Unisex

Unisex clothing is cut to fit both men and women. The cut mostly follows the straight men's model (broader shoulders, longer body, no waist shape) but is offered in a slightly wider size grid (XS - 3XL) to cover women's sizes as well. Classic unisex categories are T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, polo shirts, poncho-style rain jackets, bathrobes and basics such as socks and beanies.

For promotional textiles, club and company wear, unisex is the standard: it reduces sourcing complexity because only one size line has to be stocked and is inclusive because non-binary people as well as very slim men and larger women are covered. Downside is the less figure-hugging fit - for tailored women's silhouettes one has to switch to explicit "ladies" or "women's" styles.

In fashion, unisex has enjoyed a second heyday since the 2010s through brands like COS, Uniqlo and many streetwear labels, often paired with oversized silhouettes. Important for sellers: publish a clear size chart - unisex cuts usually run one size larger for women than a women's cut.
