It took me a pandemic to realize how often I borrowed my boyfriend's clothes. At the moment, we both dress practically like Larry David, so sweaters and sweatpants with a crew neck are in high rotation. I've put on a sweatshirt one too often only to find after putting it on that it was about two sizes too big, and therefore my friend's. But of course, regardless of how you identify yourself, we pretty much all want the same things out of our clothes. Some may prioritize aesthetics over function and vice versa, but at the end of the day we all want to look and feel good.
The rigid gender lines that the fashion industry adhered to before are blurring, and thank God for that. I love the idea of going into a store (more realistic shopping online these days) and finding something not only for myself but also for the men identified in my life. It's no coincidence that some of my favorite brands lately are those that take a gendered approach and make their collections for everyone. Good style, after all is Universal. Read on to see how all brands do just that.
Entireworld makes the kind of clothes you want to live in – they are affordable, quietly chic, and most importantly, no-frills. And given the uncertain times we find ourselves in, all of these qualities are certainly useful. From oversized button-downs and t-shirts to woolen coats and socks, Entireworld has all the basics you need to build a solid wardrobe. In the seemingly eternal season of the tracksuit, I was tempted to buy their tracksuits in every color imaginable.
One of the more exciting newer faces on the scene is designer Emily Bode. Their namesake label uses vintage textiles to create unique jackets and shirts that you will want to keep forever. It's usually available in the men's department at retailers like Net-a-Porter and Matches, but my female friends have been with Bode for years and especially love the intricately embroidered short-sleeved button-downs. Bella Hadid is a huge fan too.
You can't escape the buzz of Telfar. Everyone knows their shopping bags, but behind the pandemonium of handbags there is also great fashion. Designer Telfar Clemens does not prescribe gender norms with his clothes – cut-out lederhosen and shoulder-free knitted tops offer space for everyone. If you're looking to buy a piece, the brand's recent collaboration with Converse is a new version that's well worth checking out.
If I could live in a brand for the rest of my life it would be Wales Bonner. The brand, which was founded in 2014 by designer Grace Wales Bonner, has a cool, mysterious look. You can count on impeccably cut blazers and pants, but also on unexpected costume jewelry. To my excitement, Wales Bonner has partnered with Adidas for a limited collaboration, offering a range of sporty yet nifty polo shirts, training pants and trainers. The best thing to do is to believe that everything has already been added to my shopping cart.
Many of this season's biggest trends have evolved from the traditional grandpa aesthetic – zip-up three-quarter sweaters, harrington jackets, and knit sweat vests to name a few – so it makes sense that gender-neutral breakups are what the People want. Newcomer Amiss Conception is all about conveying the classics to you. Think of polos, joggers and sweaters that are easy to combine and look timeless. Their styles are also available in a wide variety of colors. When you find a style you love, stock up on any color.
