Fashion For Everyone: The Top 20 Genderless Fashion Brands
Gender Neutrality Is The New Norm In Fashion
Fashion has long been defined and restricted by arbitrary gender norms, with stores split into men's and women's sections. This separation, however, is quickly becoming obsolete among the young and rebellious who see gender as an idea. In a world where Harry Styles walks the red carpet in a skirt and Zendaya shows up at film premieres rocking a suit, gender in fashion can't help but feel old-school. Renowned designers like Telfar Clemens and Teddy Santis are forging a new path by creating apparel that can appeal to anyone, reminding us that cool clothes are cool clothes regardless of what gender you are. Here are the top 20 genderless fashion brands to support.
1. Wildfang
For fly gender-fluid blazers, button-ups, coveralls, graphic tees, and trousers, look no further than Wildfang. The company was started by a group of ex-corporate workers in Portland, Oregon, who didn't understand why so many garments were so poorly made and lacked pockets. A portion of the proceeds is donated to good causes.
