Time to say goodbye

Time to say goodbye

We launched Gender Free World in February 2016 and since then have produced over 72 different shirt patterns, 13 designs of boxers shorts, pyjamas, T-Shirts and socks to name a few of our products. We have made over 15 thousand customers happy, and for that we are immensely proud. However, it is with regret that we must announce a pause in operations.

How do you know if someone is queer?

How do you know if someone is queer?

By Beth Kennedy We’re here, we’re queer...but how can we signal this without saying anything? Queer signalling has been around for decades. In the 70s, LGBTQI+ signalled to one another using a handkerchief system. They would put hankies in their back pocket or their waistbands and each colour signalled a specific sexual preference and specific kinks. There were several variations of the hanky code, so if you’d like to find out more about this slice of LGBTQI+ history, take a look at this great article about flagging (TW: lots of very explicit sexual language). Flagging is not so common now,...

The Power of Clothing for Self Expression - A personal Journey

Guest blog by William Elisabeth Cuthbert Dressing for your gender identity can change everything about how you move through life. Confidence, posture, accepting compliments or opening up around others, can all shift towards how you are inside. But it can also reveal ways you’ve never imagined you could feel about yourself, as I found when I needed an outfit for two family weddings in 2021. Two ceremonies, one weekend, maximum pressure. At my sister-in-law’s, in the stately surroundings of Kenwick Park Hotel in the Lincolnshire Wolds, I hoped to make an impression as a member of the bridal party. What...

We've been producing our gender neutral collections for over 7 years now. Is the fashion world overall still embracing gender neutrality and why is gender free clothing still so important?

One area where this shift is particularly evident is in the world of fashion. Gender-neutral clothing, has become a powerful tool for self-expression by breaking down the barriers of gender stereotypes How does the rise of gender-neutral clothing, and specifically in the case...

How to spot a lesbian...or not!

How to spot a lesbian...or not!

Finding Clothes that suit your Style For great clothes for EVERY body - regardless of sexuality or gender, check out GFW Clothing.   In years gone by, the classic short back and sides was the ultimate way to identify a lesbian - because it was a way of expressing the individual which wasn’t conforming to feminine cultural norms.  But over several decades we’ve seen more diversity with regards to hair length on women, regardless of sexuality.

What do the colours of the Progress Pride Flag mean?

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our Pride Socks inspired by the internationally known pride flag! Lisa, our co-founder, explained: “We originally wanted to do the Progress Pride flag but, with 9 colours, the manufacturing equipment wasn’t up to it.” However unfortunate it may be that we couldn’t include all the colours, we thought we’d break down exactly what the Progress Pride flag colours represent and their importance. Where does the Progress Pride flag come from? In 2017, Philadelphia introduced a “More Colour, More Pride” flag as part of a campaign from the state’s Office of LGBT Affairs. They...
