Collared and Claimed: Why Wearing a Collar Feels Like Coming Home

Why Wearing a Collar Feels Like Coming Home

In queer kink, collars aren’t just for dogs (unless you’re a pup of course). While collars can simply be a hot fashion statement, in queer circles a collar isn't just a fashion accessory.

A collar symbolizes devotion, declaration and ownership. Whether it’s well-worn leather, a dainty chain tucked under a shirt, a smooth steel ring around the neck or chains with a lock and key is that they are all worn with intention. These are symbols of trust, dedication, and (most importantly imo) love.

To be collared by someone you love symbolizes that you’re seen, you’re claimed and you belong and this is just as emotional as it is erotic. Collars can be a sign of a power exchange, of a Dominant and a submissive’s relationship or it could be someone showcasing their own devotion to themselves and their desires in an act of self-collaring. 

From subtle day collars you can wear to brunch with your mom to big, bold statement pieces, collars can come in many different shapes and sizes. Some folks might want to feel the weight or the steel of the collar as a constant reminder of the power exchange they’re engaging in.

For others, their collar might be a way for them to feel connected and cared for by their partner. And then there’s also locking collars which add an extra layer of ritual. Someone is handling the key and for many queer people it is as serious as a proposal. Collars are a commitment to a dynamic, a power structure, or simply to one another.
