The Fortune 500 Shirt kit is the debut product of Empowering Workwear by Lydia and centers around the story of gender inequality in the workplace.

The fabric has the male and female symbols discretely woven in with the gender ratio of the Fortune 500 CEO list. The mother of pearl pay gap buttons show the pay gap difference and the handmade numbered cufflinks are an artistic rendition of the breaking of the glass ceiling.
