Why ‘Trying’ Is Overrated (and What to Wear Instead)

“Rise and grind.” “Always be hustling.” “No days off.”
Sound familiar? It’s the exhausting mantra of modern masculinity — one that tells you to try harder, push further, and constantly improve yourself until you're miserable.

We say screw that.

At Dad Bod Streetwear, we believe trying is overrated. And here’s the truth no one’s saying out loud: Most of the guys who look like they’re trying the hardest… are usually the most insecure.

The Power of Not Giving a Damn

Confidence isn’t in the grind. It’s in knowing who you are, wearing what you want, and finding joy in the mess.

A shirt like:

“Certified DILF”

“Bad Decisions Make Great Stories”

“Triggered”

…doesn’t pretend. It doesn’t flex. It just is — funny, bold, real. And that’s why it works.

Wear What Works, Not What Impresses

Our tees are built for comfort and designed to make a point. You don’t have to dress like you’re auditioning for a cologne commercial. You don’t need skinny jeans that cut off circulation.

You need a shirt that makes you laugh, fits your real body, and doesn’t care who’s judging.

Because the truth is, you don’t need to try — you just need to show up.
