Relegated to the rank of pajamas or “all-purpose top”, this piece is regaining its fashion credentials more than ever this season. Here’s how to adopt it without further delay.
Reminiscent of the 2000s, this t-shirt trend, which was still recently considered out of fashion, is making a comeback to spice up our wardrobes. Worn by fashionable girls like Victoria Beckham, Anne Hathaway, singer Dua Lipa and many others, it oscillates between bursts of humor and political messages.
This nerdy T-shirt is the fashion investment of the new school year
The eternal white T-shirt seems to have some competition! Versatile and original, this alternative has the merit of infusing a touch of fantasy into any classic look. The little extra: it can be imagined in many colors and adapts to all body types, to our great pleasure.
Its name? The message T-shirt. Remember, in the 1990s, Paris Hilton already unleashed the American press with her provocative top, which has remained famous: “Stop being desperate“. For her part, Victoria Beckham used the trend to respond to people who criticized her for never smiling. In 2017, the former Spice Girls was spotted in New York wearing a t-shirt that read: “Fashion stole my smile“. A good way to silence the gossips while promoting her eponymous fashion brand. Clever! And while Dua Lipa chose the slogan t-shirt to prove her “fitness instructor” qualities, Anne Hathaway used it to show her support for Mahsa Amini, a young woman killed for opposing the wearing of the veil in Iran.
The latest to get on board with the trend? Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s daughter. The model posted on her Instagram account, wearing a top with the following text: “Come to my house I have great books“. A way of reminding everyone of his passion for literature.
How to wear the message t-shirt trend in 2024?
On trousers or tucked into a high-waisted skirt, in an assumed 90s spirit, the denim t-shirt goes with all outfits. For a casual and easy-to-wear everyday look, opt for a jeans/t-shirt combo, a safe bet!
Just make sure to choose a well-cut model, flared or straight according to your preferences and tuck the ends of the top in to make it puff out slightly over your belt. That’s it! You can also opt for more sophisticated alternatives. For example, pair your top with tailored trousers to break up the casual side, like Victoria Beckham.
The more feminine can also combine their slogan tee with a textured pencil skirt, like Anne Hathaway, for a couture and feminine look. The choice is yours!
