Statement Shirts

Statement shirts have been a hit and a lot of brands already adapted the trend of expressing different emotions and humourous pick-up lines through clothing. I remember my first statement shirt in college printed with Life is Taft and I just gave it away kasi it’s already everywhere. That’s one consequence, you could bump into someone wearing the same design and your purpose of making other people laugh will end up in a pile of awkwardness.
I bet, nakakita ka na nang taong nakasuot nang I’M WITH STUPID -> shirt. When this “shirt joke” became a hit, I felt paranoid that I always checked the shirts of people next to me. Haha. I also didn’t like the idea of girls wearing jogging pants in public. I mean, jogging pants with adjective-printed butts like SEXY, HOT CHICK, KULIT and so on…
Printing statement shirts has also been a way of expressing Pinoy culture… and can be a medium of pranks. Naisipan ko na nga minsan na pumunta sa isang party, hug and kiss everyone while I’m in a black statement shirt that says, PLASTIK. Haha. I saw this kind somewhere in Greenhills and Market! Market!.
There’s a new released series of shirts launched by a foreign religious group promoting Godly messages and reborn personalities. And I came across one design that says…
Eh? On second thought, it’s telling us something in a good way. But here in Manila, you need to at least subtitle three sentences more on this shirt – for a lot of people to understand that you’re actually crusading a religious act. I can’t imagine someone wearing this in the MRT.
But expect for the worst, we Filipinos try everything.
