It’s always a good time to be proud of who you are, and there’s no better time to celebrate who you love than during Pride Month. Taking place annually in the month of June, Pride Month is full of opportunities to show off and celebrate who you are while also learning about LGBT history.
Many of these opportunities are events like parades, where people go all out (no pun intended) with outfits and accessories. If you’re planning on attending a parade or celebration during Pride Month this, here are ten accessories to show that you’re out and proud.
There’s no clearer way to show off your pride than with a pride flag. Most of the time, they make perfect decorations for your dorm room or bedroom. But during Pride Month, you can take your flag down off the wall and incorporate it into your pride looks.
Pride flags are commonly worn to pride parades as capes. Or they’re just carried around like any other accessory would be. No matter how you choose to incorporate it, a pride flag can make a fantastic addition to your Pride Month look and really make any photographs you take pop.

If you’re looking to show off your pride in a more subtle way than wearing a pride flag, consider some pins or buttons. Pride pins and buttons come in a variety of styles and patterns, so you’re sure to find one that fits the look you’re going for. They’re low cost (with some of them costing as little as $1), putting them in virtually everyone’s budget.
Unlike pride flags or a full face of pride themed makeup, pins and buttons are small and easy to add or remove. This is a good option if you’re looking to celebrate Pride Month but you live with people who are less than supportive. It’s a way to celebrate and be proud of who you are without putting yourself in danger.

Everyone loves a good pair of fun socks. There are a ton of pride themed sock options out there for you to work into your Pride Month looks. Some of my personal favorites are knee high socks designed to look like pride flags. There’s some solid variety to them, so you should be able to find socks that represent your gender or sexuality.
Because Pride Month is in June, a lot of the events you may attend will probably outside in the summer heat. Pair your knee high pride socks with a pair of shorts and a tank top and you’ll be ready to go.

Stickers are another great pride accessory because you can use them without incorporating them into your outfits. You’ll want to stay hydrated while attending pride events, so why not throw some cute pride stickers onto a reusable water bottle?
There are a ton of creators on sites like Red Bubble making fantastic pride themed art that you can get on stickers. It’s a great way to show your pride year round while also supporting independent artists.

Hair color is a great way to complement any look that you’re planning on wearing for Pride Month.
