Best of Androgynous Streetwear
● 16 brands · Brands by scene · Facts checked August 2026This page is for shoppers who want clothes that ignore the men's/women's split — unisex cuts, oversized tailoring, relaxed denim — from labels that actually design that way rather than relabelling menswear as "unisex". The quick verdict: Telfar, Eckhaus Latta and BARRAGÁN are the genuinely genderless core, Acne Studios and A.P.C. give you the wearable everyday version, and Rick Owens, Balenciaga and Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY are where it turns theatrical. Prices run from Plant Faced tees to four-figure Paris runway pieces, so pick your tier first.

Where each brand actually sits
The most literally genderless names here design one set of clothes for everyone. TELFAR has been unisex since 2005 and is best known for the vegan-leather Shopping Bag, sold in three sizes through timed Bag Security Program drops, alongside ready-to-wear and denim. Eckhaus Latta cuts deliberately unresolved, gender-neutral silhouettes in hand-manipulated knits and painted denim. BARRAGÁN reworks basics into irregular genderless shapes with mesh, jersey and low-rise cuts. Wildfang comes at it from the other side: menswear-inspired blazers, suit sets and oxfords drafted for women and nonbinary bodies, which is the easiest entry point if standard men's tailoring never fits you.
Price and how to build the look
Plant Faced (low-mid) is the cheapest way in — organic-cotton and recycled graphic tees, hoodies and caps. Mid and mid-high sit A.P.C., Aimé Leon Dore, Collina Strada, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY, BARRAGÁN, Wildfang, PANGAIA and TELFAR. High means Acne Studios, Eckhaus Latta, Bode and Wales Bonner. Jacquemus, Balenciaga and Rick Owens are the very-high tier. A practical build: neutral base layers from A.P.C. or PANGAIA, one oversized statement from Acne Studios or Rick Owens, and a bag — Telfar Shopping Bag, Acne's Musubi, A.P.C.'s Demi-Lune — to carry the outfit.
Fit and silhouette notes
Acne Studios is the reliable source for oversized tailoring, mohair knits and wide-leg denim; A.P.C. is the opposite, raw selvedge Petit Standard and New Standard jeans that stay narrow and break in over years. Rick Owens runs long and draped with heavy Geobasket and Ramones soles, with DRKSHDW covering the more affordable denim and jersey. Balenciaga's oversized tailoring and Triple S sneakers still read androgynous, though Pierpaolo Piccioli took over in July 2025 and is pushing the house toward couture volume and colour rather than Demna's irony. Bode and Wales Bonner are craft-led rather than strictly unisex — antique-textile appliqué shirts and diaspora-referencing tailoring respectively — but both cut loose enough to work across genders.
Ownership changes worth knowing
A.P.C. is now controlled by L Catterton (March 2023), with Jean Touitou still designing. PANGAIA is majority-owned by Abu Dhabi's Royal Group since January 2025 and repositioning beyond loungewear. Aimé Leon Dore took LVMH minority investment in 2022; Jacquemus sold roughly 10% to L'Oréal in 2025. All still run by their founders.
"Common questions
"
Which brands here are truly unisex, not just loose menswear?
TELFAR has designed as a unisex label since 2005, Eckhaus Latta builds gender-neutral silhouettes into every collection, and BARRAGÁN rebuilds basics into genderless shapes. Wildfang is the reverse approach — menswear-inspired suiting drafted for women and nonbinary customers.
What's the cheapest way to start?
Plant Faced is the lowest price tier on this list: vegan graphic tees, hoodies and caps, around 90% organic cotton or recycled fibre, sold direct online. PANGAIA's colour-blocked hoodies and tees are the next step up.
Is a Telfar bag worth it?
The vegan-leather Shopping Bag with embossed TC monogram comes in three sizes and sells through timed Bag Security Program drops, so availability, not price, is the hurdle. If you want the look for less, the roughly four-inch $78 Baby Bag Charm launched in July 2026.
Has anything changed at these brands recently?
Yes. Balenciaga is now led by Pierpaolo Piccioli, who replaced Demna in July 2025. A.P.C. came under L Catterton control in 2023, and PANGAIA was acquired by Royal Group's Aurora Vision in January 2025 with a new CEO and a first Milan presentation in February 2026.
Where can I buy these online?
Most sell direct — Telfar, Eckhaus Latta (plus LA and NY stores), Aimé Leon Dore, Wildfang and Plant Faced all run their own sites. Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and BARRAGÁN are carried by SSENSE and Dover Street Market.
