Gay Clothing Store

Gay clothing stores first started appearing in American cities in the 1960s. They were usually owned and run by gay men that used to be involved with the mainstream fashion industry. What set these stores apart was that they tended to sell and design male clothes that were shape hugging and/or revealing at a time when mainstream men's fashion looked down on this. By the 1980sthe fashion industry started to incorporate gay men's fashion sense and thus make it mainstream. At this point many of the original gay men's clothing stores started to close.

Among the most popular of these stores were:
