Who doesn’t love a good t-shirt? It’s comfy and can easily be the casual-yet-chic outfit for work or for the weekends when paired with either tailored trousers or denim jeans.
But if you want to show off a little more personality and character, ditch the plain tee and go for sassy slogan t-shirts that show you DGAF. You know what we mean.
Whether it is to demonstrate a little more of your political beliefs (e.g. Dior’s feminist t-shirts), to poke fun at the cultural zeitgeist of Singapore today or just to encourage others, these t-shirts are a great way for you to speak your mind — without actually opening your mouth. They are whimsical and fun additions to the wardrobe too.
Watch the video as we share with you tips on how to style the humble t-shirt and keep scrolling for our top picks of slogan tees.

Life’s a disaster — or is it? While you think your life might be falling apart, this tee is also a reminder that sometimes, things aren’t so bad.

Who run the world? Girls of course. This piece belongs to the aforementioned collaboration to celebrate International Women’s Day and Stella McCartney wants to use this shirt to share an uplifting message of gratitude to all the women around the world. You deserve a pat on the back, my dear.

For the uninitiated, huat is a Hokkien term that roughly translates to getting rich/prosperous. And combined with the iconic red Supreme logo, this design is a cheeky poke at Singapore’s constant chase for the 5 Cs (cash, car, credit card, condominium and country club). Or, you could simply wear it to invite some luck into your life.

No money for Prada? How about some prata then? Known for their parodies that combine high end labels with colloquial language, this Prata Kosong t-shirt (that plays on luxury brand Prada’s logo) by local designer Uncle Ahn T is only one of the many funny slogans in their line-up.
Others include ban mian (Balenciaga) and nasi lemak (NASA). Show your humour (and contempt for consumerism) by wearing a piece.

Drama mamas — we all know one. Yes, we’re talking about that person who always overreacts and goes ‘woe-is-me’ whenever the slightest inconvenience hits them.

Under the veil of advertising an effective detergent, this t-shirt plays on the homonym of the Mandarin words of ‘super white’ for the Hokkien term of, well, smelly vagina.
Typically used as a swear word to insult others or to tease a buddy, this is great to show your devil-may-care attitude. It also works as a gift for a close friend that you constantly banter with. Not for someone who gets easily offended.

The Danger – Keep Out sign is a regular fixture wherever there are any construction works. Maybe you’re still a work in progress or perhaps you’re feeling prickly because you can’t bear stupidity.
Wear this tee as an expression of your views and to keep unsavories at bay. Apt to wear on first dates where you know it will end “spectacularly”.
