There are plenty of established Christian apparel brands nowadays...but it can be boring seeing the same 5 large brands over and over again on our social media. Everyone loves a good underdog story, a rookie who takes the league by storm. So, here are the top 7 Christian apparel brands that are about to BLOW UP. You heard it here first.

7. Proclaim the Gospel Co.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/proclaimthegospelnyc
Here we have a Christian clothing brand based on Mark 16:15, a great verse to base a Christian apparel brand on.
Their story can be found on their Instagram highlights, which state, "We want our brand to be a platform that is first and foremost used to glorify God and point people to Jesus. That is the heart of everything we do."
Can't argue with that. They continue to say, "We do this by creating designs on casual clothing that are intentionally made to be a reflection of biblical scripture in hopes of teaching others the word of God and Jesus Christ."
They don't beat around the bush. They're solely scripture focused and their trendy casual clothing represents that, as well. They combine a muted palate with tees and hoodies that have designs teens and adults alike will love.
Also, they hand craft their designs instead of out-sourcing the printing or using printing on-demand! So sick and resourceful!
Make sure to check out their Etsy shop and show them some support!
6. Jesus Freak Club

This trendy brand is simple, yet effective. So far, they have 1 design and they use it effectively. The innocently-drawn "Jesus Freak Club" logo with the "Jesus <3 You" on the back is a perfect concise reminder of God's love for us. They offer a variety of colors between their hoodies and tees, and they make sure to give back by doing mission work, which proves they're not just in this for the money but to spread the Gospel.
Their founder, Blake Stoner, created the brand because even though he had grown up in the Church, he felt as if his life did not truly reflect God. He had trouble sharing the gospel with people and when he started wearing this design, it opened up a huge opportunity to share based on people's feedback.
People would ask Blake questions about the shirt, what it meant, and where it came from.
"These comments allowed me to open up about my faith and share the Gospel," Blake says.

"Follow the son," yes. Yes, I am in.
And it gets better. Just you see.
They donate ALL of their proceeds to non-profit organizations. 100%.
Their "About Us" page explains, "At 17, I started Follow the Son from being inspired by an organization I participated in called Youth Philanthropy. Their focus was to raise money and donate to nonprofit organizations in my community that were in need. My focus then followed and was driven to help make an impact in individuals' lives. I want to inspire others to give back and express their faith while humbly sharing God’s love!"
Not only do they have a great story and cause, but their apparel is sleek and modern, too. Based out of Minnesota, they offer local pickup and shipping. Make sure to check out their arrangement of hoodies, tees, and stickers at followthesononline.com!

Let's take a break from America and road trip north up to the frigid country of Canada! Eh, bud!
This Canadian-based Christian apparel brand focuses on joining brothers and sisters in Christ into a community of believers by wearing their faith-based Godly apparel.
Their owner Taylor Shultz explains, "I decided to start designing this store because I wanted to bring together a community to share God’s word through the clothes we wear. I know it can be hard sometimes to step out and share the gospel, so I wanted to make a clothing line that combined God’s truth with trendy styles for everyone! My goal is to get my brand out there and across the world. So don’t be afraid to join the community and let’s see the impact that we can make on the world."
They incorporate a wide variety of clothing types from shirts to hoodies to joggers and use their own trendy designs and fonts.

3. Bright Feelings

Bright Feelings is a company based out of Southern Minnesota that brings the heat in terms of Christian clothing lines. They have a unique chic style of modernly-retro designs on a variety of clothing types.
Their name dictates their mission, to aid mental health by spreading Jesus and bright feelings to warm the hearts of both those wearing and those sporting these trendy apparel pieces.
Their owner, Hannah Whelan, has a unique story about how she got into the apparel business as a senior in high school. She reminisces on her site, "One night I, randomly, went on a website and designed a sweatshirt so I could donate the profit to my church. Quite a few people bought it! I fell in love with the whole process of selling the sweatshirt. From designing it to seeing others loving the design to passing them out on Delivery day! I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to do this more."
This story about how they started along with their mission of spreading Jesus' love and joy in accordance with Mark 16:15 is a great reason to support this brand and expect them to blow up very soon!

2. Forty-Six Ten

Sure, there are plenty of Christian apparel brands out there that just have Jesus merch. There are so many of those. I mean, yeah, you can never have too much Jesus clothing, but inundation is a thing.
That's why it's so refreshing to have an uber-specialized brand hit the market in the past year.
Forty-Six Ten is a Christian apparel company with a unique mission and beginning, they're based on Psalm 46:10,
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
They focus mainly on mental health awareness, anything from everyday anxiety to clinical depression- and everything in between. Their mission is to bring awareness to these rising cases of mental illness by spreading the good news of Jesus and the faith on trendy clothing.
Their "Our Story" page on their site reads, "We ultimately believe bringing awareness to mental health will allow people to more easily bring their experiences and struggles to the light and reach out for help or share their stories.
We have committed to donating 10% of our profits to The Grace Alliance."
They also have a unique start, "The start of Forty-Six Ten takes place in our Messiah apartment after midnight...
...We then went on to craft our official business plan for Messiah’s Shark-Tank-like style competition- where we would pitch our business venture in front of a live audience and investors.
After weeks of late nights crafting and revising this plan and presentation, we took third place in the competition and won our start-up funding. It’s been a blur from there."
Their combination of mental health awareness focus based on "be still and know that I am God" combined with their 10% profit donation to The Grace Alliance (you can learn more about their Christian mental health practical aid resources at their website linked here) lands them a top spot on this list.
They may be just starting up, but we envision big things for this brand. Make sure to check them out and show some support on their website fortysixten.net and their Instagram @fortysixtenco!
1. Like Honey Avenue

We decided to rank this apparel brand so high up mainly because of the aesthetic, both of their apparel designs, and of their website/photography. You can tell they know how to bring an idea cohesively together in a trendy, sleek, and beautiful way.
With fair prices and extremely trendy clothing like the crewneck shown in the photo (who doesn't love that song), they are sure to catch any 18-30 year old's eyes.
They have a simple yet effective mission-
"every knee shall bow
every tongue shall confess--
make His name known"
is what their Instagram bio reads @likehoneyave. Nothing better than a solely scriptural-based mission statement.
Make sure to check them out at their website likehoneyave.com!
