What To Wear To Pride 2025

One of the best things about Pride is how it encourages attendees to express themselves freely through fashion. This is the place to celebrate identities, sexualities and everything in-between – and it’s a space where you can show off your style, creativity and allyship. Pride is an event dedicated diversity and inclusion, so as long as you’re proud and happy in your outfit, you’re good to go.

But if you still need a little help planning your outfit this year, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite ideas (both classics and trends) to try:


Rainbow Hues

The undisputed uniform of the queer community, the humble rainbow is perhaps the most common go-to for Pride celebrations. Don your rainbows in sequins, stripes or feather – or simply wrap a Pride flag around your shoulders so that it drapes behind you.

Tip: You’ll mostly see rainbows containing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple in a nod to the original Pride flag. If you’d prefer to reference a more specific group, such as lesbian, trans or bisexual, you can simply tweak the colour palette of your rainbow to reflect your flag.

Genderless Style

Pride is all about celebrating the identity you connect with, across all genders. As such, you might want to wear clothing that better reflects your gender identity or challenges traditional gender norms – think skirts and dresses for people of all genders or outfits that incorporate gender-affirming colours and symbols. These gender neutral fashion brands are a good place to start if you find yourself a little stuck for choice – and these creators offer plenty of style inspiration for Pride.

Queer Icons

You can also dress up in costume for Pride, if you fancy getting creative. This is a chance to celebrate the historical, living and fictional icons who have shaped the community. (And it also gives the event some playful, dramatic flair.)
