The Geek Chic Look

Now I know I haven’t updated my fashion section in awhile guys due to prior engagements with my other job… and partying in Wet Willies down on South Beach With Ludacris for My 21^st birthday!!

On a more serious note...while I was down there I got a lot of compliments on the fashion statement that I personally have been pushing myself, and I also see a lot of people picking up themselves. In Hollywood (such as the guy who made himself look bad at the MTV

awards- Kanye West, Andre 300 - who does it the best, Pharrell - kinda started it, and also Johnny Depp)… the Geek Chic look.

OK, nerds and geeks alike, today I’m going to cover a new fashion trend that I am a really big fan of. Like I mentioned before, and this fall will have a big impact on a lot of people. It’s a old still from the 1800’s, came back in the 60’s ,and now is back again and coming on strong.

Now ladies and gentlemen, when I say the word 'Geek' in the fashion world I don’t mean 'geek' in the traditional sense of the word.--you know the traditional stereotype of someone with no sense of style or coordination what-so-ever. The 'Geek Chic ' look focuses more on dressing up in waist coats, slick formal shirts, plaid coats, and chunky knitwear. Add 'Geek' Fashion accessories to give you a more modern laid back professional look.

This is a nod to the geek within you (but not a thumbs up or a cheesy smile like how geeks tend to do ). I strongly recommend when using this look (which I know a lot of you are because I personally have already jumped on board) to add large rim glasses , a bow tie, a striped tie, suspenders, a flat cap, or if you're more street and bold enough,-- fitted cap. I  recommend for you to start wearing this look with a graphic Tee and a pair of suspenders to match your shoes and a fedora. Don't forget the glasses!

If it's a little more chilly, wear a knit shirt with a plain shirt underneath , a flat cap or a fitted cap and again..your glasses! You can also wear this look with the skinny leg jeans article that I mentioned a few weeks ago.

I have a few examples below to get your imagination started. Have fun with it and remember if you're going to do it do it big!!
