More Than Just a Suit: Why Queer-Affirming Tailoring Matters

When most people think of suit shopping, they picture something pretty standard: a rack of dark colours, a formal setting, and an experience that often centres cishet men. But for so many people in the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who identify as queer, trans, non-binary, intersex or lesbian, that version of "standard" simply doesn’t fit - in any sense of the word.

At Queer Suits You, we believe your suit should do more than just fit your body, it should affirm your identity.

So, what is a gender-neutral or androgynous suit?

A gender-neutral suit throws out the old rulebook. There are no “men’s” suits or “women’s” suits - just suits that reflect your vibe, your shape, and your story. Maybe that means a black tailored jacket rocking a satin lapel with double pleated trousers. Maybe it means a slim-cut trouser and a statement corset top. Maybe it’s something else entirely.

We specialise in androgynous suits that blend structure and softness, curve and edge, comfort and style, because we know that gender expression isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Why queer-affirming tailoring matters

Shopping for formalwear can be a deeply stressful experience for LGBTQ+ people. Too many traditional retailers don’t understand (or worse, don’t care about) the anxiety that comes with being misgendered in a fitting room, being offered silhouettes that don’t align with your identity, or being told that what you want “isn’t possible.”

We’re here to rewrite that experience - with lesbian suits, trans-inclusive tailoring, androgynous formalwear, and custom pieces for non-binary people that say: you belong here.

Every consultation starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. We ask what makes you feel good, what makes you feel seen, and how you want to show up in the world. Then, we make it happen.

This is your moment. You deserve to feel incredible.

Whether you're suiting up for your wedding, a big life moment, or just because you damn well feel like it - we’re here to help you feel confident, comfortable, and 100% yourself.

So if you’ve ever thought “suits aren’t for me,” we’re here to tell you: suits absolutely can be for you. We just need to design one that suits you.
