If you too, like us, have been noticing the sudden burst of VIBGYOR on your Insta feeds and pride parade mentions on your Twitter timeline then here’s why! Commemorating the Stonewall riots of 1969, June is celebrated as the pride month by the LGBTQ+ community world over. And there’s no better moment than now to embrace the prismatic outfit you’ve been eyeing, after all the rainbow stands as the strongest symbol of this loud and proud clique that only keeps flourishing with each passing day. (Fun fact: The rainbow flag was popularized in 1978 by Gilbert Baker to signify the diversity associated with the gay community) Whether it’s the Queer Eye’s astronomical upsurge to fame, Billy Porter’s iconic tuxedo gown moment at the Oscars or Camp: Notes On Fashion being declared as the theme of the MET Gala, we can all agree that this has been a monumental year for the community, sartorially and otherwise. To celebrate this moment and this month in our own way, we’ve put together the top rainbow-hued pieces from the website that will have you second-guessing your monotone staples. From subtle hints to painterly strokes, there are more ways than one to let the rainbow reign over your wardrobe – you may wear it on your wrist, carry it in your hand, sport it on your feet or have the blues, indigos, yellows, reds, oranges and violets splashed all over your separates in full display – the only rule is, there is no rule!
