Nerd fashion is coming back.
The nerds mentioned here are not the tech nerds wearing hoodies. They are more of the stereotypical type of nerds we may think of from the 70’s~90’s, wearing plaid skirts, high-water pants, and geeky glasses.
These styles are making a comeback in the fashion industry since Gucci’s last autumn collection, followed by other high fashion brands such as Prada.
In addition celebrities such as Lupita Nyong’o, who played Maz Kanata in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is also with this trend by appearing in front of the camera with an orchid colored dress and geek-chic glasses.
So why is nerd fashion coming back?
Compared to what the world was before, since the 21st century, many people are becoming to have broader perspectives on the things around us. For example, children who were called quirky and weird are now told that their weirdness is their uniqueness, and are told to be proud of who they are. Gender issues are also being treated from a taboo topic to more of an issue that needs attention. Therefore in the same way, there are maybe notions of favoring the old-school style of the nerds, in which was once “the odd,” as now the contemporary fashion.
