One great thing about being a geek is all of the cool apparel and accessories out there for us. But what does it actually mean to look like a geek?
Keep It Simple
Unfortunately, not all of us can cosplay 24/7/365. But we can add little geeky hints here and there. Etsy is a great place to find geeky jewelry that is handmade and adorable, like this Luna Lovegood glasses ring. You can find an accessory for any fandom on there.
Hone In Your Fandoms
If you’re going to incorporate geek into your look, you should definitely take from your fandoms. If you’re going to look geeky, it might as well be wearing what you love. This is why I have a bunch of Harry Potter shirts in my possession. Show off what you love with pride. You can find ridiculously awesome stuff at Jordandene, which is where the shirt above is from.
Make It Yours
Although it’s fun to layer on the geeky apparently, make sure you’re staying yourself. Don’t let your outfit cloud you and your personality, because I’m pretty sure you’re awesome enough as it is.
Do Whatever You Want
If you want to dress head to toe in geeky attire, do it. If you just want to have little accents, do it. If you don’t want to do any of it, then don’t. A geek isn’t based on where geeky clothes or glasses or anything like that. It’s based on loving something and being passionate about it, not your outward appearance. You just do you!
What is your favorite geeky clothing or accessory? Leave a comment letting me know!
I tend not to go in for the geeky apparel thing so much, but every not and then I allow myself a fun accessory or something. Usually it ends up sparking a conversation or two 🙂
I am definitely into geeky leggings…but that doesn’t really cut it when it comes to work wear so I try to also use jewelry to let my inner nerd out when at the office.
Awesome post! I’ve incorporated it into my life. The best part of your post: do what you want! Nice!
Own it!!
My favourite way to wear my fandoms is definitely jewelry and accessories. I’m especially into geeky brooches at the moment, although earrings are a close second.
