Where To Shop for Rainbow Fashion: 30+ Pride Apparel and Accessories
A reader asked me where to shop for rainbow fashion after being inspired by my rainbow-striped Breton shirt. If you're desiring a wardrobe to show your Pride or because you love rainbows and color, I gathered together some of the best rainbow fashion for you. Most of this Pride apparel also supports LGBTQ+ causes.
When searching for the best places where to shop for rainbow fashion, I found that some of these items below give back to LGBTQ+ organizations; when they do I will state that and what organization they are supporting with your purchase. Many of the retailers featured below are LGBTQIA+ owned; I too will share that information when applicable.
This post was originally published in 2021 but updated for 2023 with rainbow and Pride items that are currently in stock. It was surprising how many companies had Pride-specific lines donating to LGBTQ+ organizations in 2021 and this year they don't have one. Therefore, this year I made an even more concerted effort to feature primarily products that support the LGBTQ+ community while also looking great!

Pride Month is June and many retailers offer rainbow and Pride-related merchandise at that time. Do you have any suggestions on where to shop for rainbow fashion and Pride accessories, especially from companies that support the LGBTQ+ community?

Thanks so much for this post!!!
I have no mixed feelings about Target’s bowing to the pressure of right wing concerns. In my book, if people come into your store and destroy merchandise and threaten your staff,you should call the police, as surely would have happened had these people been people of color. You kick them out of your store and or call the police, you don’t give into their threats. What Target did
was, there’s no other word for it, wrong. So disappointing.
Thanks for this! My gay heart appreciates it. I’m feeling a lot of complex feelings about Target’s Pride line right now… but it is great to see such a variety of options with price points and sizes!
MegEmiko is a queer person who sells icon graphic tees and sweatshirts. Often a significant proportion of the sales go to charity: https://megemikoart.com/
Thank you so much for this recommendation! I too have mixed feelings about Target’s Pride collection and how they have handled things. I know it’s accessible to many for access, size, and price and I am disgusted by those suddenly boycotting a company that has been supporting GLESEN for over a decade so I kept them in the collage. But yeah… :/
TomboyX is great. I have several items from them – all great quality! My understanding is that it is women and/or queer owned.
Also, Lane Bryant usually releases a collection for Pride Month (June). That’s where I’ve found pride-message t-shirts to fit my 3X/4X body. I can’t remember if there was an associated donation.
Oh my gosh, thank you Alison for doing this so fast, and thanks to everyone for your other suggestions!
Have to give a little shout out to my local sock store ModSocks that offers many brands, including their own designs under the Modsocks label. My fave is their rainbow/pride/ugly christmas sweater sock “Gay Apparel” It’s got unicorns, rainbows and Christmas Trees! But the puking rainbows socks are pretty good, too! They also carry rainbow masks from a few different sources. http://www.modsocks.com
(Not affiliated with them other than they are my go-to gift buying place – and what local small biz doesn’t deserve a little love?)
I got this t-shirt for the whole family for Christmas:

The ACLU has a lot of other great items in their shop.
Hi Alison – While it’s not fashion, both William Sonoma and Pottery Barn have Gifts That Give Back. Their mugs, towels and candles give back to Trevor Project. There was a rainbow doormat at Pottery Barn but it looks like that sold out. Also – a small business in Seattle called GlassyBaby does hand blown glass candles and gives back. Their latest candle came out today called living color and looks like a rainbow. They give to numerous charities. They are so beautiful. Check out their work if you get a chance. I personally love their drinkers – because who doesn’t want to drink out of a bright colored glass?
Love this post! Thank you for it.
I hope that they restock the St. James Breton in my size! I have the tank version of this tee, which is from a black and queer-owned business: https://www.atribecalledqueer.com/product-page/love-for-all-t-shirt. Human Rights Campaign also has a lot of good tees: https://shop.hrc.org.
I love that shirt, thank you for sharing!
