The fashion industry writ large reinforces gender norms in many ways, but there’s one every one of us encounters daily: gendered sizing and styling. A faceless entity decides what a man or woman should look like, and if you don’t fit either mold or identify with either label, that’s your problem . Thankfully, there's a growing segment that offers tools to opt out of that binary.
Gender-neutral and gender-inclusive clothing brands offer a wider range of fits and styles than you might find at a traditional company. These companies make clothes for queer, nonbinary, and trans bodies of all shapes and sizes. I've tested and worn dozens of these and whittled down my favorites below.
Every garment in this list links to its manufacturer and also some other retailers that carry these garments. On some third-party retailer websites, the items we've highlighted are placed in gendered clothing sections, which is disappointing considering it's 2024 and these items are explicitly gender-neutral. I'm just giving you a heads-up so you're not surprised to see the gender-neutral underwear I recommended get categorized as “for women” at Amazon.
