What I Wore: NYCC Fashion With Jordandené

By Tristan George October 14, 2018

NYCC fashion is… tricky. October weather in New York is unpredictable. If it’s warm outside, it’s usually freezing inside, and it’s always insanely humid, even if it’s only 70 degrees. All of that usually leaves part of me wanting to wear leggings, a tank, and a cardigan every day, especially when I have to work. The other part of me, though– the part that literally went to fashion school– never allows that.

So, I planned my con outfits carefully. I started watching the weather closely as far in advance as I could. I searched through the depths of my closet to ensure I wouldn’t have to go on yet another shopping spree, and I did pretty well. (Turned out I already owned everything except for a cardigan I needed to buy for the season anyway.) And finally, when the weekend came, I had four, perfectly planned-out outfits for NYCC. Here’s what I wore!

Note: Bad lighting brought to you by unpredictable weather!

My Dream Geeky Fashion Collaborations

By Tristan George September 23, 2018

In case you missed it, my post two weeks ago was all about the new RockLove x Disney jewelry collection. Obviously, seeing two brands I adore come together was a dream come true, especially when it tapped into Disney’s underrated darker side. Plus, I’ve mentioned and loved so many others in the past: ColourPop x My Little Pony. Bésame Cosmetics x Agent Carter. Columbia x Star Wars!!! So, that really got me thinking: what would my dream geeky fashion collaborations be?

Sadly, I can’t promise that any of these are in the works, nor can I gauge the likelihood of them ever happening. But, it’s still fun to think about, right? (But, if you’re well-connected and know how to get any of these ideas rolling, you know where to find me.)

Geeky Hats Are Seriously Underrated

By Tristan George September 12, 2018

Hi. I’m here to tell you to something we seriously have not been paying much attention to: geeky hats. Aside from the occasional superhero logo baseball cap, how often do you see them? I can answer that for you: not often enough. Luckily, in the spirit of putting our geek chic twist on as many products as possible, Jordandené is here to save the day with our collection of beanies, dad hats, and five-panel and flat bill caps.

If you don’t think you can pull off hats– geeky hats, specifically– I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong.

Casual Cosplay With Jordandené, Part One

By Tristan George July 22, 2018

Casual cosplay (or ‘closet cosplay’ as some call it) is a wonderful thing for many reasons. It can help a newbie cosplayer get their feet wet before they make the commitment to full-on cosplay, which can make things much less underwhelming. But it can also give the rest of us an easy way to embrace out fandom 365 days of the year, experts and novices alike.

Casual cosplay usually involves stylish, everyday outfits that you can easily pull from your own closet. This can mean dressing up as a character that keeps it casual or dressing down an elaborate costume in a creative way. Regardless of your reason and how you choose to go about it, this is a super fun way to take your geek chic dressing to the next level. (Plus, it gives your Jordandené tees another purpose. Score.)

Styling Starforce: 5 Looks Based On My Favorite Magical Girl Gang

By Emily Audette June 12, 2018

If we have spoken for ten minutes or more, you know I’m a massive fan of Zodiac Starforce. ZS is a magical girl comic from creators Kevin Panetta and Paulina Ganucheau. Starring five incredible ladies, Zodiac Starforce deals with regular high school problems, cut with fighting monsters. It’s a lot. But this crew is up for it.

Brand Spotlight: 1138 Clothing

By Tristan George June 10, 2018

Do you want to know the most difficult thing about being in the geek community? Everyone is so. Damn. Talented. And when a bunch of talented people hone their craft and flock to places to sell it, well, let’s just say it takes quite the toll on my wallet. Linda Heredia of 1138 Clothing is one of those people.

Favorite Finds: Solo Edition

By Tristan George June 3, 2018

By now, we’ve all seen Solo: A Star Wars Story at least once, right? And we’ve all swooned over Donald Glover as Lando (or as I’ve been calling him: Childish Lambino) and demanded he has his own movie? Yeah?

Cool, just making sure. In celebration of all things Solo, here are some of my favorite finds inspired by both this film and everyone’s favorite franchise.

Brand Spotlight: Utinni Bikini

By Tristan George May 27, 2018

I don’t know about you guys, but every so often a stumble across a shop or brand and stare wide-eyed at their homepage with a gut feeling that screams, “I think this was made for me.” That’s exactly how I felt when I discovered Utinni Bikini last year.

Proclaiming Your Geek In Everyday Life

By Rachael Parker May 18, 2018

I am a geek, nerd, wonk, whatever you prefer. I always have been. When I was younger I boldly wore the shirts, dresses, pants, scarves, etc. that proclaimed loudly to the world I was indeed one of the geeky persuasion, daring them to fight me on it or question my geekness. Movie and book premieres were costumed events. Barely a day went by when there wasn’t some item of geekery on my body, generally more than one. T-shirts, patches, messenger bags, beanies, you name it chances are I wore it.

Fictional Style Icon: Peggy Carter

By Tristan George May 17, 2018

There were a lot of reasons to love Agent Carter during Peggy Carter’s short-lived reign on ABC, and for me personally, the realistic peek into 1940’s postwar fashion was one of them.
