What to Wear for Pride in New York

What to Wear for Pride in New York

Pride is FINALLY here! As you fill up your calendar with parties, parades, protests (and hopefully a date or two), we’ve got style inspiration for every mode of self-expression and LGBTQIA+ style.

MESH

If you dare to bare, go for a mesh moment. That tantalizing glimpse of skin exudes an air of allure and hints at all your natural hotness. Pair a sheer mesh top with high-waisted shorts, slip into a mesh maxi dress with not much underneath or go for these mesh (and rhinestone!!!) shorts with a cute cropped top. 


LEATHER

It’s not Pride until you’re in the hot sun (or a packed dance floor) sweating profusely in a daring leather look. A pair of perfectly-shined leather boots, a studded leather harness, and a leather vest can serve as a nod to the rich history of LGBTQIA+ activism and subculture. If your personal style calls for color, look for more than usual classic black leather and go for the vibrant vintage tones of pink, purple, and even red leather pieces from the 80’s and 90’s.


DENIM


Denim is another classic that throws back to vintage vibes but can be easily freshened up with a modern take. This versatile fabric ranges from dark wash to light wash, skin-tight to loose and casual. If your Pride look is on the skimpy side, grab a denim jacket for those cooler temps (or to have on hand to loan to a cutie who’s caught your eye). 

Wishing you all a celebratory Pride season full of self-love, self-expression, and all the beautiful, bold style that makes our community so vibrant.
