Top 6 Pride 2019 Fashion Picks
Planning for the UK’s biggest Pride festival is well under way. We have the Brighton Pride Festival coming up in August which is a joyous commemoration of the brave trailblazers, campaigners and supporters who shaped the Pride movement in the city and helped us achieve the LGBTQ equality we all enjoy today. But first up we have Pride in London with a massive 34 events (across June and July) to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues and campaign for the freedoms that will allow them to live their lives on a genuinely equal footing. All this exposure has, of course, attracted fashion brands to bring out their own ‘Pride’ clothing releases which are perfect to wear at one of these forthcoming events. Here we round up our top 6 picks:
