When it comes to la cultura, some of us love to represent it through fashion. Some of our most beloved Latina-owned brands like Badass x Bonita, Hija de tu Madre, and Jen Zeano Designs sell empowering tees celebrating us and our culture. In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, we wanted to round up some of our favorite statement tees like the “Millennial Señora” shirt from the Nalgona Positive Shop or the “Hoy y Siempre Immigrants Are Essential” top from 2 Locas Brand. Here are 10 shirts that will make your wardrobe as vibrant as our culture.

I’m Trilingual: English, Spanish & Spanglish – Karla and Co.
Let’s face it, Spanglish is basically a language on its own and we’ve fully embraced it. We love this trilingual tee from Karla and Co. that celebrates our ability to speak more than one language because IT IS worth celebrating. According to their website, Karls & Co is all about positivity and celebrating Latinidad and this tee does that while keeping it real.

Hoop Queen – Viva La Bonita
Viva La Bonita’s Hoop Queen top is an absolute vibe. Hoop earrings are a must so this tee pretty much sums up our life-long love for hoops. We also appreciate that it’s a little edgier and, much like their other products, makes a bold statement.
