So I have a ecommerce website, which contain a lot of internal link. However, the anchor text for each product category feel duplicate to me. Example: I have parent categories are Men and Women, sub category for both is T-shirt, so they have the same anchor text and link to 2 differents categories.

Do I need to add Aria Label and Title for the link to discribe more detail about the link, as I study about another big website they don't often do it.
 
It's can help differentiate internal links with the same anchor text, like “T-shirt” for both men's and women's categories. Won't directly impact SEO, but they improve accessibility for screen readers (aria-label) and provide additional hover-text information (title). User experience will only improve.
 
Aria labels and title attributes can help with accessibility, but for SEO purposes, they're not typically necessary for internal links, especially if your anchors are already descriptive enough.
 
you're very less likely to go wrong with internal links anchors, don't worry about duplicates,
as long as the anchors are not missleading and the pages titles & other on-page is on point, you're good to go,
these are navigational links and it's the case for many websites which never caused a problem in similar cases
 
Yes, you can use the same anchor text for different categories, but adding ARIA labels and titles can help improve accessibility and give more context to users, especially for screen readers. However, it’s not always necessary unless you feel it's confusing for your visitors. Many big websites don’t use these labels because their navigation is clear. Focus on clarity for users, and if your categories are well-organized, you may not need extra labels.
 
Thanks for reply guys.
 
Aria label use it to provide a clear, descriptive label for screen readers While title add supplementary in formation that appear as a tooltip.
