AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around choosing a nerdy outfit for a "most academic" award ceremony. Participants debate whether a button-up shirt with a bow tie and suspenders or a button-up with a bow tie and a sweater vest is nerdier. Suggestions lean towards suspenders, with some humorously proposing to wear both, layering the suspenders over the vest. The conversation also touches on accessories like nerd glasses, a pocket protector, and other stereotypical nerd attire such as high tops and a messy hairstyle. Ultimately, the original poster decides to stick with suspenders due to time constraints, while others provide playful ideas to enhance the nerdy look, including adding a calculator and various humorous props.

I was voted most academic (essentially most nerdy) and have to dress up for tomorrow. What's nerdier, a button up with a bow tie and suspenders or a button up with a bow tie and sweater vest? If it's the latter I have to run out and get a vest.

I'd do them both. Suspenders on underneath, halfway through you whip the top off and you're properly nerding it up!

Since you have already won the most academic award and already own suspenders, I would say go with suspenders. :smile: Whenever I think nerdy I think of this http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...=X&ei=ZW0mTZOJA4a0sAPj0MnZAw&ved=0CB8Q9QEwBA" Looks like he wears both.

I don't know if nerd glasses make you look nerd but they are awesome!

Don't neglect to consider the "scruffy physicist" look. You'd need to get some hair to stick up in the front (from spending hours leaning over your desk with your forehead in your hand, trying to figure out a problem).
 
Aww! I thought it was a real dress. :frown:
 
Thanks for all the feedback :) unfortutely the store closed several hours ago, so I'm just going to rock the suspenders. I wish I had though of wearing a vest under them though...but then I wouldn't have a pocket to protect.

White shirt, bow-tie, either jeans or kakis pulled up over your stomache held up with both a belt and suspenders. A pocket protector, with a slide rule hanging from your belt, chuck taylor high tops and white socks.

A little tape on your glasses never hurts and make sure you either slick down your hair completely or make it a complete mess.

I was going to suggest ironing the SM Lagrangian Density on a white shirt but you probably don't have enough time. Anyways, what you have now is perfect.

All you need is a calculator in your front shirt pocket, glasses with scotch tape holding them
together, a pencil in the groove of your ear, a few envelopes with scribbles on the back of
them periodically falling out of your pocket when everyone is looking & you're golden :cool:
A t-shirt with Maxwell's equations wouldn't go amiss either :wink:
