Genderless Swimwear

You deserve swimwear that fits your body and your identity.

It’s Nonbinary Awareness Week—which means it’s the perfect time to celebrate gender expression and make space for styles that don’t force anyone into a binary box.

And let’s be real: shopping for swimwear can be... complicated. For anyone! 

Let alone trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer folks how are dealing with shitty in-store experiences and the dysphoria of clothing not taking their bodies into account. A lot of options out there feel either too gendered, too skimpy, or just not built for most bodies in mind. 

So, I put together a shopping guide full of genderless, body-affirming swimwear—from surf shorts to unisuits to pieces you can actually move (and vibe) in. These are brands who are made by and for genderqueer folks with the hopes of making summer a place you’d like to be again.

Summer is for everyone. 🌊
