DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.wear Domain Names

Applicant announced; not delegated

The.wear string is a proposed generic top-level domain associated with fashion, clothing and wearable products. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.wear, while ICANN’s public new gTLD materials show the 2026 round is a pre-delegation application process rather than a live extension. That makes.wear a watchlist TLD for brands and creators interested in style-led naming, subject to the outcome of the application and evaluation process.

Frequently asked questions

Is.wear a live domain extension?

Publicly announced information indicates it is a proposed string, so it should not be treated as a live delegated extension at this stage.

Who is associated with the.wear application?

Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the organisation associated with the.wear application.

What is.wear likely to suit?

It is well suited to fashion, apparel, accessories, wearable technology and related campaign pages.

Can I register a.wear domain now?

That depends on whether the string reaches delegation and opens for registration; current public evidence does not support treating it as available today.

Why would a brand choose.wear?

It can make the subject matter clear immediately and create a more distinctive, product-led web address.
