Because fashion should be as expressive as it is inclusive.

Fashion is an avenue of self-expression, but for those whose style identities fall outside the traditional binary, not quite fitting into what society deems "masculine" or "feminine," opportunities to accurately express oneself through clothing can be more limited. Despite the societal push towards gender-fluid acceptance, most of the brands you see hanging in stores today are still categorizing their merchandise by two heteronormative genders: male and female. It forces non-binary individuals, or those who simply choose not to conform, to either pick a side or get creative.

We understand sifting through racks of clothing that don't speak to who you are can be disheartening. So we scoured the Internet to find the best genderless fashion lines. These 16 brands cater the more inclusive shopping experience you deserve.

JACQ NY

JACQ makes a bold statement on its About page that the brand is on a mission to “dismantle” the restrictions that gender norms place on our society. And based on its offerings, it appears the label is making good on its promise. The mastermind behind its designs, Jackie Yang, strives to create clothes for the brand’s customers, not a specific gender. JACQ’s fluid fashions range from jumpsuits to pullovers, blazers, trousers, tees, and everything in between.

Eckhaus Latta

Sure, Eckhaus Latta has attracted fashion aficionados and artists alike for its intriguing, performative presentations. But while the crowds may have come for the show, but they stuck around for the clothes. In an interview with Elle, designer Zoe Latta explained that she and her husband Mike “don't really work with inspiration,” nor do they “believe in trends, either.” Rather, their clothes are liberated unisex pieces created through experimentation with different textures, details, and colors. Also worth noting: Their résumé is stacked; fans of the brand can shop everything from ready-to-wear to outerwear and accessories.

SarahBijoux

Under the umbrella of gender-neutral fashion, there are gender-neutral accessories brands. One to note is SarahBijoux, a Montreal-based label founded by jeweler Sarah Simard in 2018. Simard’s designs are handmade, minimalist, and sustainable. They’re made simply but with a rich philosophy: to offer shoppers pieces that are as ethical as they are accessible and timeless. One of the brand’s most popular collections is its wardrobe of pearl-centric designs that includes everything from studs to bracelets to signet rings.

Senna Case

Senna Case is a special mention, because the brand isn’t solely for adults; it’s kid-friendly, first and foremost. The label’s inventory consists of matching pieces for the whole family, including sweats and sweatpants in vivid colors. Everything is also made in cozy, sustainable materials, and collections come in drops, so sign up for their email alerts to stay in the know.

Bode

Here’s the breakdown on Bode: The brand was founded by Emily Adams Bode and was originally a menswear label. Now, there’s a section on the site categorized “womenswear” and a promise that the vertical is “coming soon.” But similar to I and Me below, these seemingly gendered sections are for sizing purposes more than anything else. As evidenced by the label's street style and celeb fans, the clothing is meant to be unisex, marrying masculinity and femininity. 

Big Bud

Big Bud is an L.A.-based brand putting an emphasis on inclusivity in every sense of the word. The clothes are not only gender-fluid, but they’re also size-inclusive and are categorized by length (petite, regular, long) as well as size (XXS to 6XL). The brand’s bread and butter is everyday wear, and its offerings include everything you could want and need in your collection, from tops (including baby tees, turtlenecks, and polos) to bottoms (in an array of cuts and styles), jumpsuits, and accessories.

Ijji

Ijji isn’t just another minimalist unisex brand from L.A. The label’s offerings are comfortable and casual, but they have that secret sauce that makes them exude that effortlessly cool vibe. The clothes are also timeless, staples you’ll reach for again and again, and constructed with natural fibers. Sizes range from XXS to XXL and pieces are loose-fitting, so you can feel as good as you look in them.

TomboyX

Though TomboyX does sell apparel, swim, and activewear, and actually began with a Kickstarter and the idyllic button-up shirt, we’d argue the brand is best known for its genderless undergarments. It was founded by Fran Dunaway and their wife Naomi Gonzalez back in 2013, and according to the brand’s story on its official website, the purpose of TomboyX was to fill a void they saw in the market for underwear that fit everyone, and that fit everyone well. So, they created their own, with sizes across their offerings ranging from an impressive XS to 4X.

Lonely Kids Club

With the ‘90s/early 2000s fashion on the rise (again), we would be doing you a disservice if we didn’t mention Lonely Kids Club, a.k.a. the online hub of gender-neutral graphic styles. From tees to bottoms, accessories, and even a few dresses, LKC has the most epically illustrated pieces designed for everyone, no matter what message they want to get across via their clothing. There are spooky picks and garments riddled with cartoon sloths, Seinfeld-inspired merch, rude and retro designs, and so much more to choose from. 

I and Me

Sustainability knows no gender, and neither does I and Me, an East London-based gender-neutral denim and lifestyle brand that delivers fashionably functional pieces to the androgynous community. The fabrics used in each I and Me collection are meticulously sourced from mills and manufacturers with eco-friendly values and rich heritages; you can find their stories here. For this brand, fabric and style is its driving force, not the gender division of clothing. That being said, you will notice separate sections for women and men on the website, but from what this writer can tell, the categorization is for sizing purposes only.

Telfar

Telfar's motto is, "It's not for you — it's for everyone," which is an important message. Fashion is for everyone, and Liberian-American fashion designer Telfar Clemens wants that to be heard loud and clear across the industry. His collections of ready-to-wear apparel, gorgeous handbags, and accessories are not organized by gender and are more about embracing the designer's signature, instantly recognizable style. Every piece is for everyone, no matter how they identify.

RICH MNISI

RICH MNISI styles are another great option for androgynous shoppers craving color. The namesake South Africa-based brand is rooted in Mnisi's culture, art, and unique storytelling. The pieces are definitely splurge items, but in this instance, you're definitely getting what you pay for: wearable art.

Zero Waste Daniel

Zero Waste Daniel is a genderless fashion line that not only serves up unique styles, but styles that are created from unique materials. This is because fashion designer Daniel Silverstein is also a zero-waste lifestyle pioneer who collects consumer waste sourced from New York City's garment industry and other hard-to-recycle materials that would normally clog up landfills, and reuses them to manufacture attention-grabbing, gender-neutral clothing.

Wildfang

Gender fluidity is the driving force behind Wildfang. Its offerings include double-breasted blazers (with actual pockets, because a love of pockets is universal), overalls, coveralls, smart vests, graphic tees, and more, but you won't just fall in love with the brand's style. Its philanthropic work makes shopping the brand that much more satisfying, as Wildfang has given back over $500K to causes and organizations like Q Center (aka the largest LGBTQ+ community center in the Pacific Northwest) and the Tegan & Sara Foundation (an organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ women and girls) since its initial launch in 2012.

Human Nation

Human Nation is the brainchild of Russell Wilson, Ciara, and Christine Day, and lives under The House of LR&C. In addition to racial and size inclusivity, Human Nation also puts an emphasis on androgynous offerings, like T-shirts and hoodies, shorts and joggers, to make sure it caters to every and all customers. Plus, with every purchase, The House of LR&C donates 3% of proceeds to Why Not You, a nonprofit organization, also founded by Wilson and Ciara, that supports children in their formative years, helping them to fight poverty, get a good education, and stay healthy.

Pangaia

Just because the country is slowly but surely coming out of quarantine and getting back to (somewhat) normal, doesn't mean you have to give up your cozy tracksuits. For unisex loungewear options, look no further than beloved Pangaia, a materials science company that plants, protects, or restores one tree for every purchase made. And if you think its environmental good-doings are awesome, you'll love browsing the e-comm sites colorful genderless sweats and tees, because anyone and everyone can enjoy them.
