The way I see getting older is that we can either fight it or embrace it, and I’m more of an embrace it type person. But then I also think that getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop doing the things you enjoy or wearing the things that you want to wear. This idea that we should ‘grow up’ and give up certain hobbies or stop dressing in certain ways makes me quite sad, because why should we stop having fun just because we’re not so young anymore!
If you have the same sort of attitude, aren’t planning on giving up your t-shirts and hoodies any time soon, and have a sense of humour about getting older then I think you’ll love these 5 tees from Geeksoutfit. You just might need to explain one or two of them to your kids who won’t necessarily get all the 80s and 90s references!
Rotary Dial T-shirt
This one really is for the older millenials and Gen Xers who remember having one of these rotary dial phones at home, or at least remember their grandparents having one. It’s not quite a geek t shirt but more of a nod to the technology that lots of us grew up with that kids today just won’t recognise at all!
“I’m this old” T-shirt
How many of these old bits of tech would your children recognise?! I think the floppy disk might look familiar to mine, but only as the ‘save’ icon!
I love the style of the pictures and font on this one, as well as the fact that it’s just quite a fun geek shirt to show your sense of humour about getting older.
“We had nine planets” T-shirt
Oh, poor Pluto! There’s not much that’ll make you feel your age than realising how long it’s been since Pluto had its planet status taken away!
I do love this tee though, especially in this gorgeous shade of red. If that’s not your colour you can also get it in black, navy, army green, and green.
Commodore 64 T-shirt
There must be a joke here about if the Commodore 64 was your first computer then your knees hurt every time you get up. Or something like that.
All I know for sure is that Treasure Island was a brilliant game and you can’t convince me otherwise!
“I am older than the internet” T-shirt
Now this one may well blow your kids’ minds because if you’ve only ever known a world where the internet exists it’s pretty hard to imagine living in a time without it!
So if you’re weirdly proud of the fact that you were born in the before times then this could be the tee for you.
So there you have it. My top picks for tees that’ll tell the world that you’re getting older and are absolutely fine with it! And there are even more to choose from with Geeksoutfit, along with a great range of nerd t shirts and even star wars Christmas pajamas that are perfect if you have a geeky side that you want to share with the world too.
