Welcome to
Let Clothes Be Clothes
Let Clothes Be Clothes is a grassroots campaign set up in 2014 to challenge gender stereotyping in the design and marketing of children's clothing, footwear and accessories.
Led by Francesca Cambridge Mallen, LCBC promotes consumer choice by challenging the widespread practice of gender coding products into either 'for girls' or 'for boys.'
​
Gender marketing exploits outdated ideas about the role of men and women in society, and perpetuates inequality - starting at birth.
Families are telling us they want to shop for children's products based on colour, type and age instead, and by passing clothes more freely between siblings, do their bit for the environment too.
Our work includes advocating better and more equitable school uniform policies, working with both parent/s and schools to establish 'mindful and considerate policies' (Dept for Ed, England) through meaningful dialogue.
