Vintage T's: Comfy Dress-Downs or Fashion Faux Passe?

As someone who takes great care in picking out her outfits by mixing and matching styles, I'm not the biggest fan of Vintage T's. They're usually worn with jeans and sneakers, and yeah, not a big fan of that, either.

There are some that are cute when worn with a skirt, trendy shorts, or maybe even a vest, but in general they're about as exciting as toenail clippings. See exhibit A:

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. They've got vintage-style T's for practically every hobby, culture, brand, fanbase, and country. Team Edward and Team Jacob shirts are flying off the shelves at various online stores as we speak!

And yes, there are even shirts for Bingo lovers. I've never played Bingo and I'm not sure I ever will below the age of 50 (or possibly 60), but I find myself wondering when you might actually wear these shirts. Would you wear them to the actual Bingo game? I mean, I'm assuming it's the same as going to a Poker game wearing an "I LOVE POKER" t-shirt, and that doesn't seem too feasible to me.

Bingo Fashion is perhaps not the most exciting trend to hit the vintage T aisle, and I doubt it will be the last. Still, with shirts of every kind sprouting out from everyone with MS Paint and a cafepress store, I guess it means that there's a huge market for stuff like this.

What do my fashion-loving readers think? Do you wear vintage T's? And if so, what do you pair it with?

aww, I do like vintage t's but mostly because I am pretty casual for the most part except when going out, or at work...

angel - Heh, my casual outfits tend to be a tank top and a skirt, or just a simple shirt dress. I do like vintage T's when worn with ripped jeans or ruffled skirts! :D

We play bingo at work ;-)

I love teeshirt. I have tons of them, although nicer than these one. I love old bands' teeshirts and funny pop art designs.

Zhu- Seriously? Haha, sounds fun! :D

Yes, I definitely think pop art designs would be far cooler than Elmer's Glue designs, haha. :D
