I am a fairly outward person when it comes to my love of video games. Besides writing a blog about them, I oftentimes bring up gaming in day-to-day conversation with anyone willing to listen; video game fan or otherwise. I also like to wear video game shirts. Once upon a time, the thought of outwardly showing my nerdiness through a gaming t-shirt horrified me. Over the years though, as gaming has become more socially acceptable and I’ve become more comfortable in my own skin, I’ve taken to purchasing and wearing video game shirts in public with pride.
As much as I enjoy gaming shirts, I have extremely specific taste. There are shirts that I will pay stupid amounts to have while there are many other shirts that I feel personally offended by just by looking at them. When I wear a gaming shirt, I want to convey a very specific message to certain people, which many shirts don’t do. I’m no fashionista when it comes to…well, anything, but I thought I’d share my perspective on gaming shirts anyway. Maybe you’ll agree with my gaming fashion do’s and don’ts, maybe you won’t. In any case, I’d love to hear your gaming fashion tips in the comments.
