Geek Chic! The art of taking stereotypically and historically ‘uncool’ clothing and culture and making it hip. Embrace your glasses, your brains, your pocket protectors and your {not so} secret love of comic books and get your geek on {hint: more Jarvis Cocker, less Erkil}.

The playlist… five songs to help you get your geeky groove on…
- Through Being Cool by Devo
- Star Trekkin’ by The Firm
- She Blinded me with Science by Thomas Dolby
- Mr. Roboto by Styx
- Doctorin’ the Tardis by The Timelords

Now that you’re all set with your geeky toys, tees and accessories… I’d thought I’d finish off today’s post with two of my favourite geeky art prints. To the left we have the “I love nerds” print by dear kiki, how could you not love nerds when they looks this darned adorable? To the right we have the “Trekkie Nerd” by Lauren Gregg, proof that Trekkies can indeed be foxy! Display them proudly in your home!

I Heart nerds too!! Love love love the Einstein tee
Lol Rebecca, I love the fact that nerds have made a comeback and broken into the fashion scene… they used to be “anti” fashion
Thanks for the shout out! Just to extend my geek credentials, I do of course own a copy of “Star Trekkin”…on vinyl, naturally!
