Nerd Costume Ideas for Men
Drip Nerdy Casualness with Look 1
For the nerd look to be stereotypically complete, it has to have nerd glasses (the colorful ones will add a likable pop to your nerd look) and argyle print. Bring out the nerd in you by teaming up your shorts with a white shirt and striped sweater and uh-uh, don't miss the look-locking canvas shoes. And yes! The messenger bag as well that comes with good hardware and a vintage feel.
Amp Up Your Nerdy Mojo with Look 2
Complement your nerd rags with a bow tie, and not just any bow tie but the one that has a look-able interplay of colors and textures. Look two is inspired from the traditional nerd―the one who props his trousers with suspenders and prefers his garbs layered. The vest is another essential for the emerging smart nerd.
Transmute into a Babe Magnet with Look 3
Look three gravitates towards the chic geek who is fashionably venturesome and ridiculously irresistible. Morph from a nerd boy to a man who knows how to enmesh style with business, and meld charisma with a certain old charm. A nice wool blend plaid jacket looks sensuously far-out with a tantalizingly contrast bow tie. Cut the perfect nerd figure with Wellington glasses and suede Oxford shoes.
Turn into a Nerd Simpatico with Look 4
He is your archetypal nerd boy next door, but with a consolidated awareness of his nerdy appeal. He is bursting with the casual nerd personality in that checks shirt and jeans. The bow tie enmeshes the nerdy with chivalry, and throws the nerd into sharp relief. Don't slip up on the footwear; you can either integrate a neutral color or elect one that will playfully banter with your cardigan's or shirt's color.
Last advice: Never skimp on accessories, be that a vintage wrist watch, a briefcase, or eye glasses. Make stylishly sage investments that will carry you through many decades. Till then, cheerio and be all nerd and dandy.
