How Genderless Fashion Continues To Break Down Barriers
by Nicole Giquel - April 11, 2023 Fashion News
Gender norms in fashion have been thrown out the window – both on the runway and on the streets. The old constraints of gendered dressing have almost disappeared, making blazers, dresses, trousers, and skirts all fair game for anyone, regardless of their gender identity or how they choose to wear them. It is the way forward and it most certainly offers a more inclusive and fluid approach to style.
The most recent Paris Fashion Week showcased an impressive display of impeccably tailored clothing, with a heavy emphasis on androgynous suiting. The late Vivienne Westwood’s eponymous label – which was paid as homage to the designer, boasted many looks representing fluidity in fashion. The shows presented at Fashion Week made it clear that designers are breaking gender norms and exploring new ways of mixing things up.
One of the most notable developments in genderless fashion has been the arrival and increased popularity of unisex clothing lines. These lines feature clothing that is designed to fit a range of body types and can be worn by people of all genders. Unisex clothing is often characterized by minimalist designs and neutral colours, which broadens styling possibilities.
Another trend in genderless fashion is the use of gender-neutral pronouns in advertising and marketing campaigns. Many brands have started using gender-neutral language to promote their clothing, acknowledging that not everyone identifies as male or female. This small change in how we say things can make a big difference in how people feel about themselves and their place in the world.

One of the most exciting things about genderless fashion is that it encourages people to be their authentic selves. By breaking down the barriers that have long existed in the fashion industry, it offers a more welcoming space for everyone. Whether you identify as male, female, non-binary, or something else entirely, there is a place for you in the world of genderless fashion. It is also important to remember that this movement is about more than just clothing. It’s about challenging the rigid gender norms that have been imposed upon us for so long. It’s about embracing diversity and inclusivity and creating a world where everyone feels welcome, inspired and accepted.
So go and throw your girl-friend’s stilettos on, or steal your dad’s best suit! Dress in whichever way makes you feel more like the way you feel inside… because chances are, you’ll end up inspiring the next person!
