Falling on 8 March, International Women’s Day celebrates and venerates women while shining a light on society’s inherent inequalities. It’s not a time to belittle feminism, or for us to tell you what to wear. But, the clothes you pick (whether you like it or not) make a statement about what you believe in and stand for, and what better way to present your ideals to the world than with a slogan T-shirt?
If you're clever about it, you can do more good than just spreading the word of equality – by investing in an item of clothing that also gives back. Dancing Leopard is donating all profits from its heart-print tee to charity, Women's Aid has teamed up with Spice Girl Mel B, creating an 'Unbreakable' slogan T-shirt, and Girls Vs Cancer has a whole host of fun styles to choose from.
These slogan tees are an easy way to support women worldwide – even if it is just with a few positive words.
