Check flyers / website to see if an event has a special themed dress code to give you inspiration for different outfit options.
But the usual enforced dress code is as follows:
Fantasy, Fetish, Latex, SM, Body Art, Drag, Burlesque, Moulin Rouge, Medical, Uniform, Militaria, Vegas Showgirl, Kit Kat Cabaret, Venice Carnival, Circus Freak Show, Boudoir, Top Hat & Tails, Electro Freak, Porno Punk etc.
We don't mind if you want to wear trainers, but we don't allow any regular street wear or club wear - No Denim, No Cotton T-Shirts, No Regular Suits, No Cheap & Cheesy Fancy Dress! No discussion - No Refund!
The TG dress code strives to avoid narrow limitations and encourage individual imagination and diversity. A modern fetish club is more about fantasy and transformation than just rubber and leather. Also, many of the best outfits seen at TG are made by those wearing them or assembled from various second hand articles (i.e: theatrical costume or uniforms).
So if you can't afford expensive rubber or leather costumes then explore personal fantasies and use your imagination, or even try body paint!
TG's diverse crowd is an edgy, contemporary and avant-garde take on fetish and fantasy, unique to TG and London as the best dressed in the world (check out the amazing gallery photos). However, as the fetish scene and TG become more famous and popular to the main stream, then the more accessible the scene can appear to new comers. Therefore there has been a commercial element creeping into sections of the crowd recently, and we've seen far too much bad taste PVC and cheap and cheesy fancy dress. This looks shit and makes TG look shit, so please stop it!!! If you have the bad taste to wear bad taste PVC and cheesy fancy dress please go somewhere else, we don't want you at TG!
Please, remember that TG is about glamour, fantasy, imagination and creativity. We want you to look like you have stepped out of an amazing film set, not from a cheesy stag or hen party. We want the diversity and the fun, but we want authentic costumes that are real. So authentic costume hire is great, but not cheap fancy dress copies. We are on the war path to eliminate cheesy outfits!!!
If you are male and it's your first ever TG and you're not sure what to wear, then perhaps a military look or top hat & tails cabaret look is an accessible start before investing in latex. But we expect a full and authentic costume with hat and accessories.
Dress the f*ck up! The more effort you put into transforming into somebody different from your day to day character the more you will get out of your TG experience.
Please, always remember that if your outfit wouldn't turn heads in the street - don't bother to wear it to Torture Garden.
We understand that not everyone is comfortable travelling to the club in their TG outfit, and you are very welcome to change once inside, but our Dress Code staff will ask to see that you have an appropriate outfit with you before letting you into the club, and we have roaming Dress Code staff to check all those inside are dressed appropriately at all times.
