27 Girl Power Tees and Accessories For Wearing Your Feminism On Your Sleeve
As you may have noticed, we here at Elite Daily have been enjoying celebrating Women's History Month. And what's a celebration without decorations?
Hence, I've collected some of the very cutest and coolest T-shirts, tanks, sweatshirts, patches, pins and jewelry that rep the wearer's feminist ideals. Some of them are even modeled by our very feminist staff members!
Whether your aesthetic is more political novelty tees or Etsy proto-Riot Grrl patches, there's something here for every woman who believes in women's equality.
Wicked Clothes
Senior Editor Alexia LaFata in A Woman's Place Sweatshirt, $34.99
Oh, and also the Oval Office.
This is Alexia's own sweatshirt, and she always gives me Leslie Knope vibes when she wears it to work. Among some of the other great offerings from Wicked:

CreepyGals
Fight Like A Grrrl T-Shirt, $13
CreepyGirls is one of the many Riot-Grrl-inspired Etsy shops that sells shirts, patches, pins and buttons with feminist messages. The "Fight Like a Girl" design can also be bought on a patch or a button. Most of the shirts come in white, pink or black.

Bow and Drape
Senior Editor Brittany Leitner in Customized Support Your Local Girl Gang Sweatshirt, $65
At Bow and Drape, you can either buy pre-designed shirts and accessories, or customize your own using lettering and/or the site's selection of emoji, food and sparkly decals. You can also purchase other user's designs like this The Future Is Female sweatshirt, or come up with your own lady-positive phrase like the sweatshirt above (created by Women's Editor Emily Arata). And maybe add a glittery donut. Because, you know, it is possible to do so.
If you're into girl gangs in general, I've also been wearing this beanie all winter.

Street harassment is an issue most women deal with every day, so send a serious but still-adorable anti-cat-calling message to all the scumbag dudes out there with this mountain lion T-shirt.

"Don't Tell Me To Smile" Tote, $18
