Gender-inclusive brands are transforming our wardrobes and making it easier to embrace genuine self-expression. In recent years, we've witnessed a rise in labels that challenge traditional gender norms in fashion—many abandoning the old boundaries of womenswear and menswear for more inclusive options that encourage free-spirited style. Notable names like Telfar, Big Bud Press, and Wildfang are at the forefront of this movement, advocating for fashion that knows no limits.
To help you discover your next go-to store, we’ve put together a guide to some of the top gender-inclusive fashion brands out there, highlighting what makes each one stand out. From affordable athleisure and high-quality activewear to highly sought-after accessories, formalwear for special occasions, and everything in between, there’s something for everyone.
Leading Gender-Inclusive Fashion Labels
1. Wildfang
Founded in 2012 from a Portland, Oregon studio apartment, former Nike employees Emma Mcilroy, Taralyn Thuot, and Julia Parsley created Wildfang, a gender-inclusive fashion label offering everything from everyday essentials to stylish, elevated designs. The brand holds a climate-neutral certification and is constantly working on becoming even more sustainable. Wildfang also gives back to its community, having already donated over $650k to organizations like ProjectQ, ACLU, and Planned Parenthood, and in 2023, the brand is joining the 1% Pledge to support community nonprofits.
Our Pick: If you're new to Wildfang, try The Essential Denim Coverall ($198; wildfang.com), a must-have piece that’s perfect for personalizing all year long.
2. Human Nation
Human Nation, co-founded by the dynamic duo Ciara and Russell Wilson, is part of their larger fashion company, House of LR&C.

Editor's Pick: Human Nation Legacy Quilted Coat in Organic Cotton ($168, thehouseoflrc.com). Pair it with a tan sweatsuit for a look that's both sophisticated and comfortable.
3. Telfar
Telfar Clemens launched his gender-neutral accessories brand in 2005, but it wasn't until 2014 that he introduced the iconic Shopping Bag, sparking a frenzy within the fashion world. The bag quickly became one of the most coveted items, with celebrities like Lil Nas X, Gabrielle Union, and Beyoncé among its fans. However, Telfar's vision extends beyond totes—his collection also includes an extensive range of genderless clothing and footwear, all representing the brand’s mantra, "Not for you—for everyone."
Our Pick: If you haven’t added a Telfar shopper to your collection yet, now's the time. They're often sold out, but if you're quick, you can snag the UGG x TELFAR Large Fleece Shopper ($275, telfar.net).
4. TomboyX
TomboyX was founded by Fran Dunaway and Naomi Gonzalez, a gender- and size-inclusive underwear and apparel brand with options for all. Launched in 2013, the brand was created to fill a gap in the market for comfortable boxer briefs for women. Their mission: to design styles that, as stated on their website, "anybody could feel comfortable in, regardless of where they fell on the size or gender spectrum." Since its debut, TomboyX has expanded into activewear, swimwear, and period-proof garments.
Our Pick: Available in a variety of colors and prints, the double-layered TomboyX Essentials Sports Bra ($32, tomboyx.com) and ultra-soft TomboyX Boy Shorts ($20, tomboyx.com) make a perfect match for anyone who loves a coordinated look.

Based in Los Angeles, Big Bud Press is rapidly climbing to the forefront of the gender-inclusive fashion scene, known for its retro-inspired designs and vibrant colors meant to stand out in photos. Founders Lacey Micallef and Philip Seastrom created the brand with a focus on ethically sourced fabric and locally made garments, offering inclusive sizing (XXS-6XL) for all body types. Their website showcases a diverse range of models and provides transparent details about each product.

Our Pick: Official Rebrand’s Censored Sight Painted Blazer ($310, officialrebrand.shop) is a must-have piece for anyone looking to add something bold and unique to their wardrobe.
9. Kirrin Finch
Kirrin Finch was founded by Laura Moffat and Kelly Sanders Moffat after they struggled to find clothing that matched their personal style. Drawn to men's button-up shirts and bow ties, they often had to abandon the search as those garments never fit their bodies. In 2015, recognizing a gap in the market, they launched Kirrin Finch, inspired by iconic tomboy characters like "Georgina Kirrin" from *The Famous Five* and "Scout Finch" from *To Kill A Mockingbird*. Today, Kirrin Finch is known for menswear-inspired apparel tailored to fit a range of female and non-binary bodies.
Our Pick: The Kirrin Finch Lavender Classic Dress Shirt ($150, kirrinfinch.com) is a best-seller, praised for its tailored cut and thoughtful design features such as a structured collar, extra-long length for tucking, and a nine-button front that prevents chest gaping.
10. One DNA
Launched in 2016 by Simon Black and Travis, One DNA quickly became known for its genderless clothing and accessories. The brand’s empowering graphic designs can now be found in Nordstrom, PacSun, and directly from their website. Known for small-batch production and the use of organic and recycled fabrics, One DNA offers a stylish range of everyday essentials, from chunky cable knits to pleated button-ups.
Our Pick: The One DNA Sierra Parachute Pants ($86, official brand.shop) are perfect for spring. Available in multiple colors such as white, blue, and khaki green, they are crafted from 100% cotton and feature four pockets and a drawstring waist for added comfort.
