Geek Chic: Scrunchies, Sweaters, Socks and Sneakers

Hey guys!
So you probably saw this new trend in a fashion magazine, shop, blog etc. If not, here's a pic of the trend at
Ashish's Spring/Summer 13 Collection at London Fashion week.



Geek chic was the theme of Ashish's Spring/Summer show as scruffy but cool models paraded the catwalkFrench music boomed through the speakers as the models strutted in mis-matched shorts


I'm not really a huge fan of the trend. Although I think it would look nice on quirky and unusual people that aren't afraid to try it out. This trend has been featured in a few of my favourite high fashion shops such as: Topshop, Bershka and American Apparel. It has also been featured in a lot of runway shows during London fashion week.

My favourite part of the trend is probably the jumper or the socks. Especially this month I've been a big fan of jumpers and I've been wearing them often because the weather is so chilly this time of the year. When it comes to jumpers you don't really have to make an effort because they go with anything and there's such fashionable ones around the place. I like the socks because I think they look so cute with a dress/skirt. If you're going for the vintage look it works very well also.

I think this trend would be perfect if you're going for an effortless look or even going for a sporty or geek chic vibe.

That's my thought on the trend. What's yours?
Would you be courageous enough to pull it off?

  1. I like the one on the left, not so much the one on the right. As much as effortless fashion is great, I think I like a girlier vibe more! :)
