In a perfect world, masculine clothing for a variety of body types would be mainstream. But this is not a perfect world, so we scrounged up nine small companies that are making androgynous fashion that's (relatively) affordable.
Androgyny is based in California, and makes solely button-up shirts that are not too form-fitting and don't have darting as women's shirts often do, but are also not too baggy or long, as men's shirts often are. Of course, the shirts are $125 each, minimum. Sigh.
Anchors Away Shirt: $150
Royal Coral Shirt: $125
Crisp White Magenta Shirt: $125
Marimacho is a Brooklyn-based creation of an adorable couple who saw a need for masculine clothes that would fit diverse bodies. The best part is the brand's swimsuits -- masculine suits that still cover up the person's chest.
The Fly Boi Bomber: $235, The Classic Check Shirt: $95
The Poet by Night Bow Tie: $60
Super Boi Swim Brief: $55, Coney Island Swim Top: Sold Out
HauteButch is based in California, and is a clothing brand "by a butch woman for butch women." The company sells heavily lesbian-centric clothing, which is sometimes cute and usually super expensive.
Alpha Sport Shirt: $85
White Button-Up with Paisley Accented Collar & Flip Cuff: $119
The Greyson Lace-Up Canvas Derby: $65
Fourteen sells only formal wear for lesbians, queer people, and trans people. Again, it's ridiculously expensive, but Fourteen has a tuxedo vest with sparkles on it!
Three-button Sateen Jacket: $294, Fourteen-button Sateen Vest: $140, Straight-leg Sateen Dress Pants: $94, White Cotton Tuxedo Shirt with Classic Collar: $114
Four-button Vest with Sequined Inner Vest: $194
Tuxedo-cut Wool Jacket: $424, Tapered Wool Tux Pants: $254
Wildfang is based in Portland. It bills itself as clothing for tomboys, appropriating menswear-inspired pieces. Casey Legler and Kate Moenning, lesbian dreamboats, have both modeled for the line.
Stripe The Right Note Chino: $158
Print Paradise Henley: $58, The Susi: $72, Hazzard-ous Jean Shorts: $72
Patched Right Up Cardigan: $98
St. Harridan is an Oakland-based brand created by Mary Going after she could not find anything to wear to her wedding. The company mostly sells one suit -- tailored to fit women's bodies perfectly.
Lyon Suit Jacket: $525, Parker Dress Shirt: $125
Lyon Suit Trouser: $210, Lyon Suit Jacket: $485
Lyon Suit Trouser: $225
Veer NYC makes "women's androgynous fashion." The clothes are dark and mysterious, and by the looks of it, there are some great pieces. The brand doesn't launch until Sept. 5, though, so get excited!
VEEA was created by Vee and A, siblings who saw a personal and global need for androgynous runway fashions for women. VEEA's website says that the collection is "coming soon," so keep your eyes peeled.
