Introduction to Dropout - Born to STAND OUT

Welcome to Dropout, an independent streetwear brand created for the bold, the creative, and the unconventional. We’re more than just clothing — we’re a mindset, a community, and a rebellion against the ordinary. Whether you’re discovering us through our T-Shirts, our minimal Tops, or browsing all products, you’re entering a space where fashion meets purpose. We believe in streetwear that’s not just worn — but lived. Designed in Portugal, built for the world.

RICARDO PASSOS – FOUNDER

The troublemaker

I’m Ricardo, the founder of Dropout. Since I can remember, I’ve struggled to fit into systems that didn’t make sense to me — school, corporate life, social norms. I was always that kid who asked “why?” and challenged the rules. After studying Business Communication and spending two years in marketing, I walked away from a stable job to chase something that actually felt real: this brand.
In 2022, Dropout was born — not as a product, but as an answer to everything I once felt: trapped, different, restless. Inspired by pioneers like Nike, Supreme, and Balenciaga.

I realised one thing — nothing is impossible when you bet on yourself. Dropout is that bet.
