Demand for that most iconic of fashion statements, the slogan t-shirt, is increasing in the Middle East.
According to Polo Shirts UK, a rise in personalised messages and slogans on printed t-shirts has been noticed on the streets of Qatar with designs ranging from funny to environmental.
This type of leisurewear t-shirt is giving a normally reserved people the chance to make a statement about who they are and the world they live in.
But, to some, a slogan on a printed t-shirt can be seen as something to be regarded carefully which, after all, is one of their many purposes.
Mysterious slogans with no immediate meaning are sometimes treated suspiciously and numbers or symbols that don't relate in any specific way to the wearer can cause some raised eyebrows.
However, these t-shirts can often be a good excuse to break the ice with someone whose design intrigues the observer.
Another great advantage is availability of designer t-shirts which can be worn for comfort and to make a fashion statement without breaking the bank.
