Subtext kinda needed, but that's sort of the point, we assume. Just run with it.

The only thing hotter than Earth is a climate activist who wears their heart on their sleeve(-less tank).

ERL

If you're trying to be "so baby girl" but haven't quite lucked out just yet, maybe being blunt about it in this ERL top will help said pursuit along.

Gallery Dept.

The sun is sunning this summer, and this T will encourage your onlookers to get their dose in. Don't y'all dare forget that SPF though!

Moschino

Now, we could dive deep into the sociology of the fashion system and why Moschino's fearful plea is both ironic and just – but we won't. Instead, we'd like to see you take a jab at yourself and cop this nearly 500 buck slogan tee that, by extension, makes fun of people for buying 500 buck slogan tees.

Off-White

Speaking of irony, this Off-White shirt will have you exclaiming your love of it pretty directly.

Online Ceramics

There's a lot going on here, on this adorable, tie-dyed, campy post card of a slogan tee.

Evidently, irony's inevitable in the genre of slogan tees, even if you don't notice it at first glance. Rive Gauche is the region of Paris "left" of the Seine river, broadly associated with affluent intellectuals, bohemians and artists. God knows they'd sooner die than wear an expensive but inexpensive-looking shirt stating they reside there.

Wales Bonner

Keep going, never give up, and be persistent in whatever it is you're trying to achieve – that's the spirit Wales Bonner's spin on a slogan tee aims to evoke. What a lovely, if cheesy, note to end this article on.
