Wear the trend: Geek Chic

Advertisement
Book worms can rejoice. Just when you thought fashion wasn't intended for you or your comic-loving ways, designers like DSquared2 and Sabyasachi embraced the top knot and studious looking glasses. Back benchers, don't dismiss this micro-trend - it's not about actually forgetting to match your socks, it's about being preppy with an individualistic streak. Vogue.in teaches you how to pull off geek chic - day and night.

Geek by day: Before you get started on this trend, think back to American sitcom, Big Bang Theory. Sure, the cast there knows a thing or two about physics and astronomy, but they know even more about putting together checkered trousers, trainers and super-hero t-shirts. Girly girls can opt for dresses with a pair of brogues and oversized glasses to update a simple look. For the more fashion conscious, we love the cotton suspender chinos by J. Crew. Wear it with a sheer top and Pop-Att's floral headpiece.

Geek by night: For night, you need an accessory splurge - think glasses, high heels and statement necklaces. Get into the party mood by showing some leg in shorts and for the fashion adventurous, a bow tie could add more personality to your look.  We love the leopard print glasses by Cutler & Gross to add party animal appeal.
