Ralph Lauren, Diesel, and Ikea have released a range of products so you can wear your Pride in style this summer. From rainbow accented T-shirts and totes to baseball caps and more, there’s something for everyone. Plus, all or a portion of the proceeds from the sales of these items will be donated to LGBTQ+ causes. Therefore, treat yourself to something new without feeling guilty!
Back in the day, Pride gear was mainly produced by gay clothing companies. The options were usually limited and not necessarily appealing or stylish. We remember graphic T-shirts emblazoned with 2QT2BSTR8 or Nobody Knows I’m Gay being all the rage. Sadly, that was the extent of Pride-related fashion in the ’80s and ’90s, and it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then and it’s refreshing to see rainbows tastefully adorn items we’d actually wear.
Check out the products below and discover which ones we think are perfect for wearing your pride!
Ralph Lauren Polo, but in Pride Rainbow
The iconic Polo Pony get’s kissed by a rainbow in Ralph Lauren’s gender-neutral Pride collection. It’s available in adult and youth sizes and consists of a T-shirt, a hoodie, a polo shirt, a baseball cap and a tote. Additionally, a percentage of each item’s sale will be donated to the Stonewall Community Foundation. We love all of the pieces and would wear any of them with pride. Shop the #RLPride collection.
Diesel Gets Understated with the Pride Rainbow
Diesel is one of the top brands for cool Italian ready-to-wear garments and their exclusive Pride offering doesn’t disappoint. You’ll find T-shirts, tank tops, underwear and more in the twenty piece collection. The D-I-E-S-E-L letters take on the colours of the rainbow and the word PRIDE is incorporated into the branding throughout. With this in mind, wearing your pride in an understated but chic way has never been easier.
Diesel will make a donation to the Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, a non-profit organization that promotes LGTBQ+ tolerance and equality worldwide. We suggest the tank tops, T-shirts, shorts and baseball cap from this collection as you’ll get the most wear out of them. Also, you can easily pair these items with other pieces already in your wardrobe. Shop the full Diesel Pride collection.
Shop in Rainbow with Ikea
Ever since Balenciaga released a version of the Ikea FRAKTA shopping bag, the lower priced Swedish version has been having a moment. Moreover, it looks like that moment continues on into Pride month. The infamous carry-all gets a rainbow treatment and a new name, the KVANTING. Boasting a 19-gallon capacity and the ability to carry up to 55 pounds without ripping, this is the only bag you will need to carry EVERYTHING this summer. All proceeds from the sale of this bag will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation which supports LGBTQ+ children, youth and families. We love a good statement bag and this one definitely tells everyone you are here, and they better get used to it! Shop the KVANTING bag.
