After the success of last year’s Cacique is back this year with more bras, panties, tees and pajama sets to show you are LGBTQ+ and proud! As someone who still wears last year’s styles regularly, I couldn’t be more excited! This limited edition collection is available online and in select stores. Just like last year, 10 percent of Pride Collection proceeds will be donated to GLSEN. It is rare to find a brand during that Pride that makes size inclusive rainbow apparel up to a 28 AND donates to an LGBTQ+ organization.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with GLSEN’s work, they work to promote . They provide support for transgender students encountering discriminatory bathroom policies. They also provide free resources for Gender and Sexuality Alliances (GSA) which organize events such as Day of Silence and Ally Week. GLSEN helps make schools a safer place for kids to be their authentic selves.
GLSEN’s work is SO vital in the LGBTQ community as our youth are so vulnerable. LGBTQ youth are more likely to be bullied than their straight peers and have higher rates of suicide. Lane Bryant’s partnership with GLSEN makes supporting this collection an easy choice! On top of that, it’s cute as heck! Why is it important for brands to donate to LGBTQ+ organizations during Pride month? Because while it’s important to celebrate our sexual orientation and gender identity, we still have to recognize the marginalization and discrimination that many in our community face. Donations to support LGBTQ+ focused organizations show a commitment to fostering acceptance.
One of the big changes for this year’s is that items are available in a size inclusive range. Unlike their sister brand, Lane Bryant who focuses only on plus sizes, Cacique carries an inclusive size range of lingerie. You can purchase these chic rainbow intimates in sizes 0/2 to 26/28. For plus size babes that have straight size partners and want to wear matching intimates, this is a definite win! I tried out two styles – a bra and panty set and a pajama set.

This plus size rainbow pride set could not be cuter OR comfier! It’s soft to the touch and definitely cut in a way that would make it work for a range of shapes. I know the feedback from last year was more masculine leaning pieces and while the pieces still lean femme, I can see a more masculine identified babe wearing this too because of the looser cut! For reference, I am wearing the size 22/24 in the bottoms and 18/20 in the top.
It’s all about the details when it comes to this set. It’s hard to tell in these images but the rainbow heart says “in” which makes the total phrase read: “Believe in Love”. The lace trim on both the shorts and tank is delicate but makes a bold statement. My favorite part is the rainbow Cacique branding on the waistband. I sleep most nights in Cacique pajama shorts. Let me tell you, I can’t wait to add these to the rotation for Pride month!
Plus Size Rainbow Cotton Hipster Panty & Bra

These hipster panties have almost the feeling of gender neutral briefs made specifically for a larger body. That is not an easy feat to accomplish as many gender neutral options don’t account for wider hips. I’m wearing the 22/24 in order to have a bit of a higher rise in the front. In this size, they hit just above my belly button. They do not roll down at all (a major win). They have a thick Cacique-branded waistband and the cutest rainbow heart pattern.
Matching with the briefs is a front-closure lightly lined bra. It features the same rainbow Cacique branding on the side elastic. The front is a white with a subtle hint of the rainbow side branding. The back of the bra is a full-on rainbow party. It features the same delicate yet bold rainbow lace from the pajama set. The lace criss-crosses into a racerback style. I love the way the back of the bra adds a splash of color under the pajama top.
What I love about Cacique’s plus size rainbow Pride collection is how easy it is to mix and match pieces. This front closure bra could easily be worn with the “Love is Love” boy shorts. These briefs could be paired with either of the seamless bralettes or the wire-free bra. This just makes me want the whole dang collection!
So this Pride Month, wear your identity on your sleeve and say it from your chest that you are proud to be YOU!
