Overview
Katty Kay has spent years dissecting the intersection of confidence, power, and gender - from her bestseller The Confidence Code to her new 2026 book The Power Code and her weekly conversations on The Rest Is Politics. In 2026, her voice on the podcast continues to challenge how we think about women in leadership. And it turns out, the merch collection carries that same energy. The Rest Is Politics women empowerment merch isn't just about showing up - it's about owning your space, your opinion, and your style. Whether you're tuning into the latest episode on women in Westminster or quoting Katty's take on imposter syndrome, these pieces are built for that conversation.

Why This Merch Connects to Katty Kay's Message
Katty doesn't just talk about power dynamics - she lives them. In a 2026 episode titled “Women, Power, and the Problem of Likeability,” she pushed back on the idea that ambition and warmth can't coexist. That same spirit runs through the store's women-centric pieces.
- The Rest Is Politics “Confidence Code” Tee ($32, 100% organic cotton) - designed with a subtle typographic nod to Katty's signature phrase “Confidence is a habit.” It's cut for movement, not restriction.
- Katty Kay's “Power Code” Hoodie ($65, recycled polyester-cotton blend) - inspired by her 2026 book launch. The inside tag reads “Own your voice,” a direct callback to her closing remarks at the live London show in February 2026.
These aren't generic slogan tees. The designs reference actual moments from the podcast. For instance, the back of the Power Code hoodie features a minimalist timeline of women in UK politics after 2020 - a visual Katty used during her “History is Hers to Write” segment in March 2026.
What Makes It Stand Out
The collection avoids tired clichés. Instead of “girl power” platitudes, you get pieces that reward close reading. The “Steering the Ship” Tote ($22, heavyweight canvas) quotes Katty's line from the 2026 episode on female MPs: “You don't need permission to take the wheel.”
Also, the merch uses size-inclusive cuts (XS-3XL) and unisex fits, which Katty herself praised on a recent Instagram Live: “Politics shouldn't have a dress code, and neither should your merch.”
