LGBTQ+ Fashion Brands to Support This Pride Month
This pride month will be filled with celebrations, love, and unity. To show your support, you can shop these four amazing fashion brands that are LGBTQ+ owned. These brands are not only giving us amazing designs and creations, but are also helping to encourage diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry.
Phlemuns was founded in 2013 by James Flemons with a focus on unisex designs and accessibility. They also have a slow fashion approach to the industry to ensure all their designs are good for the planet and for the people that wear Phlemuns. If you’re looking for something to wear to pride month festivities, you should absolutely check out Phlemuns. Their funky, fun designs are serotonin boosters. Cutout tees and tanks, asymmetrical tops, cargo pants, and even cargo skirts are all waiting for you to check out from Phlemuns.
WILDFANG pushes past gender norms that are often outdated throughout the fashion industry. Starting in a tiny apartment in Portland, Oregon, WILDFANG has developed into a successful, sustainable, and charitable brand. They have given back over $650k to organizations like Planned Parenthood, ACLU, and RAICES. Their clothing is functional and fashionable. WILDFANG has blazers that make you look like a boss, trousers with pockets that hold more than your spare change, and coveralls that make getting dressed in the morning incredibly easy. Function over fashion is just not true for this brand.
Jannike Sommar is a queer fashion designer with her eponymous brand. Bold and bright is about the only way to describe her brand and her designs. Her signature bright colors, embroideries, and patchwork create her own unique aesthetic. She embraces pride in her collections which radiate positivity. Jannike Sommar is another great brand to support and shop for pride month, and you will definitely find an outfit for any festivities you have during the month of June.

His designs have been worn by Meghan Markle, Kamala Harris, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lizzo, and Zendaya–which just goes to show how influential the designer has become. His designs are a combination of a little bit of everything. Bright colors and unique silhouettes are his signature as he merges art and fashion.
