There is something so special about seeing your favourite gaming franchise jump into your everyday life through what you put on your body. Many brands have begun to capitalise on this obsession, and it is easy to see why as a recent report by PWC predicted that Australians spending within gaming will exceed 5 billion dollars by 2025.
It’s definitely exciting news for the fashion-forward gamers and the ladies of Quest Daily are thrilled to showcase their favorite gaming-inspired apparel.
Get ready to be inspired!

Toss me a coin and I’ll tell you a story of a girl who dreamed of adorning herself in the finest geekery she could find. Enter Blackmilk Clothing, with their array of sensational styles suitable for most shapes and sizes, they are now maximising the passion that women have for geeky fashion. Suitable for a quest to the market or attending a sumptuous banquet, this robe will have you catching the eye of any Witcher fan out there. I personally like its subtle nod to the IP and its layering capabilities are exceptional, the potential for levelling up any outfit is endless with this addition to your wardrobe.

And if you’re team green, look no further that the Xbox Gear Store! Overflowing with Xbox goodness, this is my one stop shop for the majority of my Xbox apparel. One item I consistently get compliments on or asked about is my Xbox Icon Collection Hoodie. It’s honestly the perfect piece to throw on and get comfy for a long gaming session, or easily transitioned to running errands or out for a stroll.

You’ll never work a day in your life if you love your office-wear – or at least, I’m pretty sure that’s how the saying goes. I have never gone without getting a compliment when wearing this incredible Super Mario blazer from Opposuits. It’s a shame they haven’t made a matching women’s skirt or suit pants, but the blazer pairs nicely with any black business skirt regardless. Sending important emails and saving princesses are all in a day’s work when you rock this piece.

Now I love a good gaming-related graphic tee, but a gaming-related dress!? You have me sold. Blackmilk Clothing x The Legend of Zelda collaboration is an absolute dream for any fan of the franchise. The one thing Blackmilk excels at is creating geekery threads that can be worn for any occasion, this beautiful, velvet Majora’s Mask dress has been with me on nights out, celebrating with friends and the occasional dinner. It’s also a conversation starter with other players and fans of Zelda, which I love because who doesn’t love talking about gaming!?
Roll for super sick threads, TeeTurtle has you covered with their graphic gaming shirts! My favourite from TeeTurtle is the ‘A Dragon Appears’ shirt which is my go-to outfit for D&D sessions. Not to jinx it but I strongly believe the shirt helps me roll better (me? dice superstitious? – no way!).

This chunky knit sweater from Cool Shirtz is the ultimate winter fave! This sweater isn’t collab-specific but I just had to shout it out because the art has me daydreaming about adventuring through the halls of an epic, though definitely haunted, castle in a retro game.

The material is quite heavyweight so it’s like having a wearable weighted blanket that’s also incredibly soft. I was blown away by the quality of the piece and as the product description details, I can confirm it IS comfy as heck. This one sells out quickly so get in quick when they restock!
I obviously have a thing for chunky knits because this Starfield beanie is out of this world! Bought straight from the Bethesda Gear store, you are promised pure quality. I love a good beanie, in fact, I may or may not have a particularly large collection of beanies. They’re a super casual way to rep your favourite games and I almost always complete my outfit with one!
