Juno

Juno’s (she/her) style has changed a lot over time, from skinny jeans and band tees, to bold and confusing fem looks in the city, to comfy, lived-in clothes that reflect her everyday rural life.

Now, Juno wears practical clothing for working outside, gardening, and spending time in her community. Even simple choices can send strong signals, though; a carabiner on a belt loop, handmade chain jewelry from the hardware store, and sturdy boots serve as cultural signifiers for her lesbian identity.

Many of her clothes come from friends, swaps, or reuse centers, not stores. These items carry stories— a belt made by a friend, a shirt traded for wine in a Montreal metro station, a dress gifted early in her transition on a first date. These clothes aren’t just outfits; they represent care, friendship, and belonging.

Juno admires older butch women in her community who wear jeans and plaid with confidence. Seeing others, especially other trans women, express themselves inspires her, too. Clothes help her feel strong in her body and confident in herself.

Style isn’t about trends. For Juno, it’s about comfort, connection, and culture. Whether it’s camo pants from a clothing swap, a DIY punk t-shirt, or a cozy cardigan from the dump, each piece holds meaning. They come from safe spaces and people, where experimentation is allowed and encouraged. That experimentation is needed to find the style that feels like you.

She summed it up simply: “I like clothes that feel like me— and I love sharing that feeling with others.”
