The Trevor Project works in collaboration with Nautica on a new Pride collection launching to honor LGBTQA+ awareness and support. The duo joins forces to commit a financial pledge to the organization and help empower the community. The capsule itself is made up of tank tops, polo tops, accessories, shorts, and graphic tees.
All of the items are adorned with branding details and a colorful logo that is true to the community's vibrant flag. It can be seen on items such as the shorts that have the rainbow emblem pipe stitching along the back of the silhouette and along the sides. Notably, with every item sold, Nautica will be donating $1 to the project until June 30th.
