What a Concept
Whether they’re announcing that the wearer’s boyfriend is out of town or evoking a fictional tiki bar, T-shirts can’t seem to keep quiet lately. so if your top’s going to make a statement anyway, why shouldn’t it be constructive one? Heidi Matonis, a mother of three who studied fine arts in college, founded PositiviTee, a sweatshop free line of six shirt designs ($24-$27) and three bras ($19), all meant to “educate and activate people.” Best part: With each purchase, $5 is donated to a relevant charity. So a shirt that exhorts “Fight AIDS in Africa” supports the William J. Clinton Foundation’s HIV/AIDS initiative, and “Give a woman a loan…and give her a chance” goes toward the Grameen Foundation USA microfinance. But the charities aren’t the only beneficiaries: These stylish tops make looking good and doing good equally easy. And that’s really saying something. (positivitee.com)

A Tee-rific cause
We love the printed T-shirt trend that lets us personalize our wardrobes with a fab image or fun statement. Small wonder then that we flipped for PositiviTees, tops that promote some of our favorite causes. The mother-daughter company donates a portion of each sale to the organizations represented in stylish designs on the T-shirts, such as the Animal Protection Institute.
