Some points to note for your general appearance and hygiene:

1. Pick the right size: Try it on before you buy it. Nerds can’t communicate properly with other humans, especially that sweet-talking cute-looking sales girl at the Gap. That’s why nerds zap into the store, pay for their clothes and bail as fast as they can. But you gotta buy clothes of the right size. And if you don’t, it’s obvious when your clothes don’t fit. It looks very silly.

2. Hollywood style: Please don’t dress like Kid Rock. You ain’t star material, let’s face it. These people have professional designers and image consultants helping them, and you don’t. And they have built up an image over the years, which you also don’t have. So, lose that shocking pink top and that red ultra-tight leather pants. Wake up! Stop wearing your inflated ego.

3. Simple yet elegant: For guys, being clean, simple yet elegant is enough. You can play with many elements even with a simple style. Take a white shirt as example. Assuming it’s 100% clean, crisp white (you’ll look smart in it) and you can spice things up a little with a tie of a brighter color. But if you’re already wearing a bright-colored shirt, don’t wear a tie with another bright color.
