Harness & Cage Skirts
Piente's harness skirts sit between structure and movement — strap detailing layered over a base that still moves with you. Whether it's a cage skirt for a night out or a subtler garter skirt for everyday wear, the shape holds without holding you back.
Harness Skirts Built for Movement, Not Just Looks
A harness skirt only works if the straps do more than sit there. Piente's cage skirts use a rigid strap frame over a base layer, so the structure holds its shape while you walk, not just when you stand still. It's a piece designed for a night out where the outfit needs to move as much as you do.
Cage Skirt Styling
A cage skirt reads best layered over a solid base — a slip skirt, shorts, or leggings underneath, with the strap frame as the visible layer on top. Keep the rest of the outfit simple: a plain top and one statement accessory is usually enough.
Garter Skirt vs. Traditional Skirt
A garter skirt keeps a familiar silhouette but adds strap detailing at the waist or hem, often tying into a garter harness underneath. It's a quieter version of the cage skirt — closer to daywear, further from costume.
- Adjustable waist straps on every style
- Lined base layer, no see-through panels where it matters
- Available in matte and metallic hardware finishes
Complete the set with a chest harness or garter harness, or keep it simple with a leather waist belt. For the wider strap-based range, see women's harness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a harness skirt?
A harness skirt combines a base skirt layer with structured straps on the outside, ranging from a full cage skirt to a subtler garter skirt with waist detailing.
Is a cage skirt see-through?
No, Piente's cage skirts have a lined base layer underneath the strap frame, so the straps are a visible layer over a fully covered skirt.
