Tems speaks out against rigid dress standards for artists, advocating for freedom and personal expression in the music industry.

There should not be a set of rules for how artists dress, according to Tems, the singer.

During a recent interview with Essence Magazine, she emphasized that artists must showcase their distinct styles. She strongly believes that one’s uniqueness is what sets them apart and makes them exceptional.

According to Tems, her clothing selection is a reflection of genuine expression instead of an effort to communicate any specific idea.

Being true to yourself is crucial, regardless of any external expectations. It’s a guaranteed victory when you stay authentic and real in your own skin – the way that looks may differ for everyone, which is why there’s diversity.

We each have our unique qualities and are not intended to conform. While there may be certain expectations, it is unfair to impose a dress code for artists or women in general.

“I believe that each of us is exceptional and thus, there should be no necessity or anticipation to conform to a particular dress code.”
