it flat, with the straps unfolded, so they don't tangle.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Is the fishnet bodystocking from the photos included?

A: No, the tank top is sold on its own, without the bodystocking or the skirt. The high-waisted Cross Dresser mini skirt is available separately.

Q: Is the back really bare?

A: Yes. Between the shoulders and the lower back, there's only the crossed straps, the horizontal straps and their rings. Skin is visible everywhere else.

Q: Can I wear it in a masculine look, without a skirt?

A: Of course. With black jeans, leather-effect trousers and combat boots, it's a very masculine fetish top. The skirt is just an option.

Q: Which size should I choose?

A: It's offered in M, for a chest of 98 to 102 cm and a waist of 83 to 87 cm. The stretch wetlook gives a little flexibility, but beyond those measurements it will be very tight.
