The Tit Tee by Sarah Shikama Gives the Illusion of Uncovered Bosoms

— December 20, 2014 — Fashion
The Tit Tee is cleverly named. Not only does it sound like 'titty,' which is a direct reference to the imagery hand-beaded directly on the chest of the shirt, it also describes the type of clothing it is. A subtler design than similar renditions, the Tit Tee is also much classier in regards to the materials used to create it.

Designed by Sarah Shikama, a visual artist and metalsmith based in Chicago, Illinois, the Tit Tee embraces her talent from handmade jewelry. Available in both black and white, the Tit Tee is described as "office-appropriate (maybe)" by Cool Hunting. Yet some people might not find is suitable for such professional settings.

Nevertheless, many women would find the Tit Tee empowering as it is a stylish expression of support for the #FreeTheNipple movement.
