For those of you who firmly believe that fashion is all about catering solely to a particular brand of audience, it is time to dethrone those beliefs! For starters geek chic fashion is for all those who are unapologetically geeky and aren’t afraid to wear their individuality with panache. If you are in need of inspiration on how to etch out your geek chic look through your sartorial sensibilities then you have reached your destination.
I have woven seven different geek chic style stories and all you have to do is float through this journey and decide on which one is you!
Evoking the Earthy spirits!
You are married to decadence and everything classic appeals to your refined taste. Whether it is office or a casual dinner your capsule wardrobe of handloom sarees never let you down. A moss green blouse teamed with a yellow kalamkari sari, a silver coin neckpiece, silver hand cuff, toe rings in semi-precious stones, a black bindi and the classic jhola bag with kashida embroidery is all you need to commence your kind of day at a book launch or a play!
A bit of boho here and a bit of geek there!
For the non-conformist who is rooted to the lap of tradition, you like to usher in myriad hues and shades in your otherwise sepia painted monotonous day. You wear many hats but it is sculpture and poetry that make your eyes beam every time! A tie-and-dye white and blue Shibori wrap-around skirt coordinated with a makhmal top and finished off with an arm band, statement silver finger rings, a turban and sea-deep kohl-eyes would come to your rescue any day!
For the love of tea and art!
Celebrate the culture vulture, tea connoisseur and art maven in you with a blue ajrakh printed palazzo and long kurta in sepia or caramel tone. You have an eye for understated elegance and hence conclude the look with a nose-ring, chappals with pompom detailing and don’t forget to wear your dazzling smile!
Coz I swear by Marvel!
As the child-woman, the tech-savvy and the comic enthusiast, you never miss out on your superhero movies or comic cons. Whether it is Tintin or Marvel comics you have them all in your enviable collection. You are thorough about the latest gadgets in the market and you are the personal technical adviser of your peer group. You love your white Batman t-shirt which you pair with your denim jacket and batman flats and when there’s a nip in the bud, it is the Disney pullover sweater and star-printed converse that saves you from catching a cold! And yes you never step out without your swanky owl bag-pack!
Bibliophilia and crease!
You are high-brow and you breathe books at every step you take and every move you make! White-on-white kurta-dhoti pant separates is your comfort zone. You love accessorizing this look with turquoise tassel earrings, Kutch embroidered handbag and yes your favourite geeky glasses!
Preppy-ly happy!
You are the go-getter, the obscenely talented all-rounder and the teacher’s pet anywhere and everywhere you go! Pussybow blouse or peter-pan collared pleated shirt with slim-fit trouser or a flared skirt and layered with a three-fold front-button knit cardigan, stockings, loafers or espadrilles and the timeless satchel define your preppy style that spells suave with a capital ‘S’.
Casual and carefree travelbug!
The wanderlust, the travel bug and the adventurous kickass lass is synonymous with you. You are bold, fearless and you live to travel and travel to live! Maps and globes hover in your room. You are the curator of memories and preserve them through your love for insightful photography that has a story to tell much like yourself. A plaid shirt with acid washed denim, white plimsoles, tassel bucket bags along with your garamond bold glasses in place, you are ready to take on the world!
Hope you enjoyed these style stories as much as I enjoyed penning them down! So which geek chic are you? Be geek chic, intelligent and always stay beautiful in your own way and on your own terms!
