Cheap Nerd Costumes - It Is Cool To Be Nerdy

Are you a nerd? Have your friends and loved ones been teasing you about being a nerd? It can happen to the best of us. We study a little too much, always have our noses in a book reading, have a unique, possibly odd interest. Some "nerds" like science fiction a little too much, or spend hours dedicated to writing gaming cheat codes. Nerds can be historical reenactors or rocket scientists. Nerds are some of our most loved movie and television characters. Halloween is the perfect opportunity to let our silly side out in one of Halloweens most classic costumes.

Nerd costumes are not meant to be spooky or scary. Traditionally they are not costumes that require a great deal of makeup, if any. They are not overly revealing, unless you are trying to create a "sexy nerd". Nerd costumes are seen as good natured and funny. The costume itself provides relaxed freedom of movement during your Halloween festivities. No heavy garments are required, no huge hot masks to wear around. The majority of nerd costumes allow party guest to interact with you because your identity is not hidden. It makes for an all around more enjoyable event.

A nerd costume can often times be created from items you have on hand, or can easily borrow from a friend. Shopping at your local thrift store can also offer great choices in vintage clothing and accessories and expired trends.

Classic nerds wear broken, thick, dark rimmed nerd glasses. The hair is most always parted and slicked down with a gel product. Nerds are famous for their pocket protectors on their saggy button down shirts. Buttoning the shirt all the way up to the top of the collar, is also nerdy.

Whether its a pair of jeans or dress pants, a nerd most certainly has their pants hitched up as far as they can. Cinched with a belt. This leaves several inches of "high-waters" above the shoe.

When dressing like a nerd, you can have fun with socks and shoes as well. Nearly any combination of sockshoe, and "high-waters", will give the desired appearance. If you own a pair of suspenders, strap them on, they are nerdy.

Nerdy girls are often mismatched in their clothing. Somewhat sloppy, with a shirt tucked halfway in and out. Eye wear and footwear mostly stay the same for the nerdy girls. Hairstyles are typically messy or very unique. Have fun with your hair and accessories, as well as your makeup. Makeup jobs application should look hit and miss.

Since being a nerd is a Halloween favorite there are a variety of pre-packaged, ready to wear nerd costumes available. At local retailers, as well as in various online locations. Most consist of many of the above nerd stereotypes. Either option will work perfectly for your costume event.

Bring along some accessories to put the finishing touches on the nerd costume. Carry your open laptop or strap on a backpack filled with books. Fill your pocket protector with a handful of pencils. Carry a handkerchief and act like you are blowing your nose a lot. Tape a funny sign on your back. There are dozens of ways to accessorize your own special nerd.

Attitude is everything when trying to represent a nerd. Nerds are awkward and clumsy. This will give you the perfect opening to be the life of the party. A nerd is a fun party guest to interact with. There is no guessing what the costume is. It makes for easy and light party interactions.

Ultimately, Halloween should be about having a fun time with your friends and family. Pick a costume that you are comfortable in, one that you can be relaxed in as you enjoy your party or trick or treating with your kids.

Especially if you are spending your Halloween with young children, you want your costume to make the kids smile, not be the one adult they all hide from. You especially don't want to scare your own little children.

A nerd offers a way to participate in dressing up, and giving others the opportunity to laugh and smile at you and with you. Join in on the fun and letting your silly side out for the holiday. Everyone loves a nerd!
