Top 5 Fashion Don'ts for Nerds

5. If it has a hole, tear or discoloration throw it out
It doesn’t matter how tiny the hole is - get rid of worn out clothing immediately! The ONE exception is jeans. This also applies to shoes.

4. Running shoes are for the gym ONLY
Simple rule: No running, no running shoes. Period. Yes, I’m talking about Nike, Reebok, or New Balance. Gone.

3. Do NOT wear free or company t-shirts
Free t-shirts are great, but don’t wear them anywhere you actually hope to talk to girls…

2. Do NOT tuck in your shirt (unless at a formal event or when layering)
You may think tucking in your shirt looks ‘neater’, but women strongly disagree. ESPECIALLY when it comes to tucked in t-shirts. There are a few exceptions…
And the number one suggestion/complaint of women everywhere:

1. Never wear socks with sandals
There are few things women hate more than this footwear choice. Ask any woman you can find - to them, wearing socks with sandals is an extremely heinous act…

Spotting a Fake Gucci

How to Spot a Fake
It’s so hard to spot a fake because most are very detailed and very close to the original. But, there are many red flags to follow when spotting that fake Gucci bag and here they are…
- Buy your Gucci bag at the Gucci store – there are thousands of stores worldwide. This will ensure that you are buying a 100% authentic Gucci bag. There are also a handful of department stores and other authorized retailers that can sell Gucci. For a complete list head to Gucci’s website.

- There are so many details on a Gucci bag – are you buying the double G famous logo bag? If so, is the logo an actual G? Make sure you study the logo of the authentic bag, so when you are confronted with a fake you will be absolutely sure that it is what it is. Many fake Gucci bags have odd logos. The logos should be on the inside of the bag; the zippers and the bag should come with an identification card.

- As they say, you get what you pay for. Gucci is a status label for a reason. The handbags aren’t cheap. Be ready to pay hundreds for a logo bag and even thousands for their specialty bags.

- Check out the quality. If it’s new and already falling apart or isn’t the highest quality of fabric (Gucci bags should be made of leather or another high quality fabric) then it is probably a fake.

- Does it come with the extras? A real Gucci bag coming from an authorized retailer and would come with a dust bag, a Gucci box, etc. If it’s wrapped in plastic, chances are you are buying a fake.
