When the basic tee is the statement

When you talk about a fashion statement, you may think about a big, colorful, monumental and beautiful piece of clothing that speaks for itself, or like the Oxford Dictionary might define it, a fashion statement is “denoting something, such as a visually striking piece of jewellery, clothing, or interior decoration, that is intended to convey a particular attitude or image”. Well in 2017, a fashion statement is letting your clothes do all the talking, and how is that? Well this year’s biggest trends come with messages printed on, that’s right, if you wanted to get political and loud about your beliefs, fashion is on your side this time.

Even when some people think that fashion and politics might not make a good mix, the truth is that they have always been related, Anna Wintour said once “If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what’s going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times”, specially when you have designers like Stella McCartney, Christian Dior and many others, that are not afraid of speaking their mind and calling for a change.

This year, the best accesory you can wear is a political statement, that you can have written on your tee. This trend, shown in many collections for spring/summer and fall/winter seasons, is helping people to speak their mind, even if it’s not with their voice. Messages like “we should all be feminists” from Dior or “the future is female” by Prabal Gurung; who appeared in the runway with a tshirt that said “this is what a feminist looks like”, or just a simple word like “love” in a sweater of Michael Kors, were seeing from New York to London, Paris and Milan, and are calling people from all over the world, with all religions and beliefs to join the revolution.

Your all time favorite basic tee for a lazy sunday in bed or to go to the gym, has made a big come back, and promises to become your favorite item this year. When you see celebrities like Chiara Ferragni, Kathreen Khavari, Emily Ratajkowski and Katy Perry, making a statement with just a tshirt you will want to get yours right away.

If you are wondering how to style your slogan t-shirt, the good news is that this garment is very versatile, and looks good basically with everything. This basic t-shirt can be worn with many looks; from a pair of clasic jeans with sneakers, long skirts, denim shorts or with a blazer for a formal look, and you can also take it to the supermarket, to the movies, to work or to a night out with friends.

Clothes have always talked about the person who wears them, but this year says more than we think. The result? People more secure about their beliefs and less afraid of what other people think.
