We would say out of the two brands, Addicted has a more playful style and ES Collection a more simplistic and clean style. Like Addicted, this brand is specifically aimed at the gay male consumer and we love their stuff. We really like the fit on their denim shorts and high quality of their products.ĮS Collection, a sister brand to Addicted offers everything in terms of gay clothing from sportswear, jeans, shorts, t shirts, vests/tanks, underwear and swimwear. This gay clothing brand also offers a wide range of sportswear, jeans, shorts, t shirts and vests/tanks. We highly recommend you also check out their leather range, these pieces are seriously hot.Īddicted definitely ticks the underwear and swimwear box but has so much more.
An extensive range of swim and underwear and also a full range of tops, bottoms and even a silk series. They have a huge range of fitness wear including yoga, boxing, gym wear, tights, shorts etc. With everything made and printed in Italy from the finest quality materials Charlie by Matthew Zink is a high-quality brand with exceptional quality and fit. They state on their website ‘Our brand redefines the concept of male sensuality by enhancing the masculine body with comfortable designs that allows men to be their true selves.’
Most recently we saw the brand featured on one of our favourite gay tv shows, Elite! They offer everything from track pants, crop tops, sweatshirts, jackets, underwear and harnesses. The brand based in the gay mecca of Madrid (where we used to live) and focuses on clean cuts, transparencies, sporty fabrics and unique details. We love Spanish brands and Ruben Galarreta is a perfect example of some hot gay clothes. See their online store here and get stocked up on some ‘gay clothes’. It is entirely designed and manufactured in Southern California. They offer very sleek pieces from underwear through to sweaters, a denim range, shirts, sportwear (In Motion) and a Ruf-erized line which is rubberised sportwear.Īs described on their website, Rufskin was created to enhance the individuality of the male form, while at the same time, it has redefined the concept of what sexy can look like.Įssentially directed toward men, the concept of the brand focuses on the California Lifestyle. Rufskin is seriously stylish and a little bit naughty. We have a few pieces from Orttu which we wore on our most recent gay cruise and had many compliments! They focus on a love of beauty, a belief in self-expression, and a love of the sensual, the spiritual, and the playfully sexual. They wanted to create a style for men who are in touch with their individuality, strength, and inner beauty. Orttu is one of our new favorite gay clothing brands because of the message behind the brand.
Gay Clothing Brands and Gay Apparel Orttu We have a separate post covering our favourite gay underwear and swimwear brands, this post focuses on gay clothing brands that offer clothes to wear out day to day or for your next big event. Unsurprisingly, many brands aimed at gay guys focus on typical ‘gay wear’ i.e underwear, swimwear and more risqué items. That being said, we love the following gay clothing brands based on the fact that their style, marketing and branding resonates strongly with us as gay guys in ways that most high street or mainstream brands don’t. We stand strong by our opinion that anyone should be able to wear whatever they want no matter who they are! 1.When we talk about gay clothing brands, we mean those that are typically but by no means exclusively targeting the gay male market. We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

In the end, I'd prefer to celebrate Pride by putting my money directly into the hands of business owners who not only design for our community, but are a part of it, and whose creative allyship is not limited to the month of June. Sometimes, though, it can feel like brands' Pride campaigns are strictly performative, and are out to do, well, what all ad campaigns are meant to do: make money. When it comes to Pride Month, I'm always curious to see which non-queer-owned brands are willing show up for us - and every year, that list gets longer. And thankfully, there are tons of businesses popping up - many of them internet-based - that offer clothes made by us, for us, whether that's lingerie fitted for transgender bodies or clothes cut to fit butch cisgender women. And while it's heartening to see so much support for the LGBTQ+ community, at the same time, I know some of those companies are taking space from lesser-known, queer-owned clothing brands.įor many LGBTQ+ folks, the clothing we wear can be a vital part of our identity expression. Every Pride Month, my inbox fills with Pride themed products from every big-name brand.
