Our Year in Community: What OUTFAIR Customers Built in 2026

Some years are measured in orders. Ours is measured in people. OUTFAIR is LGBTQ+ owned, run by OUTFAIR LLC, and serving this community since 2014, and 2026 belonged, as every year does, to the customers who wore the pieces, gifted the pieces, and built real life in them, at beaches, on cruises, at Pride, at the gym, and at home on a quiet Sunday. This post is our honest look back, no invented numbers, no borrowed stories, just what this community actually built with us.

A wardrobe with meaning, worn all year

Pride is a season on the calendar and a daily choice in the drawer. The Pride Power swimsuit from KBAYO, a house brand with free U.S. shipping, carries that choice into the water, light blue color, limited edition, never restocked. Pieces like this sell because they mean something before they look good, and they look very good.

Small brands, real choices

A community store is a shelf where small and independent labels sit beside house brands, and the customer decides. A surf swimsuit from LAVISH NY and an azure jockstrap from BATTYSTA, both house brands, show the range our customers moved through this year, beach classics on one side, playful color on the other, every order a small vote for the kind of store they want to exist.

The training and travel year

Our customers trained, traveled, and showed up for themselves all year, and the kit followed, tanks built for heat and movement, swim built for real water, and underwear built for real weeks. A torpedo tank is a fitting symbol of that year, strong lines, active cut, and zero interest in hiding.

What we carry into next year

• The mission stays, an LGBTQ+ owned store, run by OUTFAIR LLC, serving this community since 2014.
• House brands ship free in the U.S., KBAYO, LAVISH NY, ETHAN UNDERWEAR, BAD BOY, BATTYSTA, and JCASTELL.
• Partner brands ship at one flat rate per brand, and every order comes with 30 day returns.
• The Miami Beach boutique is closed, and this online store is home now, open every hour of the year.

Thank you, in plain words

Thank you to the regulars who reorder their basics and trust us with gifts for the men they love. Thank you to the first time buyers who found an LGBTQ+ owned store and decided their money should live here. Thank you to the men who wrote reviews, sent sizing questions, and told a friend at the beach where their favorite brief came from. That word of mouth is community in action, and it is worth more than any ad we could buy.

Browse the Pride collection and the KBAYO collection, and take a piece of this year with you. Thank you for every order, every gift, and every beach day you let us be part of. Next year, we build it together again.
