These shirts go HARD, yo.
Ironic fashion, funny t-shirts and stupid clothes are all over the place these days. In some ways wearing intentionally bad clothing is a pretty dumb trend, but it might also hold the key to showing others that fashion doesn’t need to take itself too seriously.
TBH I’m just looking for an excuse to wear anime and gaming merch under the guise of fashion.
Massive thanks to Frugal Aesthetic for the cameo! Check out his ironic fashion video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fi_q4zkX0M

You just blew my mind. "Post-irony" is basically my fashion all along (or at least a big part of it).
I have a tee which is a collab between a local streetwear designer and KFC.
I have a tee which kinda mimics the popular Palm Angels tee, except it says "vaccinated" on the back. And my country's name on the front for some reason.
I have an undercover tee which is an illustration of a bat in Chinese brush painting style. Released in 2020.
I don't actually have "grassroots" ironic stuff unfortunately.
Goat Crew does a lot of post-irony designs. Not long ago they did a capybara "ok I pull up" t shirt that ngl goes pretty hard.
I call it flea market chic
2000s gaming promo tshirts is my niche rn
I wear a Dragon Tales sweatshirt in public, only partially ironically. Dragon Tales was fire, but also definitely a children's show
Shout out to Mega 64 for the Death is Certain shirt
The best thing about this trend is how incredibly accessible it is. Go to any thrift store and you'll find so many dumb shirts. I've seen people style a random vintage physical therapy company tee and it actually worked super well.
He actually got Mr Frugal Aesthetic in the video 👀
I actually liked the wizard island tee without being ironic 🥲
My “I reject your reality and substitute my own” mythbusters shirt comes to mind.
Here I was just rocking a Yu-Gi-Oh shirt and a black/red Hardee's uniform shirt for years not ironically 😂
Surprise FrugalAesthetic cameo hecc yea
Touching on irony in fashion is hard, but this vid did it very well! Overall Ant made something meant to be alienating more inclusive and disarmed it. Tell me more about the knight shoes on that one picture!
I've just been calling it Shitpost Fashion for a while now, and just kind of always been doing it. As a fairly young-looking woman, my longtime favorite shirt I own has a slick chromed font that says, "#1 Grandpa".
anyone else pause for the memes? also….walking up Snowdon was not fun!
You, Frugal Aesthetic, Reggie Casual and Bliss Foster are my number 1 go-to's for genuine fashion commentary!
How could you not mention the goat Greggs x Primark collab
I revel in finding this stupid shit. Super-markets are a gold-mine for these. Absolute favourite is a T with a T-rex, busting out the wall, shutter shades on, shouting "Where's the partay"
Also, embrace the stash. No I shaved yesterday or two days ago goate.
Stash.
Embrace it.
Kikillo Pieces got some great shirts that go hard, their "Hard Times Hard Techno" shirt is a banger
The Better call my lawyer t shirt goes real hard
Does ironic techwear exist?
What are you talking about? 'Just Don't' is actually funny!
Late 1970s Permaprints cringe comedy tees ("I'm with stupid", "Join the Army, see interesting places, meet interesting people… and kill them", cartoons of a short-sighted tortoise humping an army helmet) bled into the nascent UK punk scene for people who couldn't afford Seditionaries. That was before postmodernism became a thing. It's always been a blurred world.
Unexpected crossover episode
Post-ironic clothing feels like the fashion world embracing guilty pleasures in a way that other art forms already have, movies, TV, and food especially. Sometimes stupid stuff makes us happy, but we all enjoy our own flavour of stupidity.
Where did you get your chain? I love it

Cool shirtz!
for a few years now one of my favorite tees just says “what if the hokey pokey is what it’s really all about?” lol
coolshirts has some really solid shit
I found a McDonald's uniform shirt in the thrift shop and instead of being a YouTube dipshit I didn't walk into McDonald's for a prank but I crochet McDonald's socks, matched a red cap and trousers and went to a party, got hammered, woke up with vomit on my shirt, not sure if it was mine or someone else's. Worst and best decision
really nice video Antonio
Il be honest, its a waste of money, i think we can all agree on that. That being said it is very funny and i understand why people do it.
I personally have a t-shirt in size xxxl with the saying on the front "i don't need google my wife knows everything" with the old google font. I love it and it always makes someone laugh, i believe its funny at face value for most people but there's a deeper joke to it. The joke is that because i bought it from a charity shop, its xxxl, and its about 15 years old means someone out there in the early 2000 actually wore this t-shirt un ironicly and i love it for that.
Im going to get out my Ramones shirt aigain… because only real fans wear these right?
I was given a Minecraft logo tee back in 2012 that I use pretty often compared to when I got it. My personal favorite is my Garfield Evangelion tee that I got on red bubble. Great vid as always alpaca!
