Today on the blog, I’m sharing resources on plus size gender neutral bathing suits. Real talk – discussing about gender neutral fashion can be kind of weird, because, technically, anything can be gender neutral.
As people shopping, we ascribe gender to garments. But on their own (without society’s programming), any garment can be worn by anyone. Really.

One of my fave LGBT-owned brands is CHROMAT, a high end swimwear brand known for architectural pieces. Founder, Becca McHaren-Tran, was having inclusive runway shows before journalists started caring about inclusive fashion!

Be sure to use the filters on the website to sort by size, as it looks like a lot of the new Chromat swimsuits don’t go up to a 3X. :[
