How To Be A GEEK Chic

     Gone were the days when being a geek is a major bummer.  Now, it is a fashion alternative for some of us wanting to have an edgy and unique look.  Being a nerd isn't boring anymore, it has become cool!

Wasn't Superman a geek chic too?

     The family have been spotted sporting this look at one point or another.  Go check...

(L-R) Jeb, Hannah and myself.  GEEKS!

      So, just what do you need to become a sleek geek?

     I've checked on google and have listed down my favorite guidelines on how to become a sexy nerd.  Well, for guys anyway.  Girls, go make your own guide.  LOL!

• The first and most important:  Get a stylish horn-rimmed glasses.  Make sure it fits and it compliments the shape of your face.

• Long sleeved shirts are cool for this look.  They can be on their own or you can layer them with vests, cardigans or jackets.  Fold them too if you want and make sure they are nicely fitted to your body type.  Just pick colors that's suited to your tone and if you can carry it fine, you can go for the patterned ones.  Me, I personally prefer plaids.  White shirts are also top on my list, just layer them as well with cardigans, jackets or a scarf. 

Some Hollywood celebs are sporting this look too!

• Slim fitted pants with narrow legs are good but stay away from them if you are overweight and just simply use regular fitted ones. Corduroy has long been categorized for this look so they too are a nice option.

• For shoes, one can never go wrong with Converse trainers. It looks good with any pair of jeans.

• Accessorize! Time is very important for geeks, so you definitely need to have a watch.  Bags too!  Go for shoulder strap messenger bags.  Other accessories you may use are bow ties, belts and badges...

     Of course you can always customize, just remember that the aim is to be a sexy geek, not a real nerd.  The goal is to look bookish and smart but cute and fashionably edgy.  Take note of the 3 pillars of geekdom: layering, slim silhouette and the appropriate accessories.

     Oh, and don't forget a decent haircut.
