14 DAY TRIAL // This is one trend that comes and goes at almost regular intervals. Regardless of this, stylists underline, it will probably see its highest peak in the spring / summer of 2009, as statement T-shirts will again become a strong presence on the fashion scene. Used either to say what the wearer won’t or can’t, or simply for their coolness factor, we’re to brace ourselves for an avalanche of these items, fashion insiders also tell us.
The great thing about statement T-shirts is, first and foremost, that they allow the wearer to, well, make a statement on a wide range of things, from taking up a healthier lifestyle by going veg, to things we wish we could say but our common sense is getting in the way (such as “I’m hot” or the pictured “I’m so worth it”). However, they also make for very chic clothing items, especially if we opt for light colors for the tee (blue, white, pale pink) and stronger shades for the message (a mix of colors would do even better, stylists confirm).
A statement tee with a more daring cut – the off-the shoulder look is still in, as also is the deep décolletage – paired with leggings and high heels, make for one of the hottest looks of the coming season, stylists are revealing for us. Wet (PVC) leggings, or what’s left of the leggings frenzy that swept the world last year, go great with such a tee, especially when some funky jewelry is also thrown in for a more trendy look. By all means, the possibilities are truly infinite with a statement tee.
What’s even better about this item that is slowly making its way into the spotlight is that it’s easily accessible. Women who simply don’t have the time to go out shopping – although the odds for that are close to none – can always just take their shopping online, as there are countless websites that specialize precisely in selling statement T-shirts. Granted, they are the regular type of tee (so no funky cut here), but at least they compensate for this with the myriad of messages available, some of them truly to kill for.
These being said, spring might be yet to come, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not to start looking for the perfect message tees for our wardrobe as of now. A woman can never have enough clothes, it is believed.
