Empowering women’s T-shirts that get the message across, loud and clear - plus a few feminist T-shirts guys can wear too
From Dior’s iconic ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ T-shirts to Barbie-inspired ‘Smash The Patriarchy’ slogan tees, our obsession with slogan tops has gone from cheeky sayings to those with meaning, empowering T-shirts if you will, and I’m all for it. And it doesn't have to be International Women’s Day to fire yourself up when you get dressed in the morning - look at Meghan Markle's new female empowerment tee for reference.
The royal was pictured looking in the Californian sunshine in a tee in support of Alliance of Moms, emblazoned with 'Love Like A Mother' in red across it. The classic white crew tee is currently available for £30.93 in all sizes, from XS - £XL.
View post on InstagramWhile we definitely don’t need a reason to wear a feminist T-shirt, there’s no time like now to ramp up the girl power – we’re a pretty incredible bunch worth celebrating. Not forgetting feminist T-shirts guys can wear, because they need to show their support too.
Looking at the celebrities wearing feminist T-shirts is a line-up of modern-day icons; Meghan Markle, Rihanna and Oprah along with ’s own America Ferrera whose rousing monologue in the movie is still being talked about. Others include Emily Ratajkowski, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington.
How I chose the best empowering T-shirts
- Slogans: They’re all centred around women’s empowerment, with meaning.
- Price: Most of the items included are under £50.
- Charitable causes: Some designs give back to women's charity with every purchase, and if they do, I've made it clear what cause they're supporting and how.
- Unisex: I've included T-shirts for women, men and unisex options too.
