Pride Week is about letting your queer flag fly, and if you're straight, celebrating humanity in all its preferences. It's a time to rock the loud, expressive looks you've been coveting in the nooks of your closet. It's also about watching and/or participating in the Pride Parade next Saturday, during which temperatures are sure to be warm. Here are our picks for that little extra something you needed to properly celebrate Pride, whether it's the final step to your day drag or a tamer declaration for the office.
