The Girls' Mom Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm wearing a Mickey Mouse tee right now. I'm also hoping to lose weight to get into the WarCraft and RoboCop tees that are in my drawer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 My personal style is more preppy and it would be a bit odd for me to suddenly buy a bunch of graphic T's but someone else the same age wearing one I wouldn't even think twice about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Wear what you like. Wear graphic tees with a tutu and chucks if it makes you happy. Life is too short to not wear clothes that make you smile when you put them on. My hoodie today has an astronaut. I'm happy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I wore my Reunite Pangaea shirt yesterday. I have a whole drawer full, all KonMaried. Granted I am a college student, a 49 year old one, but hey. It's my prerogative if I want to wear a shirt with something on it. I don't care what anyone thinks. I want a Reunite Pangaea shirt!! If I lose enough weight I'm going to start wearing Dh's collection of vintage concert tees. He was a merchandising manager in the late 70's/early80's. He has t's from Genesis, Jethro Tull, AC/DC, Air Supply. My oldest occasional wears his old Led Zeppelin shirts. Her teachers in high school used to go nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSmomof2 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Honestly, I think you can wear graphic tees for forever. Just know that all of my teens' friends think that parents wearing graphic tees is not cool. Any argument is met with shrugs and a general eye roll with a definite subtext of "act your age." Some days, the only thing I do right is not wear a graphic tee. But teens can be so judgmental about so many parental decisions, you might as well wear what you want. This just further fuels my desire to wear them! 😃😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I wore a wrestling t-shirt (HBK) to the store one day. As I was leaving I heard a boy say "Look that mom is wearing an HBK shirt! WOW!". Ds (17 at the time) grinned at me and said "yeah cool mom" :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacharsis Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) ...because I love them. :blush: Give it to me straight. I'm in my early 40's. Am I too old to wear shirts from places like Threadless and Snorg? They are generally paired with a denim skirt, sneakers, and a hoodie if it's cold. Clothing appropriateness is U-shaped; when you are young, wearing whatever is OK because you look good in it and you don't have much to lose. When you are old, wearing whatever is OK because most of the people who would have thought it was inappropriate are dead, and you are likely at a point in life where you are financially secure enough that you don't have to do every little thing to appease people with power and money. It's really only in the middle-ground, where you are just old enough that paying your bills depends on making a good impression, that it becomes an issue. :) Edited September 3, 2016 by Anacharsis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammish Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 This thread is dangerous to my credit card. Who knew Mental Floss had tshirts? I'm seriously tempted by the "Dodgeball: America's Twist on Stoning" shirt. (I'm 37, and I ordered a "Suck It, Trebek" shirt from SnorgTees just a couple of days ago :)) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 My dad was never one to wear graphic tees until he got sick. Then he would wear whatever he had, with a plaid shirt over it. He was buried in his Star Trek t-shirt with a plaid shirt over it. So, yeah, you're never too old. He was 79 and everyone remarked how perfect it was for him. The back of his headstone is engraved with "To boldly go where no one has gone before." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoorsy Type Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I wore my Hogwarts Alumni tee to the grocery store and got some attention from a much too young, very adorable Sixth Year. I wore mine to a movie theater and a young guy started unbuttoning his shirt. I was freaking out until he said "look I'm wearing the same shirt under this button up". 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I don't know, but at some point dh got all serious and *cough* boring ( ;) ) and requested I not buy him any more. I still wear them. I mean my own. But I wear his around the house sometimes, too lol. I guess he doesn't care if I wear them since he bought me one this year (S.T.A.R. Laboratories shirt which is a reference to the Flash and Arrow). But I have also questioned when is "too old"? Doesn't mean I will stop. Quill, I like that! Wait...

Lanny Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 If there is an age limit, I am way past that age. What is the age limit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I don't really think there is a limit for casual dressing. I do think that as someone gets older, what they can get away with in terms of formality can change. So - say for office wear, I've seen someone of 20 get away with a shorter skirt and leggings, graphic t, and cardigan, with the right shoes and accessories, and look quite nice and professional with a slightly funky vibe. Someone older, maybe even in the same position, might not be able to get away with that, and in a more advanced position it would in many jobs seem unprofessional. It's difficult to make a hard and fast line about it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I LIVE in t-shirts and jeans so why not have fun with it?

Emmalm Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 My 66 yr old MIL wears, much to our (especially dh's) chagrin, what we have dubbed "sparkly-butt jeans." DH asked, "what is the point of sparkly-butt jeans, is it so people will look at your butt? Why does my mom want people to look at her butt? She is 66...do people want to look at her butt?" So though they are not my shirt of choice, I'd much rather see her in a tasteful graphic t-shirt than sparkly-butt jeans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 No limit. The only limits on graphic tees are if there are other clothing limits in place. Like, if you work at a lawyer's office and you're the lawyer and about to go into court...then maybe leave the graphic tee at home. :) Other than that...no limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny_Weatherwax Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Considering I am wearing a black tee-shirt with a brain on it today, I hope it's not the early 40's.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm going to wear a new graphic t-shirt today to teach in. It has a big ole brain on it.
