ICYMI, our Fall SGFashionFix Challenge has already begun! It runs through the entire month of October. Here are the prompts!
Our first week’s prompt was Pirates, and I wanted to share how I built a pirate outfit from pieces I already had in my closet. I figure this might be useful if you need a last minute Halloween costume or wanted to make more use out of your clothes.
It’s time for our annual Summer SG Fashion Fix Challenge!
There’s an abundance of fun and geeky things happening this summer, so we’re excited to see what everyone comes up with for all the prompts we’ve concocted. Alice and Nina are co-hosting once again, and are also taking over @sartorialgeek on Instagram to share your looks throughout the month! 😄
Week 1 (July 3-9): Beach Reads
What books are you diving into this summer? Show us what you’re reading poolside, at the beach, or in the comfort of your own home! We’d love to see your current reads and what’s on your TBR list. Feel free to put together bookish looks inspired by your favorite fictional characters too!
Week 2 (July 10-16): Cosmic Vibes
We’re stoked for the Ahsoka series to premiere in August, but Secret Invasion just recently came out and we just can’t resist an opportunity to have a space theme! What can we say? Our heads are constantly in the clouds and the stars above. This week, the sky’s not the limit! Go to infinity and beyond with characters and fandoms related to space. 🚀🌌👽🌠
Week 3 (July 17-23): Convention Couture
It’s San Diego Comic-Con week, which is basically like New York Fashion Week for us! From the casual looks of con goers and cosplayers roaming the Exhibit Hall, to the Her Universe Fashion show, and the X-Men Hellfire Gala, we’re all in for a smorgasbord of geek couture! Show off your finest casual or actual cosplays during this week.
Week 4 (July 24-31): Barbiecore
To say we’re excited for the Barbie movie is a complete understatement. So that’s why we’re dedicating the last week of our challenge to the ultimate fashion icon herself! Forget red, paint the town pink! Hot pink, rose, blush, pastel, ballet slipper, bubblegum, flamingo, Pepto Bismol — WE WANNA SEE IT ALL! Create looks based on your fave Barbie dolls or make up your own Barbiesona. 💝

Join us once again for a full month of geek inspired fashion for the Spring edition of the Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix Challenge! Our co-hosts, Alice and Nina, have prepared new prompts to fit the vibes of the season.
We can’t wait to see your looks 🤩
Week 1 (May 1-7): Galaxy
The first week of May brings us both May the 4th and Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.3, so it was an obvious choice to celebrate all things related to the galaxy (far far away and otherwise)!
Week 2 (May 8-14): Festive Florals
Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking. But we love a good floral ‘fit here at Sartorial Geek! Show us how you mix your fave fandoms with florals.
Week 3 (May 15-21): Surf the Vibe
When we think of a beach day, we usually associate it with Summer, but why wait?! We’re surfing the beachy vibes the warm spring air is giving. Put together a fun beach look inspired by characters from your favorite fandoms!
Week 4 (May 22-31): Wes Anderson
We’re loving the Wes Anderson trend that’s been going around on TikTok, so we wanted to hop in on the fun too! You can make your own Wes Anderson-esque video, or take inspiration from one of his many films for quirky ensemble.

Spring has sprung and is still in bloom, so we’re back again for the Spring edition of our #SGFashionFix Challenge! Our style savvy co-hosts, Nina and Alice, have come up with new prompts for you to flex your creative fandom muscles with. The month of May is filled with so much geeky goodness to draw inspo from too!
It should come as no surprise that our favorite thing to do at The Sartorial Geek is share the cool things that fellow geeky brands, artists, and fans are up to. We are beyond excited to bring a collection of the greatest nerdy makers to you with: The Sartorial Geek Boutique.
