Threadbare Geek #2

Get your sh!rt together fool.  

Thin kid even looks big.
One of the biggest issues for guys including those who are heavier, is what to wear. Generally the go-to is big, in hopes that baggy clothes will camouflage your fighting weight. That was my methodology of dressing when I was carrying more poundage. Turns out rocking a hockey jersey when you are not on the ice, is not the most flattering look. The drape of the fabric tends to only draw attention to your shape, and adding to it. Which makes you look like a tapir, rather than the strapping lad you are. Also don't get me wrong if you are going to a game, rock your jersey;
as long as it is not to hide your body.

Dressing is about the lines and silhouettes, but the bigger the clothing the
less definition you get with both. Getting past the idea of wearing a more fitted shirt is intimidating, especially if you are not use to wearing button ups in the first place. As I heard it said "If you only wears ties to weddings and funerals, you will never be comfortable in them." The same goes for dress shirts.

Spring is nearly upon us, which means it is time to shake off the long-johns and pack away the winter coats (Though it is currently snowing outside right now, so maybe hold off a little longer).

My first rule for being a stylish geek, keep it subtle. We know you like Star Trek, but DON'T over do it.
                                    
     
1. I always AVOID text on tees, unless it is a band's name.  


          
        2. Hoodies are great for the gym, or touch football, but to look more put together, try a cardigan.
3. Last, if you dress more down on top with a tee, then dress up on the bottom, and lose the jeans.
