neckbeardy + shirt
The phrase is transparently formed from a base label ('neckbeard') plus the adjective-forming -y and 'shirt', so a learner who knows the slang sense of 'neckbeard' can infer it means a shirt associated with that subcultural/nerd stereotype. However 'neckbeard' itself is informal, culture-specific slang whose sociocultural meaning is not derivable from the literal words 'neck' and 'beard', so the overall meaning is only partially predictable to average B1 learners.
Etymology
Neckbeardy shirt comes from the image of a person with a neckbeard, a small beard on the neck often linked to very devoted fans, wearing a shirt covered in game, comic, or meme pictures. So it is used jokingly to mean 'a shirt associated with nerd culture or fandom'.
