Top 10 Fashion Suggestions for Nerds

While creating Fashion4Nerds.com, we interviewed over 30 young women between the ages of 18 and 32 about their likes and dislikes when it comes to guys' fashion. We even asked them to give special attention to why they consider us Nerds unfashionable.

Here are their Top 10 responses, ordered by frequency of occurrence. Some tips may surprise you - they surprised us!

10. Always wear a belt

Pants have belt-loops for a reason. Use them. You can't go wrong with black or brown, but stay away from large, fancy buckles...

9. White socks are only worn during athletic activities

Gleaming, bright-white socks, worn beneath jet-black dress shoes. Even we have to admit that's pretty ugly...

8. Make sure nails are trimmed and clean

Who knew - women pay attention to a guy's finger nails...

7. No facial hair

Long story short, to be on the safe side, ditch the facial hair. Yes, some men can pull it off, you probably aren't one of them...

6. Pants - no pleats or tapered legs

You're not a rock star, so no tapered or tight-legged jeans...

5. If it has a hole, tear or discoloration throw it out

Doesn't matter how tiny the hole is - get rid of worn out clothing immediately...

4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY

Simple rule: No running, no running shoes. Period.

3. Do NOT wear free or company t-shirts

Free t-shirts are great, but don't wear them anywhere you actually hope to talk to girls...

2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event)

You may think tucking in your shirt looks 'neater', but women disagree. There are a few exceptions...


And the number one suggestion/complaint of women everywhere:


1. Never wear socks with sandals
