It’s hard to pinpoint just how far back slogan tees go. Long before they became the uniform of Y2K It-girls or a front-row fashion-week staple, the humble T-shirt was already proving that sometimes, if you can’t say it with words, wear it across your chest.

I’d be remiss not to revisit the slogan tee’s poignant political roots in the ’70s and ’80s. After all, said tees were the blueprint for turning a humble cotton T-shirt into a walking billboard for whatever you believed in (or, in some cases, vehemently disagreed with). Take Vivienne Westwood’s now-iconic God Save the Queen tee, which channelled the anti-establishment angst of the punk movement, or Katharine Hamnett’s Choose Life design, made famous after Wham! wore it in their Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go music video.

By the early 2000s, the slogan tee had found a new megaphone in celebrity culture, becoming cheekier and occasionally deliciously bitchy. Two of integral note: Britney Spears’s now-legendary Dump Him T-shirt and Drew Barrymore’s My Boyfriend Is Out Of Town tee. Some, like Paris Hilton and Naomi Campbell knew exactly how to play the media game, turning their own tabloid reputations into wearable punchlines.

And, of course, it wasn’t long before fashion’s Big Four caught on to the power of the slogan tee. Moschino was among the early pioneers, making a name for itself with irreverent, logo-heavy statements that poked fun at fashion itself. Then came Dior’s now-iconic We Should All Be Feminists T-shirts, alongside Prabal Gurung’s politically charged messages, including The Future Is Female and I Am an Immigrant, which still hold as much power today as they did then.

In recent years, the slogan tee has made its mark, in a big way, with Loewe’s I Told Ya T-shirt courtesy of Challengers and Conner Ives’s Protect the Dolls tee, which turned a simple slogan into a globally uniting rally cry of sorts.

With all that in mind, it’s hardly surprising that the humble slogan tee is enjoying a healthy resurgence, with runway trends trickling down to the high street and celebrities like Dua Lipa using their influence to bring the statement tee back into the spotlight. As a self-confessed slogan tee addict, I’ve done the hard work and rounded up the 50 — yes, 50 — best slogan T-shirts to buy right now.
