Our Geek did not get much more attractive in the first post. In fact, the black shoes and oversized t-shirt was not a great combo. So let us delve into size.
Clothes make the man If your clothes are anything other than your size, you will look like a fool to the people around you. Of course, this is partly determined by age and demographic. Urban attire has its own set of rules. But, if you have graduated from High School, it is time to consider some clothing that fits.
The Geek The geek is wearing a T-shirt three-times too big. A quick change of T-shirt to one that fits can work wonders.
Wearing clothes that fit seems like a simple concept, but it escapes many people. This geek may be almost 30, but he still fits into a Men's Small or Boy's Large. Getting over a fear of being seen shopping in the boy's department can also keep your wallet heavier, as adult clothing tends to have adult pricing. Of course, this option is only open to scrawny geeks like our model!
Five reasons to buy clothes that fit
1 - You look sharp
2 - Smaller sizes can be less expensive
3 - They wrinkle less (fitting more snugly)
4 - You can do a larger load of laundry
5 - You can (sometimes) get away with white sneakers
As stated in the first Geek to Chic, white sneakers are generally appropriate for the gym and chores, but not much else. Still, clothes that fit will let you get away with some laziness, so a trip to the mall in white kicks is not out of the question.
He is still kind of dorky
Our geek could stand to improve his wardrobe from a T-shirt, jeans and shoes. They might work on a Saturday afternoon lounging at home, but how would he ever pick up a chick? This can wait until next time.
