After putting their outfit together, Heyer added an oversized t-shirt on top before getting on the subway; it’s what Heyer and others online are calling a “subway shirt.” The idea of wearing a “subway shirt,” or any type of covering on the train, is an attempt to avoid sexual harassment on public transit. [Heyer posted a video of her taking off her subway shirt]( once she reached her destination, and they had hundreds of comments relating to their experience (alongside misogynistic comments from men). After seeing the response, Heyer decided to create her own shirt with “subway shirt” written on the front, with the help of their friend Riley Scott. They have since sold [one thousand “subway shirts” in under three weeks]( and raised over $12,000 for Planned Parenthood and The Yellowhammer Fund — as Heyer knew she didn’t want to profit off of the shirts. “Fashion is about joy and personal expression,” she says. “But sometimes it’s also a form of armor.” [→ READ MORE]( the latest SOUNDCHECK [Lola Leon’s “Spelling” & 9 Other New Songs Out This Week]( Featuring tracks from Bad Bunny, Maiya the Don & more.
