It’s only day one of the Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix challenge, and we’re already overwhelmed by the amazing outfits you’re sharing online. We planned to do a roundup of geeky fashion outfits at the end of each week of the challenge (to show off all the best outfits for each of our weekly themes), but there are too many incredible posts for that. So, we’re making this a daily recap!
Sometimes I come across a new Kickstarter campaign that’s a perfect intersection of all of my interests, and the Geekfinitee campaign is exactly that. Geek fashion + Harry Potter + handmade goods couldn’t be more up my alley.
SARTORIAL GEEKS: ENSEMBLE!
Welcome to Sartorial Geek’s first ever Geek Fashion Fix Challenge, co-hosted by Nina and Alice! Throughout the entire month of July (and a bit of August), we challenge you to post a new pic of a geek themed outfit based on your favorite characters and fandoms on your Instagram account.
We’ll be sharing our favorites throughout the weeks on our Instagram. Plus, the outfits you post will win you prizes from Jordandene!
My last Disneybound post, Light Side Style, outfitted you to represent the Jedi Order or join the Resistance when you arrive at Disney’s Star Wars-themed land Galaxy’s Edge. This time, I share Dark Side Disneybound options.
Where there is Light, there is also Dark, and that’s true at Black Spire Outpost, which includes the presence of the sinister First Order. So if you’re inclined towards Imperial might or the mysterious Knights of Ren, these looks are for you.
This week, Disneyland opens its much anticipated Star Wars-themed land, Galaxy’s Edge*. This begs the question, what are you going to wear? Are you planning a Star Wars Disneybound?
In this 2-part blog post, I’m getting you outfitted for your visit to the Black Spire Outpost in either Light Side style or Dark Side chic.
I’m a firm believer in dressing up no matter what the occasion. Going on a quick Target run? Have dinner plans at a super casual restaurant? Taking your dog out for a walk? Dress to the nines . . . but make it geeky!
Like many geeky fashionistas, I’m always taking inspiration from beloved (and love to hate) characters from books, movies, and tv shows. Since I’ve been riding high on Marvel, I created a fun look with retro flair inspired by Minn-Erva from Captain Marvel, as portrayed by Gemma Chan. While I was bummed her character wasn’t fully fleshed out, there’s no denying that her aesthetic is cool AF.
If Superstore‘s Cheyenne Lee had a Patronus, it would undoubtedly be a unicorn.
She’s bubbly, outgoing, smart in her own way, and incredibly unique. Cheyenne can always be found rocking a wild print whether on her shirt or her shoes, and crazy hair accessories a la Lizzie Maguire (are ’90s hairstyles making a comeback?!).
With the return of spring comes the return of music festivals and the fashion that goes with it. Coachella just wrapped its second weekend, and I couldn’t help thinking about what I might have worn if I’d gone. Since I love making outfits geeky and since we’re in Avengers: Endgame mode, I styled an appropriately “festive” look.

Step 1 to creating a look: Become Obsessed
It has been about a month now since Captain Marvel hit theaters, and I have increasingly grown to love this character more and more with each day. Everything from her awkward and witty humor to her very human finesse of always getting back up again. I felt like I easily saw myself in her, which hasn’t really happened with a super hero character on the big screen. Sure, I connect and relate. But there were moments that I felt like Carol WAS me.
