The Queer Formalwear Edit

Make your wardrobe queer.

Let's be honest.

Most advice on what to wear to formal events expects you to: 

  • pick masc or femme
  • fit in quietly
  • shrink yourself

And if you've been trying to find an androgynous wedding guest outfit or nonbinary graduation attire, you've definitely felt this.

Everything technically works, but nothing actually feels right. 

Some things feel too traditional, others feel pushed way too far, and some just feel… burdensome to wear.

That low-level friction of being dressed correctly but not accurately--that's the problem.

 

This is where things change.

 

What This Is

 

This is a Filter
A way to stop spiraling through options that were never built with you in mind and start from a place that actually reflects you.

This is a curated, continuously updated lookbook of 2,100+ pieces for building a queer wardrobe that:*

  • doesn't rely on a binary
  • doesn't feel forced
  • doesn't fall apart after one wear
  • is made for real bodies (not just size 00s)
  • is meant to be used beyond one event
  • doesn't pay people pennies on the dollar for their work

*Sustainable, ethical, fast fashion, inclusive, and gender expansive are all interpretable and ideas that do not exist with black and white meanings. Everything included in this resource was researched to the best of my ability with available information, which is not always presented to the public. If there is serious concern about the ethics of a brand included in this resource, know that it is not intentional and please bring it to my attention immediately.

 

What You Get

You're not just getting options. You're getting direction, clarity, relief, and time back.

But, most importantly, you finally get to show up without something quietly dragging you down all night long.

What's in it for you

Inside the Guide

  • 2,100+ wardrobe pieces across 80+ brands, sizes (about 40% of the lookbook represents sizing available up to 3X), and styles.
  • Designers and brands you likely haven't heard of but will actually come back to
  • Nontraditional silhouettes and accessories that still work with dress codes and will become staples of your formal dress
  • Options that can be worn again (and again)
  • Oh, by the way, there's a vintage brooch bar involved

This is What it Replaces

  • Endless scrolling
  • Limitless google searches that result in ads and fast fashion no matter what you try
  • Buying something you wear once
  • Trying to recreate outfits that don't translate
  • Settling for something that feels less than acceptable

This is what it makes easier

  • Getting dressed
  • Going to the event

If you've been here, this is for you

if you've ever thought:

  • “I don't want a dress, but I don't want a suit either”
  • “I look fine but it doesn't feel like me”
  • “I've been looking for hours and still haven't found anything”

I made this for you.
