How to Style Bold and Colourful Pride Jewellery

Pride has no strict rules, only the freedom to express yourself in whatever way feels most authentic. Some people love to make a bold statement with rainbow outfits, glitter, feathers, and face paint, while others prefer to take a more low-key approach, weaving subtle hints of colour into their everyday style. Both are valid! If you want to show support without wearing head-to-toe rainbow, try adding a colourful accessory, a bright T-shirt, or a simple flag pin.

June is often a hot month, so it is worth dressing with the weather in mind. Light fabrics such as cotton or linen are ideal, and breathable layers can help if temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. Sun protection is a must: sunglasses, hats, and SPF will make sure you stay safe and comfortable. Expect to do a lot of walking, especially if you're taking part in a parade or attending the events. Trainers or supportive sandals are a smart choice unless you're confident walking in heels or statement footwear. Many people bring a change of shoes if they want to switch between style and comfort.

Ultimately, your Pride outfit should feel good to wear and allow you to enjoy the celebrations with confidence. Whether you're covered in sequins or dressed in casual clothes with a pop of colour, what matters most is showing up and celebrating who you are, or standing in support of others.

Not at all! 

While the rainbow flag is recognised as a symbol of LGBTQIA+ unity, Pride is deeply personal, and what you wear should reflect how you identify, support, or feel. If you’re part of the community, you might want to represent your own flag, whether that’s lesbian, bisexual, transgender, asexual, pansexual, aromantic, or any other identity. As an ally, you might choose to wear rainbow colours or show support in a different way altogether.

For example, the lesbian flag features warm shades of orange, pink, and white, symbolising femininity, strength, and love. The gay flag reflects the colours of the rainbow, while the bisexual flag is made up of pink, purple, and blue. The transgender flag is made up of pastel blue, pink, and white, for the traditional colours for boys and girls, along with white to represent non-binary and transitioning identities.

Of course, these aren’t the only identities worth celebrating. There are many more flags, such as the asexual flag in black, grey, white, and purple, and the pansexual flag in pink, yellow, and blue. Whether you identify with a specific flag or don’t label yourself at all, your presence at Pride is valid. Wear what makes you feel proud, visible, and authentically you.
