International Women’s Day 2024: Wearing Purple to Bold Makeup, Fashion Tips to Promote Equality

International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8. This special day is marked worldwide, with people coming together to celebrate women’s rights, equality, and accomplishments. This year, the theme for International Women’s Day is ‘Inspire Inclusion’.

International Women’s Day is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your dedication to feminism in a concrete way. This momentous occasion honours the unwavering efforts of women throughout history who fought for our rights and celebrates gender equality. To commemorate this day, you can wear clothing that promotes equality and sends out a strong message, or show your support for independent brands led by women.

Let’s look at some outfit ideas you can wear to honour International Women’s Day this year:

Wear Purple

Purple stands out among the various colours associated with the Suffragist movement. The colour was introduced in 1908 by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the United Kingdom, whose flag consisted of purple, white, and green. Purple represented justice and dignity, green symbolised hope, and white represented purity. Wearing a shade of purple on International Women’s Day is a way to express your feminist side. Wear a simple sundress or cardigan and let your feminism show.

You could also wear clothes in the suffragette colours of green and white. Alia Bhatt, who starred in the feminist film Gangubai Kathiawadi, can serve as an inspiration. Her recent saree appearances to demonstrate how traditional Indian looks can be used to convey a message.

Feminist Sweatshirt

If you are into casual wear and like to keep it comfy yet politically relevant, wear Wildfang’s Wild Feminist Fleece.

Women-Centric T-shirts

Prabal Gurung, a celebrity fashion designer printed the phrase ‘The Future is Female’ on a simple white t-shirt in 2017, making it a fashion statement at New York Fashion Week. Models such as Bella Hadid wore the outfit for the ramp walk, and you too can show your support by wearing something similar.

You could customise your t-shirt and get any quote or one-liner related to women empowerment printed in your t-shirt. So this Women’s Day, wear your outfit with style.

Feminist Jewellery

Wearing jewellery designed by female-led indie brands is one of the best ways to express your feminist side. Wear this Femme Necklace to express your feminine beauty or try a pair of chunky hoops designed by female jewellers.

Bold Makeup

International Women’s Day is all about celebrating your femininity, so go bold with your makeup. A bright red lip or a smokey eye can make any outfit look more glamorous. If you’re not a fan of bold makeup, opt for a more subtle look with nude lips and winged eyeliner.
