I don't wear shirts with giant graphics on the front, but I sure do wear Disney gear at 46!

Thanks everyone. I think next time I'm wearing Disney stuff and I get a look or comment I'll tell them to stop being Grumpy and be Happy :mickey:

I just saw this thread!

It's not about what's on it (as long as it's not vulgar nor threatening), but the style. I tend to wear dress pants/chinos with button down shirts to work. Occasionally i'll throw on a sweatshirt in the fall or early spring. So, I rarely wear t-shirts. Sometimes I wear a polo.

Now, half of my polo's are WDW polos. From resorts or the golf pro-shops. I often wear "crazy" socks, and I bought more than a few Disney ones.

My point being, as someone else said, it depends on the dress code. I'm 45 and work at a university library. My wife is 45, and is a surgeon. She will wear some of the more "classy" Disney stuff, especially around the holidays. She often wears Disney jewelry. When operating, she'll wear Disney scrub caps (and she has made Disney scrub caps for the entire OR staff, so they wear them, too.)

I will wear my classier Disney clothes to work, no problem. It's not about what's on the clothes, nor your age. It's about the style of clothes, and its appropriateness in your workplace.

I'm 55 and work in an office environment, but still wear my Disney "Hawaiian" shirts whenever possible. It's tough to find them anymore, but I try to pick one (reasonably priced, not these Tommy Bahama $150 jobs, that don't have much, if any, "Disney" to them) up on each trip. Sweatshirts and T's are frowned upon in the office.

T's are for working outside in the yard, so I don't buy them. Disney themed sweatshirts I do wear, but not in the office.

There is a time and a place for everything, but AGE is NOT a consideration. You are never too old to be a kid and enjoy Disney, in any respect.
