Unisex at La Troupe begins with a simple idea: the same piece can be inhabited in different ways. Relaxed silhouettes, layers, kimonos, ruanas, shirts and trousers move between feminine and masculine expression without losing their identity. It is not about erasing differences. It is about creating garments with enough freedom for each person to make them their own.
What does Unisex mean at La Troupe?
At La Troupe, Unisex is not a category built around a trend, nor simply another way of dividing a wardrobe.
It is a natural extension of a design language shaped by movement, comfort, layering and silhouettes that do not need to belong exclusively to one kind of body.
Within the La Troupe universe, unisex pieces are designed to enter into a natural dialogue with both feminine and masculine dressing. The result is a wardrobe guided less by rigid definitions and more by freedom, proportion and personal interpretation.
One piece. Different ways of inhabiting it.
What makes a garment truly unisex?
A unisex garment has to work beyond the label.
Proportion, volume, drape and the possibility of adjusting or layering a piece all become part of the design. Across La Troupe, several garments use generous silhouettes, adjustable waists, relaxed cuts and constructions that allow for different interpretations.
The Tao Kimono, for example, can be worn open for a fluid, effortless line or crossed over the body for a more defined silhouette. The Tao Trousers use an elasticated waist and ties, allowing them to adapt naturally to different bodies.
There is no single correct way to wear them.
Are La Troupe kimonos unisex?
Yes. The Tao Kimono is designed as a unisex piece with a relaxed silhouette.
It can be paired with the Tao Trousers for a clean, coordinated look, combined with pieces such as the Lluvia or Hermès trousers for a more relaxed interpretation, or worn independently as a light layer.
Its versatility allows it to move naturally between the city and days by the sea without changing the character of the garment.
Can ruanas be part of a unisex wardrobe?
Yes. Ruanas are one of the clearest expressions of this idea within La Troupe.
The Cadena Ruana has an enveloping silhouette and is made in soft cotton yarn using the traditional backstrap loom technique. The Palenque Ruana, also designed as a unisex piece, combines a generous shape with embroidered details created by communities in Chiapas.
These are garments made to be layered, wrapped and reinterpreted according to the person wearing them.
Are La Troupe unisex shirts suitable for men?
Yes. The Organic Shirt is a long-sleeved unisex piece made from lightweight cotton manta, with front buttons and a relaxed construction.
Its variants feature Jaguar or Palma embroidery on the back and can be styled with trousers from the collection or worn more simply as a light layer near the sea.
The intention is not to create a separate menswear universe. It is to allow selected La Troupe pieces to exist naturally within both feminine and masculine wardrobes.
How do you build a unisex La Troupe look?
Start with a piece that has volume and allow the layers around it to shape the rest of the look.
A Tao Kimono with Tao Trousers creates a cleaner, more structured expression. A Cadena Ruana over a simple base shifts attention toward texture. The Hermès Trousers can move easily between kimonos, shirts, tops, jackets and ruanas thanks to their wide cut and fluid drape.
The point is less about following a formula and more about finding your own proportion.
A wardrobe made to be shared
La Troupe was born in Mexico through an encounter between design, textile craft and community. Its identity continues to be shaped by timeless pieces, human processes and a more sensitive way of inhabiting what we wear.
Unisex expands that language.
It does not erase the identity of the person wearing the garment. It leaves room for it.
