Show your allyship and celebrate diversity with these simple ways to support the queer community through fashion.
1. Shop Queer-Owned Brands
Supporting queer-owned brands helps uplift LGBTQ+ voices in the fashion industry. Brands like Wildfang, Telfar, or Hardwearables offer inclusive, minimalist streetwear designed for the community.
2. Use Your Style to Express Allyship
Choose clothing or accessories that show allyship, such as items with pride flag colors, pins, or T-shirts with inclusive (and funny) messages. Wearing these items spreads a message of acceptance.
3. Educate Yourself on Queer Fashion Icons
Learn about LGBTQ+ figures in fashion, like Nicole Zïzi, Karl Lagerfeld, or Jonathan Anderson, to understand the rich history and contributions of the queer community. Knowing and sharing their stories helps raise awareness and builds respect for their influences in fashion.
4. Attend LGBTQ+ Fashion Events
Participating in or attending queer-friendly fashion shows, pop-ups, or Pride events allows you to show support. These events celebrate queer expression and provide a platform for LGBTQ+ designers and artists.
5. Promote Inclusivity and Representation
Encourage inclusivity by supporting brands that represent diverse identities. Look for brands that use inclusive sizing, diverse models, and focus on body positivity to ensure the queer community feels seen and valued.
