The days are getting longer, and it’s once more the season to celebrate the iconic history of our community and relish in the ever-growing love and acceptance of the gay population in society. With each pride, we can mark the progress that the LGBTQ community has made, whilst showing defiance against those situations where equality still doesn’t exist.
And Mary, do we have the inside tee for you? If you are always authentically you in what you wear and what you do, every day is a pride march! But once a year (hopefully in a place near you), the concrete runway is yours to celebrate and demonstrate the strength of not only yourself, but the entire LGBTQ community – members and supporters. If you’ve never been to one of these events, it can be intimidating to know what to expect and how to dress.
Basic guide of what to wear to pride:
I think you’ll agree, that for any event you attend, you feel pressure to look the part and to slay the crowds. Whether you are there to celebrate, or you are there to protest, pride is vibrant and doesn’t come with a dress code – so for many, it feels like the heat is on to create an outfit worthy of the year’s biggest party. Since 1969, when the first pride marches took place, gay pride has celebrated and fought for the differences, quirks and unique qualities of each individual. This means that the only requirement for your outfit is that it is totally and spectacularly ‘you’ and helps embrace the spirit of celebration and protest. You are free to wear all of the costumes, pride shirts and dresses, rainbows, leathers, flowers, paints and glitters your heart desires.
