Being part of a fandom is like being part of a special club. Hopefully you are able to find the right corner of the internet, where you and your fellow fans can geek out to your heart’s content. Social media can admittedly be a hotbed of negativity and hatred; and blocking Trump doesn’t always put an end to that mess showing up on your feed. However, a carefully cultivated social media presence can help you find your fellow nerd folk.
Some of us want to broadcast our geek pride beyond participating in our geek communities. Donning a t-shirt, dress, hoodie, etc, representing your favourite corner of geekdom can be empowering. Geek fashion can give you strength when you need it and confidence when you’re lacking. And if you’re anything like me, it can make putting pants on in the morning a bit more enjoyable (seriously, pants are the worst).
Finding geek fashion that you love can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you are in a smaller town. Sometimes chain stores like Wal-Mart will surprise, but more often than not their selection of geek apparel is lacking at best. As a result, us geeks have to turn to online retailers to get our fix. If you are new to the world of online geek shopping, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options. To help demystify things, and set you on the right path, here is a brief guide to finding the best in geek fashion.
