The nerd style inspires one to think outside the box to dress well. Wear original nerdy pieces to let the clothes reflect your personality and uniqueness.

SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE LOOK

One should make sure to have pretty good ideas about what to wear. Images can be printed out from the internet and get inspired to come up with a beautiful and fashionable nerdy outfit. Always look for authentic and comfortable ideas to make a good impression.

GO THROUGH THE CLOSET

Look through the closet to see if anything qualifies as geeky or nerdy. Consider the existing clothes in the closet that can be altered to fit new styles, as they could end up being your favorite pieces. For example, a Marvel T-shirt is somewhat geeky but when it’s compared with a plain skirt or plaid shorts. 

  • TOPS: If the top has several buttons, button them into the wrong buttonholes and wear an anime T-shirt underneath. 
  • PANTS: Try to wear a large button shirt with high-waist shorts. A pair of suspenders can be paired with the pants to get a perfect nerdy look. For example, one can wear yellow suspenders over a red shirt. This contributes to the nerdy look. Brown and grey are also good fabric choices for nerdy pants, as they will create a perfect retro look. 
  • SKIRTS: Many girls enjoy wearing a skirt or a nice dress that meshes well with the nerd style. The mini skirt often looks like something straight out from a superhero movie. If a girl is confident and comfortable with a revealing dress, she can go with a mini skirt which will perfectly give a nerdy or quirky look that will definitely grab the attention of others. For example, a plaid skirt is a good example of a nerdy look. 
  • TIES: Normal ties or bow ties go well with a nerdy look. 
  • SOCKS: Dressing like a nerd means socks are an afterthought rather than a fashion element, so grab a pair of old, regular tube socks and pull them all the way up. 
  • SHOES: Cool and cute shoes can go easily with nerdy dresses. The footwear must be durable and affordable that looks stylish and feels comfortable with a nerdy outfit. Gladiator-like boots always match a mini skirt. Converse shoes are popular in nerd culture. 

CHOOSING ACCESSORIES

Accessories add a personal flavor to any look. The aesthetic accessories that go well with nerdy styles include,

  • NERD GLASSES:  Glasses are amazing to create the ultimate nerdy style. Black glasses or classic eyewear can be the perfect choice for the nerds out there. They make an effortless yet incredibly chic addition to any stylish girl nerd outfit. 
  • CARRY BOOKS: Many nerds are fond of books. It can help to carry several books to solidify the nerd look. It is a useful addition to a nerd costume at a party. If books are too clumsy to carry around, a nerd can carry some interesting comics. Many nerds are fond of superheroes, so comic books are the best pick for them. 
  • BAGS: Bags always play an important role to carry nerd accessories. For example, a plain tote bag, made of leather can work here. One can use a tote bag that is slightly specific like a Doctor Who tote bag with an image of a TARDIS on it. 

MAKEUP

Makeup has become a crucial part of the daily routine. It gives a fresh look that lasts for the whole day. So doing perfect makeup for the ultimate nerdy look takes a little bit of time. Most people think nerds look pale, as they spend a lot of time indoors. Some of the best makeup to consider for nerds include,

  • Foundation: A pale-toned nerd can apply a heavy amount of light foundation that gives a bright and flawless look.
  • Eye shadow: A nerd can choose mismatched or bright colors like blue, green, or purple eye shadows which are perfect for a nerdy attire.
  • Eyeliner: Funky eyeliners like red, or pink can be used instead of black liners to make the look nerdy. A thin layer of liner above the eyelashes and another line beneath the bottom lashes give a good look to the eyes.
  • Blush: To create a flushed look, a girl can apply bright color blush on the cheeks which will enhance the look.
  • Brown pencil: Brown pencils are very much important to draw freckles on faces that are appropriate for nerdy looks. Brown pencils are used on each cheek to add an adequate nerdy look. 

The outfits should be for all seasons and every occasion. An alternative style can be used by a nerd to look elegant. Studded clothing and accessories can be considered, and a few dressy outfits can be taken as simple alternative styles. It must be made sure to get the basics right, and buy good quality dresses, accessories, glasses, ties, bags to look fashionable.
