'Subway Shirts'

In various parts of Europe, a new trend has emerged among women who wear long, loose-fitting shirts—often referred to as "subway shirts"—while commuting on public transportation. The purpose of this clothing choice is to feel safer and reduce the risk of harassment during their daily travels. Many reports of harassment have surfaced in countries such as France and the United Kingdom, with many women sharing their experiences on social media. These posts often include demonstrations of how they use oversized shirts to conceal their figures, along with advice encouraging others to do the same. Is this trend a practical solution to protect women, or does it reflect a larger, unaddressed challenge related to migration and public safety in Europe?
