Dear Person Behind Me Shirts

Spreading Kindness in Every Season

Our Dear Person Behind Me Shirts bring the same powerful concept of unexpected encouragement to a lighter, more versatile format perfect for warmer weather and year round layering. Each shirt carries meaningful messages designed to reach whoever stands behind you, offering hope and validation when they might need it most.

While our hoodies and sweatshirts have changed countless lives, we heard from our community that they wanted to spread these messages during summer months, in warmer climates, and in situations where a lighter layer makes more sense. That's how our Dear Person Behind Me Shirts collection was born.

The Same Mission, A Lighter Touch

Every Dear Person Behind Me Shirt maintains the core philosophy that made our original designs so impactful: a gentle affirmation on the front for you to see, and an encouraging message on the back for the person behind you. The difference is in the versatility.

These shirts work beautifully on their own during warm months, layer perfectly under jackets and cardigans, and provide comfortable options for indoor environments where heavier pieces might be too much. The message remains just as powerful whether worn in July sunshine or layered in December.

Designed for Real Life Versatility

The Dear Person Behind Me Shirts collection offers multiple styles to fit different preferences and occasions:

• Classic Crew Neck: Timeless, comfortable, appropriate for virtually any casual setting
• Relaxed Fit: A slightly looser silhouette that drapes beautifully and works for all body types
• Vintage Wash Options: Soft, lived in feel from the first wear
• Premium Cotton Blends: Breathable comfort that moves with you throughout your day

Each style in our Dear Person Behind Me Shirts collection is thoughtfully designed to be worn frequently, washed repeatedly, and loved long term.

Messages That Travel Light

Our shirt collection includes various messages, each crafted to offer specific types of support:

• The Original Message: Reminding someone the world is better with them in it

The lightweight nature of Dear Person Behind Me Shirts means these messages can travel with you in more situations, reaching more people who need them.

Stories From Our Shirt Wearing Community

The impact of Dear Person Behind Me Shirts reaches far beyond what we imagined:

"I wore my shirt to a crowded farmers market on a hot Saturday. A woman approached me in tears saying she'd been having suicidal thoughts that morning and almost didn't come out. Reading the back of my shirt while standing behind me at a fruit stand made her reconsider. We sat and talked for twenty minutes. I'll wear this shirt every single day if it means saving even one life." – Thomas, San Diego

"As a yoga instructor, I wear my Dear Person Behind Me Shirt to every class. Students literally position their mats to see the back during practice. Multiple people have told me reading that message during savasana, when their minds are quiet and open, has been profoundly moving." – Priya, Seattle

"I bought matching shirts for my entire family reunion. My teenage niece told me later that she'd been struggling with anxiety and seeing thirty family members all wearing messages of support made her feel less alone for the first time in months. She asked for three more shirts to wear at school." – Carmen, Chicago
