Trans Athleisure Hoodie

Apparel
LGBTQ+

Patternmaking

In 2022, U.S. professional trans athletes faced incredible discrimination from government legislation disallowing them to participate in their sport based on arbitrary criteria. 

This stretch velvet post-workout hoodie is part of a gender-neutral collection intended to elevate the trans athlete and make them feel not only that they belong in their profession, but that they are valued there.




The hoodie is made with stretch velvet and features a silk-lined hood with spandex ribbing.
