Band T-shirts when is too old?

[honeylou42]

Nearly 50 and plus size quit like the look of T-shirt with blazer for a night out, but don't want to look daft

Never ever too old. My MIL is approaching 70 and you can try and take her Fleetwood Mac and Rammstein T-shirts but you won’t get far. She’s fabulous. Kids call her Nanny Rocks

I'm.42 and on my last night out I wore a.nirvana t shirt and bright pink shorts. Sod it. You do you

Is it fits your image, absolutely go for it. Nothing worse than some preteen wearing a Nirvana tshirt bought from primark with no actual clue of who they are.

I don't be in age limits for things like this! Just dress as yourself, be you and be confident about it

I MASSIVELY regret not buying band T-shirts back in the day. I wish I had them. Went to see Pulp last month and bought a shopping bag instead 😂

Depends on the band 😀

Seriously though, I'm 50 and will be wearing a Sonic Youth t-shirt out next weekend (and may wear a black suit jacket with it, if that's what you mean by blazer?)

@ColonelRhubarbBikini I love this!! I’ll be wearing all 12 of my Rammstein T-shirts till I’m dead and buried 🤘🏻🔥

Depends on the band TBH.

It’s not my thing at all BUT if it’s yours - and you love the band - I think you’re never too old.

I wore a black dolly parton t-shirt and blazer last week!! The nirvana/guns n roses/pink Floyd are ten a penny now!

Never too old. Even if you just like the design, rather than the music IMO — unpopular opinion, I know! 😆

I was no way able to afford real band t-shirts back in the day. I had to scrape together the money to buy the tickets let alone any merch!

No, no, no, no, no. The only excuse for this is if you are 13.

I’m 56. I’ll let you know when I get to “too old” for anything.

I dont remember merch being as expensive and there were always loads of people selling knock off T-shirts outside at the end of a gig . Mind you, I would pay £10 to see a band at a 3000 venue place and arenas were £20. All my Saturday job money went on gigs and CDs. I can’t see a Saturday job paying for that anymore.

Controversial I know, but I only think they cute on children. After teen years not so much.

It depends, not on your age, but on your general style and look. The same t-shirt could look great or -try-hard, it would depend on what else you were wearing and whether you genuinely like the tee and feel it’s “you”.

(im also a purist and think it’s better if it’s a band you actually love, not one you’ve never listened to or heard of, but i recognise that’s a bit uptight)

I get bored with plain tops and like the idea of graphic t-shirts but I can’t seem to feel “right” in them, so I’m still experimenting with it. But there’s definitely no “too old”.

Nothing worse than some preteen wearing a Nirvana tshirt bought from primark with no actual clue of who they are.

haha this is my 13yo DD. When she does this I just play her the music and she usually gets into it!

It’s a really common combination, amazed you’ve never noticed it.

Kate Moss seems to like the look.

Ageless - bonus points if you've owned the t-shirt for donkey's years. I wear them aged nearly 50 and so does my husband in his 60s - he wears band hoodies too.

I love them but I’ve stopped wearing them because it seems to invite people (ie men) to try and start conversations with you about the band. It drives me crazy.

I'm 54 and wear them all the time! Bands I like obviously but I don't think you're ever too old!

Never too old! Especially if you saw the band live and in their heyday. My MIL saw Elvis in Las Vegas, travelled widely and has some brilliant stories which a Elvis t shirt is the catalyst for.

@Xrays on no....people wanting to chat about a shared interest. How shocking 😂🙄

Never too old to rock a band t shirt. 🎶🎵🎸
