WHO WE ARE

Hey we’re Wildfang - and we’ve proudly been wearing the pants since 2013. Years ago we stumbled upon a mighty secret, which is that we can’t feel like our best selves unless we first feel like ourselves. So we built a fashion label for those who hate labels, and started a rebellion of sorts–dedicated to the belief that feeling comfortable in one’s own skin is an act of resistance.

That same lil’ rebel spirit comes through in all we do–from the community we’ve cultivated to the collection we’ve curated: bold suiting, reimagined workwear, and statement staples in sizes XS–4X. All the ‘fits in all the sizes because confidence isn’t one size fits all. We are a fast growing DTC fashion brand available online & at our Flagship store in Portland, OR
