'Geeky' fancy dress; Shopping list!

Soldering_Iorn

Guys,

Geeky fancy dress party next weekend, I have a list of items to make up my ensemble!

Check shirt
Plain tie
Suspenders
BRIGHT red skinny chinos

So the question is where can I find these items at the cheapest prices, suggestions?

Penneys!

If you're near any second-hand or charity shops you could also have a rummage to see if you spot anything in there?

Second hand shop would probably be your best bet? Or Penneys. Red chinos wouldn't necessarily say "geek" to me so I wouldn't worry about getting a different colour if you have to.

Don't forget all stereotypical geeks wear thick glasses and have lots of pens in their shirt pocket.

Kinda going for an 'outrageous' colour scheme, all bright red with a bright yellow dickey/tie.

I hear ya, re: thick glasses and pens. Have a old Sharp Calculator here from C.1995 so that'll be going in there too. :rolleyes:

Will have a look in Pennys during the week and have a rummage around a few second-hand shops and update!

Thanks guys!

If you can't get bright red chinos, have a look at the bright red skinny jeans for women in penneys. Sounds ridiculous, but could work for a fancy dress.

Also, Claire's Accessories do thick, plastic rimmed glasses with fake lenses.

Take the lenses out of the 3d glasses u get in the cinema! And make sure the chinos are slightly too short hehe
