What to Wear With Dinosaur T-Shirts?

· Fashion, Menswear, Style tips, Womenswear

Dino-Galore for Us

As a mom of three boys, we have dinosaurs everywhere; dinosaur t-shirts, dinosaur pyjamas, dinosaur toys, dinosaur stickers, and dinosaur costumes. Indeed! Dino-galore for us! Kids I guess have a love affair with this mega creature that man never really met face to face, alive at least….nor do we want to because we wouldn’t remain ALIVE for very long to talk about it…Instead we’d be a yummy snack for some of these animals. But we still love them! 



Adults in Dinosaur Shirts?!?

As adults, we might feel a little childish wearing dinosaur t-shirts? While we may be as cute as Beckham’s kid in them, it doesn’t mean we can’t be fashionable wearing them? At least that’s what one new company based out of Portland, Oregon thinks of their awesome dinosaur t-shirts…and I think so too. Fossilized Fashion fun t-shirt designs for the dino in you and if you can’t find the stegosaurus in the colour you covet, fear not as they’re always adding new designs.

Yeah Why Not?

Perhaps it’s Abed Nadir from Herstory of Dance played by Danny Pudi that made Adult-wearing Dinosaur t-shirts cool? He’s worn a variety of nerdy-cool ones and a few were dinosaur t-shirts.

Or was it Michelle Pfeiffer in One Fine Day who thought it as so cool that she ripped the dinosaur t-shirt straight off from Ben Savage’s character Corey Matthews from Boy Meets World?

In any case, the question remains is what to wear with dinosaur t-shirts that will make YOU look cool and the envy of the street style photo taking hipsters out there? If you were to follow my son’s advice, you’d wear your dinosaur shirt with your pants inside out. Again while that’s totally cute for a toddler trying to put his pants back on after he’d gone to the bathroom, I can’t say you’d get the same awwws and ooohhhs he would get.

Dinosaur T-Shirts for the Ladies

So here’s my rendition of what to wear with dinosaur t-shirts. Wear them with boyfriend jeans and heels. Can’t go wrong with that.

Or if you want a little more edge and a full on nature feel, pair this Fossilized Fashion dinosaur t-shirt with Army-inspired, nature-inflected designs, Preloved pants from their Scouts Honour collection, embracing camping comfort without sacrificing style. Add these unique reptile-feel bangles and bracelets from Shagreen Accessories to amplify your look, and voilà! Watch the iPhone cameras on the streets holding you back for a snap of your ever so cool outfit.

For the men, a relaxed look is best combined with your fave dinosaur t-shirts. Try these Thread 4 Thought burnout sweats with a pair of Sperry Canvas boat shoes and army-inspired bomber jacket from Gap.

Dinosaur t-shirts are very cute and can easily be included in your daily looks, for men or women.

      Thanks for stopping by! Boys LOVE dinos! Mine definitely do. In fact the shirt in the photo of my rendition of a dinosaur t-shirt outfit is stolen from him. I was even thinking at one point getting him dinosaur wall decals for his room to go along with his dinosaur pjs and toys. Might do that for the playroom though! Here’s an idea lol

    Well I have no fashion sense whatsoever so this may come in really handy for me over the coming months lol! Thanks for sharing! I’m wondering what to wear with Dog t-shirts…we have a puppy and love wearing t-shorts with pugs on!

      Thanks for coming by 🙂
      I’m always here for fashion advice and style tips. Dog t-shirts, I’d combine with leggings if the shirt is a little below the hips and some flat boots with maybe hair to the side and bangles. It would look so cute together on when you are walking your dog and looking super stylish. If the t-shirt is short, your option to leggings would be fitted joggers to give that relaxed chic effortless look.

    Yeah, who says grown ups can’t wear dinosaurs? They’re not dinosaur themed, but I fit into my 11 year old’s t-shirts and I borrow them all the time.

    I didn’t even notice she was wearing a dinosaur shirt in One Fine Day. It’s juvenile but she did pull it off. I’d like a cute dinosaur, not a mean one, on my shirt.

    • The Wardrobe Stylist says

      Yes for sure, a funky one always does the trick. I find they always manage to do some cool characters with dinos. The ones on Nadir’s shirt look pretty chill lol. Thanks for coming by!!

    • The Wardrobe Stylist says

    My toddler has just gotten into dinosaurs , ( she loves the one on toy story) so I think if I word a dinosaur t-shirt she would be over the moon , although she would probably want a one for herself too x

    • The Wardrobe Stylist says

      You should get a matching pair, take photos and post them, it would certainly cause a fashionable roar!! I would love to have one and get the same one for my boys, snap photos and plaster them on Instagram, I think it would be so cute!!. Thanks so much for dropping by!!

    I love the green dinosaur t-shirt with the black. It is an awesome color and the whole outfit would be something I would wear. It is so cute. I will have to check these t-shirts out for sure.
