These Pride Month 2021 Fashion Collections Support LGBTQ+ Organizations: 24 Ways to Wear a Rainbow
These days you can wear rainbows with pride not only in June but all year long. But it wasn’t always this way. Pride has evolved from a one-day event to a month-long celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. According to The New York Times, the first Pride march took place on June 28, 1970. (Some historians also credit Chicago activists with organizing the first Pride march a day earlier on June 27, 1970.) The organizers wanted to mark the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a series of spontaneous protests that took place following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in June 1969.
Over the years, cities across the world began to hold Pride Parades, and in 1999 President Bill Clinton declared June to be Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. The Stonewall Riots were a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and Pride month has transformed into a global celebration of the LGBTQ+ community around the world.
In recent years, many major brands have also proudly shown their support for Pride month by making donations, sending representatives to march in parades and selling limited-edition products to raise money for nonprofits that support the LGBTQ+ community. The involvement of corporate brands in Pride month is a controversial development, to be sure, but it also proves just how far the gay civil rights movement has come. This year, we’ve already written about a number of fashion brands that have released Pride collections including Converse and Dr. Martens.
For anyone that wants to wear rainbow colors with pride this month, we’ve put together a roundup of fashion collections celebrating Pride 2021. We tried to select limited-edition items whose purchases fund a variety of worthy nonprofit organizations such as the Ali Forney Center, The Trevor Project and PFLAG. We’ve gathered up a literal rainbow of apparel, a rainbow fashion roundup if you will, that will not only help you show off your personal pride but will also help organizations as far away as Japan.
Levi’s 2021 Pride Collection
Levi’s has aligned itself with the LGBTQ+ community for over 30 years. This year’s collection, “All Pronouns All Love”, emphasizes how people want to be seen, heard and accepted as they are.

You can dress from head to toe in Levi’s Pride gear with everything from denim jackets to socks.
