9 empowering T-shirts with the best slogans for International Women's Day

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 - especially with International Women’s Day here on March 8 to fire yourself up when you get dressed in the morning. Just look at Meghan Markle's female empowerment tee for reference.

The royal was pictured in the Californian sunshine last year 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 still for £31 in all sizes, from XS - £XL.

While 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 Barbie’s own America Ferrera whose rousing monologue in the movie is still being talked about. Others include Emily Ratajkowski, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington.

When is International Women's Day 2025?

IWD is celebrated on March 8 every year, and the theme of the campaign changes year on year. For 2025, the International Women's Day theme is 'Accelerate Action', with the focus on forging a gender equal world.

The official IWD website explains this further, as "addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres."

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.
