A Celebration of Community

In both cities, families were welcomed into a beautifully curated boutique experience. Racks of fashion-forward clothing, cozy fall/winter jackets, shoes, and accessories were hand-selected to fit every style and need. Our boutique design was intentional: bright, welcoming, and affirming spaces where every client felt valued and seen.

Clothing as Empowerment

Out My Closet believes that clothing is never just clothing—it’s empowerment, confidence, and the ability to step into the school year ready to thrive. Watching our youth and their families try on outfits, discover personal styles, and leave with bags full of essentials reminded us why this work is so critical.

Glam & Glow

Alongside clothing, our partners provided cosmetics, personal care items, and beauty resources that allowed clients to experiment, play, and glow. The glam stations were buzzing with excitement as clients tried on makeup, learned new beauty tips, and left feeling radiant inside and out.

Drag Performances & Joy

No Out My Closet event is complete without joy! Local drag performers brought energy, laughter, and unforgettable performances to both boutiques. Their presence lit up the room, creating a celebratory atmosphere where fashion, performance, and resilience came together.

Thank You to Our Partners

These events would not have been possible without the support of our partners and donors who believe in creating safe, affirming, and abundant spaces for LGBTQ+ youth and families. Together, we’re not just giving clothes—we’re giving hope, dignity, and opportunity.
