Let’s take a trip down the rainbow-paved memory lane, shall we?įrom Freddie Mercury and his jaw-dropping stage ensembles to Laverne Cox and her ethereal red carpet looks, there’s certainly no shortage of incredible fashion from queer icons. Considering many of their looks are part of history, often worn in updated ways even decades later, it only makes sense to carve out a part of our everyday lives to pay a bit of homage to how far we’ve come. Although celebrations for queer fashion trailblazers are often reserved for Pride, we should celebrate these style icons every single day. The progress we have made in embracing personal style regardless of identity has definitely been thanks to gay and queer fashion icons who have pushed-and continue to push- the boundaries. The decline of societal gender norms when it comes to fashion has been a long time coming-and we’re still not all the way there.
