Thick-framed glasses previously worn exclusively by geeks have become a hot item – even Michael Cera is wearing them!

Showing off your geeky self has never been so cool. Embrace your inner geek and let it show in your style. Here are some tips on how to rock the geek chic look.

Oversized Glasses: If you only follow one step, this is the one to follow. Whether or not you actually need glasses to see, this is the perfect way to start off your geeky look. If you want to nail this look, find a pair of oversized glasses. Pick a pair with a thick, bold frame that suits your face. Try a square or round shape for the perfect geeky look.

Mismatch Your Outfit: Step out of the box with your outfits. Mix patterns and bright colours that you wouldn't normally match, like stripes and polka dots or bright pink and orange. Choose a bold outfit to show off your unique self.

The Graphic Tee: For a quick geeky look that is still cute, try a graphic T-shirt with a quirky saying on it.

Let Your Hair Go: Do you wake up every morning with a head full of curls? Toss away the straightener and let your beautiful locks be free. The best part of the geek chic look is that you get to be yourself — be proud of your natural hair.

Natural Beauty: Along with letting your hair do its thing, keep your make-up natural. Try out new makeup looks but don't hide the beautiful face that is yours. If you want to be bold, try bright lipstick to make your lips pop!

Your Mom's Jeans: Remember being embarrassed about how high your mom wore her jeans? Well, that look is back! Try a cute pair of high-waisted pants or shorts. They'll add the perfect retro feel to your look.

Accessorize: Look for chunky, out-of-the-ordinary jewellery that will stand out. Find something original that will be sure to catch people's eyes. Be bold and don't be afraid to try something new that you wouldn't typically wear.

Confidence: Walk outside and stand up tall with this new look. This may not be a piece of clothing or a tip on makeup, but this can apply to any look you are going for. The best way to rock any look is to wear it with pride. Be proud to be you.

Have Fun: Sure, these are some guidelines to rock the geek chic look but the most important part is to just be you. Have fun with the look, get creative and try something new. Don't be afraid to stand out!
