Whether it’s a cool t-shirt based on your favorite TV show or a pair of Nintendo socks that complement your fit, you’re probably a fan of repping the media that has shaped your life in some way. That’s why gaming apparel is more popular than ever, giving fans a way to express themselves with their outfits. There are a wide variety of places to buy such products, but they’re not all created equally. With that in mind, we’ve compiled three sites we think offer the best selection of gaming clothing.
Insert Coin Clothing
Insert Coin Clothing is often considered the cream of the crop for high-quality gaming apparel. Though the site’s prices aren’t always the cheapest around, every product is near-guaranteed to be durable and long-lasting, well beyond anything you’ll find elsewhere. Its collection is diverse and contains some particularly unique options based on specific in-game attire, such as this rad duffle coat worn by Max Caufield in Life is Strange: Double Exposure or Ann Takamaki’s hoodie from Persona 5.
Fangamer
Fangamer is a widely respected site for gaming merch, including a solid collection of t-shirts, outerwear, hats, and more. As with other premium gaming apparel sites, items from Fangamer can be a bit expensive, but the quality materials and excellent customer service ensure you’re getting what you pay for. Most impressive of all is how many products you can find based on lesser-known indie games, such as this visually striking Transistor shirt or this adorable Celeste skirt.
Hot Topic
Most folks are probably most familiar with Hot Topic for its assortment of band tees and smorgasbord of Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise — but it’s actually a fantastic spot to score some gaming apparel, too. From Marvel Rivals-branded pajamas to Bloodborne shirts, there’s a bit of something for everyone. In many cases, it’s a more affordable option, too — though your mileage may vary depending on what it is you’re looking to pick up.
