Welcome to Prideful, a month-long stretch where we celebrate our identities with pride and honor queer-owned brands, whether it’s fashion items that give us gender euphoria or our favorite queer-friendly sex toys.
Pride Month is a great time to buy from queer-owned businesses, especially queer fashion brands. No matter where you fall on the gender or sexuality spectrum, we’ve compiled the best queer-owned fashion brands that sell everything from clothing, intimates, and swimwear to accessories like bags and jewelry in a range of styles and vibes that’ll fit your taste. From compressive binder-alternative pieces to gender-neutral clothing lines and healing crystal necklaces, there’s something for everyone. We’ve even included lifestyle brands and retailers that offer a broader range of products in addition to fashion, including inclusive lingerie, queer-made beauty products, and homeware finds.
By shopping small and queer-owned brands, know that you’re supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and spreading awareness for more queer creators. Read on to learn more about the queer-owned fashion brands to shop this month and beyond for a stylish, well-rounded wardrobe.
