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. If your socks come anywhere above your lower ankles, ditch the white…
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
It doesn’t matter how tiny the hole is - get rid of worn out clothing immediately! The ONE exception is jeans. This also applies to shoes.
4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
Simple rule: No running, no running shoes. Period. Yes, I’m talking about Nike, Reebok, or New Balance. Gone.
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 or when layering)
You may think tucking in your shirt looks ‘neater’, but women strongly disagree. ESPECIALLY when it comes to tucked in t-shirts.
And the number one suggestion/complaint of women everywhere:
1. Never wear socks with sandals
There are few things women hate more than this footwear choice. Ask any woman you can find - to them, wearing socks with sandals is an extremely heinous act…
judging by the lack of comments, I’m assuming no nerds or geeks actually read this. Hah!
I love nerd fashions! These tips are great, but I think nerds are the best dressers already. Nerdboyfriend.com proves it.
Nerds tend to reserve comments for things that they hate or otherwise obsess about in an unhealthy way. But rest assured that we do read stuff like this and find it helpful. Pardon me, I need to go untuck my shirt

Thank you so much for this site! I am sending the URL to my husband immediately so that he and the guys at his office can improve instantly. I want to burn my hubbies closet (oops, honey!) and buy him a few pairs of jeans, a few pairs of dress pants, some appropriately fitting t-shirts and dress shirts. You are a public service.
