Promising review: "This T-shirt gets a lot of compliments. It fits great. A problem I run into with T-shirts is that sometimes the shoulders fit small because mine are broad. But this is a shirt that ticks the right boxes. Fit, material, color — love it." —Sweet Lamb

Promising review: "People say it runs larger, but I guess that's a lot of variables. I ordered large and was expecting a looser fit. It really hugs the upper body. Fits in a way that's good though. I wouldn't stray away from your actual size especially if you have a more muscular build, broader shoulder, or thinner." —Joshua

Get it from Amazon for $13.31+ (available in men's sizes XS–5XL and four colors).

16. A hoodie inspired by The Last of Us for anyone who knows it is so much more than a hit HBO show and has been familiar with the incredible storyline since the game originally came out in 2013.

Laura Bailey — you're a queen. If you want even more Dungeons and Dragons in your life, you might want to consider watching The Legend of Vox Machina animated series on Amazon Prime! It's based on the Critical Role squad's first campaign. I've watched the whole thing and promise you won't be disappointed.

He loves this shirt and wears it all the time! It's a super cute but still 'cool' design, and it's in black, the best (and only, in my opinion lol) T-shirt color! Love love love it!

Promising review: "It’s actually SUPER comfortable. It’s made of a thick enough material to keep you warm in the winter (Cincinnati winter, at least), minus the bulk of a normal winter coat — AND gives you the Hero of Time look while doing so.

Promising review: "This shirt is the perfect thing to refill the void in your heart. From the instant you wiggle your neck into the shirt hole, your enemies will fall to their knees for mercy. You can pretty much use this shirt as a legal hall pass to fight others to save princesses, throw shells/bananas out of your moving vehicle, and roam the globe, sword and shield in hand, busting into homes and breaking vases. 10/10 would blow dust from cartridge." —Stephen P.

Get it from Amazon for $13.69+ (available in men's sizes S–5XL and seven styles).

Psst: This is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

31. Piranha plant slippers you'll get *so* many compliments on when your pals come over to play Super Mario Odyssey, especially since they double as a plush toy when you're not wearing them.
