Fashion has taken a new twist this year as many of our fave celebs are dressing like NERDS!! Who would have thought the group of people that were the bottom of the social chain branded as science geeks and comic book freaks would be top of the class in the latest fashion craze?! Geek Chic has taken the world by storm even our fave celebs are brave enough to show the world they're Geeks and Proud!
Celebs such as Kanye West, Jay Z, John Legend and even the Nerd of all time America Ferrera aka Ugly Betty have rocked out the Nerd look and man do they look HOT! So what does this mean? Has fashion evolved to make geeks cool? I feel that the way fashion has progressed over the years it is easy to see that geek chic is definitely the best thing to hit the scene. The stereotypical view of how hanging around with geeks is "social suicide" has now changed and they have hit the fashion scene with a BANG!
The best way to go about this look is to get the perfect pair of glasses; people who insist on cutting out the lens from 3d glasses... DON'T DO IT! You can find a cheap pair from Primark for £2 or a really good pair for about £12 from Topman; brick lane and even Urban outfitters have a range of different types of glasses! Also Odeon charge you for the glasses now, therefore with this recession and credit crunch you got to save your dollars people! =) Usually the glasses will set off any outfit but if you want to go all out then here's a few tips as on how to achieve the best look:
Once you have your glasses, invest in a jumper vest or a cardigan and as clashing is very in all year around remember to clash! Prints with bright colors will work great as well as prints over prints add emphasis to the outfits i.e strips and hearts or ditsy flower prints and monochrome/metallic.
Next you need to invest in some oxford shoes... Yes that's right brogues are in yet again and will look amazing if you want to achieve the geek chic look. But they'll look just as HOT with some high waisted or tapered leg trousers with a plain top and a boyfriend blazer. Which means you can get the best of both! Tapered leg trousers with white socks will add to the "geekyness" of your look. However the trousers without the socks will give you a smart look if worn with statement heels, a lace body, minimal jewelery and a statement clutch!
Adding little bits like a bow tie (which clashes of course) along with duck tape around the glasses will set off the geek look as well as a satchel for all your belongings! And remember girls, pigtails with a quiff will set the outfit off & Guys just gel/wax your hair with a slight parting... Your Swagger will be on POINT!! ;)
I feel this is the best revolution to happen in fashion, I mean who would have thought all those years of being ridiculed at school will make Geeks the fashion icons of the year?!
NERDS & GEEKS YOU ROCK!!!!
