Nerd costume set Sam

The Sam nerd costume set is a three-piece set with yellow-and-black checkered suspenders, a red checkered bow tie, and black-rimmed glasses.

Add a white shirt, button it all the way up, and put on the glasses for an instant nerd look. The set is designed for women and men and is perfect for Carnival or a school- and university-themed party.

Suspenders, bow tie and glasses from the nerd set

• The suspenders are yellow with a black checkered pattern and run straight over the shoulders.
• The bow tie is a red checkered butterfly bow with dark lines, worn at the collar.
• The glasses have rectangular black frames, the one accessory everyone associates with a nerd.
• The same set works with a men's shirt or a women's blouse, so it is suitable for both women and men.
• The shirt, blouse and trousers are not included in the set and must be provided by you.

Why are nerds associated with glasses and suspenders?

You can recognize a nerd by clothes that are meant to look smart but turn out just a little too stiff: heavy glasses, a bow tie and suspenders that keep the trousers high. This image comes from movies and series about school and university, where the smart classmate is always dressed too neatly. It is precisely this mix of bookworm and old-fashioned that makes it an ideal costume for a beauty and brains party, where some members of the group appear as nerds.

A complete nerd outfit to complement the set

Start with a white shirt with long or rolled-up sleeves and wear the suspenders over trousers that are checkered or beige and sit just a little too high. Women can pair the set with a white blouse and a pencil skirt, with the bow tie at the open collar providing a smart touch. A pen in the breast pocket or a stack of books under the arm completes the character. If there are two of you, you can both wear the same set and instantly be recognizable as classmates.

Order the Sam nerd costume set and show up at the party as a bookworm with a few items from your own wardrobe.
