(NEW YORK) — Through the years, more and more brands have not only found ways to celebrate Pride Month, but to also give back in big, beautiful ways.
This year is no different, and retailers have continued to elevate their campaigns, release captivating capsule collections and, ultimately, find ways to pay it forward to the LGBTQ+ community.
Many beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands have banded together to create Pride-inspired products that not only help you look good but also feel good, as they support organizations that empower and uplift.
From Fabletics’ fresh new “United in Pride” line to exciting product launches such as Sally Hansen’s Insta Dri x GLAAD Nail Color Collection, there is truly something for everyone.
Ahead, check out 15 brands that are giving back this June and beyond:
Fabletics
Fabletics has launched an all-new “United in Pride” collection in partnership with GLAAD, which is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer advocacy organization. The capsule line features gender-neutral picks and has been designed with lots of vibrant colors and geometric prints.
Additionally, Fabletics is making a $25,000 donation to GLAAD in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
Bombas
Bombas is back this year with another awe-inspiring Pride collection that includes socks, slippers, tops and underwear.
