From Illeana to Varun: Celebrities let their T-shirts do all the talking

From quirky slogans to funny one-liners, HT Café helps you find your voice with a little help from T-shirts.

When John Mayer sang ‘Say what you need to say’, he was probably not thinking of how easy it is to offend people these days. But keeping the current situation in mind, where anything you say can offend someone or everyone, we look at a ‘fashion’ alternative via which you can, more or less, say what’s on your mind without saying it out aloud. Ileana D’Cruz recently wore a top that read ‘Will work out for fries’. The actor, who is known to be a foodie, once said in an interview that she eats what she wants to and then works out to lose the calories. While she looks ‘hot ‘n’ happening’ in this outfit, the T-shirt quote caught our attention. That’s indeed a cool way to express your inner foodie.

When we asked celebrity stylist, Ekta Shah what she thinks about the trend, she says, “I think comfort plays a big role. They [celebs] carry it [the slogan T-shirts] off with so much elegance. It looks drop dead fashionable each time they wear it.” Many brands across the globe are cashing in on funky quotes and in-your-face slogans for their
T-shirt designs. Here are some interesting options you can sport when you want your tee to do all the talking.
