It started way back when I was about 17 and just starting to get into fashion. They were cool, they were chic, they were simple and they did the job. And then the poor buggers went through a bit of a rough patch when they wasn't so cool anymore and everything needed to be a bit smarter, snazzier (lol at sounding 50 years old, snazzy), a bit more statement and standout. But now more than ever the slogan tee/jumper/loungewear/everything brigade is back in full force and I for one am enjoying it more than Kanye enjoys a night in with just Kanye.
So I thought I'd scroll through some of my favourite online stores - you know, all in the name of being a good blogger - and pick out 25 slogan pieces that I can't get enough of right now/am hoping you'll all enable me to buy every single one.
[Insert upside down smile/"You think I'm joking but I'm not" emoji here]
MY TOP 5 FAVES
Here's a few reasons why I love Slogan tee's more than Grey's Anatomy and why I think they'll become a statement in your wardrobe too;
- They tend to be either sassy or cute af and those are two traits which I can get on board with.
- They're simple and comfortable and mostly cosy so why wouldn't you want to feel like you're wearing loungewear when out and about?
- A lot of the time they say the things you probably wouldn't say out loud/reflect how you're feeling without you actually having to say it. My current faves? "Boy, bye", "The Future is female" (sensing a theme here? #PromiseIDontHateAllMen #JustEveryoneOnBumble)
- THEY ARE COOL AND MAKE YOU LOOK A BIT LIKE AN EFFORTLESS TUMBLR GIRL (if styled right).
A BIT OF AL'WHITE'
Blazer - Primark / T-shirt - Next / Skirt - Primark / Shoes - Primark / Bag - Mulberry Zipped Bayswater in Rosewater (couldn't find a link for this shade but have linked similar)
THE JUMPERS
I have a lot of favourites - hence 25 because I couldn't narrow it down to 5 or 10 because... indecisive - but one of them is definitely the one I'm wearing in these shots. It says Bonjour Baby and it's actually from the loungewear section from Next and I'm bloody obsessed because it's comfortable and cool and will hopefully attract french men and as it's so simple, it goes with everything!
The rest of the outfit is a random concoction from my BFF's Primark. The blazer is a boyfriend/oversized style tweed blazer and I honestly cannot stop wearing it (so I hope you like it because it's going to be plastered all over my instagram for the rest of time). The shoes are some simple skates but how did I forget that they just go with everything and always look cool? Now I understand the crazy skate bandwagon from 2015 (anyone else remember that, or just me?). And the skirt is potentially one of my all time favourite Primark buys. The burgundy means it's perfect for the upcoming Autumn months and length is a brilliant of mix of "not too nun-like" but also not too "look at my vagina"... a classic mix if you ask me.
Anyone that follows me on Instagram would've no doubt seen that slogan t-shirts/jumpers paired with a skirt (and now a blazer because WHEN DID IT GET SO COLD?) have formed the vast majority of my wardrobe for the last few months and that ain't about to change any time soon. Which made me think that maybe I should invest in the higher end options that I never used to think I could justify but all of a sudden am manically scrolling down Net a porter.... because it's like, will I wear it to death? Yes. But is it still £200 for a simple t-shirt? Yes, yes it is. I think I'll still be sticking to my babe'in high street options for now but here are a few higher end options if any of you fancy treating yo'self!

THE HIGH END ONES
And that brings me to the end of my slogan fangirl. It's funny isn't it, how we can get obsessed with the most simple, basic things but I seem to be finding myself in a constant "searching on ASOS for new slogan tees" black hole lately because, well, they just make me feel good. They're fun and they make me smile (especially the Primark Love Island versions which I was oh so close to buying in bulk) and I don't think that's so much of a bad thing.
I'd love to know what pieces you're obsessed with at the moment? Are you a slogan tee/jumper/anything girl? I always love hearing your thoughts!
As always, thanks so much for reading!

I love the funday top you wore recently on your Instagram. I love a slogan tee too, a crisp white tee with a great slogan, ��
ReplyDeleteI love the 'bonjour baby' one that you're wearing, it's so cute! I just lost my favourite slogan tee a few weeks ago and I'm actually heartbroken. It was stripy and said "hello there sailor" in golden letters and I might never get over losing it. :D xx

I've been loving your slogan tees/jumpers on Instagram recently! I'm definitely a slogan clothing gal, although I only have a couple of tees and one jumper and I've been thinking recently that that really needs to change fast. Love the 'Hun' one, been eyeing it up for a while and might need to finally pick it up soon...gorgeous photos as always lady! xxx

In all honesty, I am not much of a fan of slogan t-shirts. Although, I have warmed up to them more lately and I do like the odd few, particularly Sezane's 'La Femme' t-shirt. But that blazer is insane, I can't believe it's Primark - I haven't stepped foot in there for anything more than pjs in ages! x

I just love how you styled that bonjour baby shirt, it's so cute. Slogan tees are really in style right now, and I can see why because they look so great.

Um okay can I just say how nice it is to read (hear?) someone else say the phrase sweet baby jesus, I say that all the time and I swear half the people that hear me say that think I'm super religious or something...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how you style your slogan pieces but I haven't found any perfect ones for me yet..maybe a brunch-related one?

Read my testimony! Getting ex back after a breakup.
My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried myself to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. I was really upset and I needed help, so I searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and I did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com call him/What’s-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.
So my first ever slogan tee was grey's anatomy inspired and from Hollister haha! This one is sooo sweet. I absolutely love slogan jumpers!! Beautiful pics BTW. :)
