While there's still a long way to go, fashion designers say conversations are starting to challenge gendered conceptions of clothing.

Embedded in our culture and prevalent in most clothing stores, fashion is distinguished by gender. But in this era of focusing on inclusivity, gender-bending fashion is rewriting the rules of who wears what. Stuzo Clothing, based in Los Angeles, is one example of gender-neutral clothing that doesn't define the person wearing them; rather the roles are reversed.

"So much of those rules are so arbitrary. Like pink and blue, right? Pink was originally for boys and blue was originally for girls ... until like the 40s when some marketer published a thing that said blue is for boys and pink is for girls," Weltman said."Because of the history of power with gender and with cisgender, I think it's really important that we embrace an aesthetic fluidity that helps people feel like they can be what they want to be.

Industry of All Nations develops quality staple clothing in collaboration with local communities around the world. They believe less is more, which is one reason their items are gender-fluid.
