Darthphere's House of Style: From Geek to Chic.

It's a graphic tee. It's no different than wearing a shirt with a superman logo on it. Hahaha man, you're next on my makeover list.

Womp, honestly, you should go with a nice button down, maybe with some vertical stripes, it's slimming. Dark jeans, they can be blue, but a dark blue. Not too loose, straight legged, but relaxed. Top it off with some casual dress shoes or boots. Hit the town and bag some *****es.

I agree. It's a fairly flexible style that works well almost anywhere and isn't too casual or too fancy. If you want to dress it up a little get a couple of casual sportcoats to go along with it. But be careful, too nice of a sportcoat will just make you look like an old man grabbing a bite to eat at at the country club.

The shoes will also dress it up or down. go with a decent pair of loafers for a clean look or go boots like Darth said. If you want a relaxed look during the daytime, you can even go sandals if that's your thing.

I have 3 superhero tshirts...a Flash, a Zoom...red and yellow respectively...the only red and yellow shirts I own and a B.P.R.D. shirt all of which I bought at comic con last summer....I don't wear them to work, usually just if Im running errands or something...Ive worn the BPRD shirt to a bar, but I had a button down shirt over it

 

[Erzengel]

My shirts. Like I said, I like subtle geekiness.

 

[knowsbleed]

That's subtle?

Like a plug in the sphincter?

 

[Twitch]

Well its not like OMG I Luv Teh Batman is written on it, that's very subtle unless someone gets it. Although the Batman shirt is the most obvious due to impact on pop culture.

Yeah, most of those people wouldn't know what they were about unless they were just as into it.

I can dig it, Erz. :heart:

I'll admit the Batman one is obvious. But, most people wouldn't get the water over fire Snake Eyes t-shirt, the Nightwing or the Empire insignia. And even though TF and GI Joe came out I doubt people would still know those symbols.

 

[knowsbleed]

my inner geek has once again clouded my judgement. proceed.

But for god's sake, do not wear socks with your sandals. Ever. We will find you.

Mandals yo.

 

[BillyZaned]

just ordered a shirt that has three wolves on it howling, and a moon in the background....

 

[knowsbleed]

All this talk... Darth, you should post pics of you and your style. That way you don't even have to describe anything... let your posing do the talking for you.

I had a pair of plain black Sketchers boots I wore back when I worked for UPS. The tongue started grinding into my shin, though. I had to switch them for Lugz.

I've been thinking about getting a pair of Lugz but they do look like a heavy shoe to wear.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Lugz still exist?

 

[Etienne]

Last time I checked.

 

[Go Web Go!]

What about Saucony's? The orthopedic looking shoes that were somehow popular amongst youngsters when I was in middle school.

 

[BlackLantern]

Lugz still exist?

they do...I have a plain black pair that I wear to work on occasion

 

[Manic]

They're not all heavy. I wore heavy Lugz for UPS, but I had an older pair of thinner black Lugz that I wore as everyday black shoes and as dress shoes when I worked at Fry's Electronics (they had a strict tie and coat policy for all salespeople).

I like *some* graphic tees, but I see far too many people going overboard with them. I tend to prefer something that sparkles if I'm gonna get a graphic tee, though :heart:

I've got a couple of nerd shirts for casual days. I'm wearing a Rainbow Brite one right now I also have a Kingdom Hearts one. I've yet to find a good comic-related t-shirt that isn't man-sized. I'm not interested in Supergirl or Batgirl or Wonder Woman

 

[Manic]

The only graphic t-shirts I have are a "Xavier Institute for Higher Learning" shirt, and one of Stewie from Family Guy as Tony Montana from Scarface. I almost never wear the Stewie/Scarface shirt, and I originally bought the X-Men shirt as part of my Beast costume a few Halloweens ago (I created a makeshift school uniform instead of an X-Men outfit).

 

[Erzengel]

Oh I do have a non-subtle t-shirt. It says "It's not the Jedi way."

I will. Once I get my haircut.

Some suggestions:

This is similar to the one Darth posted









I really love this Star Wars one...I may buy it even though I already own a Star Wars shirt.

All at Junk Food. I'd wear some of the men's styles too, I think they have them in X-Small.
