Geek Gear You Can Wear in Public

Along with the Batman logo t-shirt, it's difficult to imagine a more widely accepted form of showing fandom than by wearing a plain blue Superman logo T-shirt. From frat boys to homeless people to Madonna, this is a dependable shirt for nearly any rung on the social ladder. Your mom may even have one for casual Fridays at the office.

A Nightwing emblem t-shirt, on the other hand, may be pushing it. And it's never a good idea to go out with anything associated with Aquaman.

The first few times you watch The Matrix, your mind is blown, and it's hard to concentrate on the little things. But on viewing five or six, it becomes apparent that Morpheus' glasses do not have temples (those things that keep glasses on your face). While this may look too good to be true, it's actually as true as anything else in this virtual reality construct in which we all reside.

So if you're into looking overly fashionable and have a bigger than average noggin, you too can wear these magical sunglasses that both look cool and reference your favorite crazy true believer. Just make sure you watch out for Agents.

If you know who Dick Tracy is, then you know how awesome his watch was. He could do everything on that thing. Actually, he could only call people on it, but the watch has long become an iconic piece of the Dick Tracy legacy all the same. Again, that's if you know who Dick Tracy is. Warren Beatty made a movie about him once. If you know who Warren Beatty is.

For those that do remember Dick Tracy, you can totally get that watch now. It's sort of like a tiny iPhone just for your wrist. It can send text messages and tell you the news and maybe even the time. For only $175 you can wow your fellow Dick Tracy friends while your lame office buddies marvel at the sheer novelty the item offers.

He may have been the bastard son of a hundred maniacs, but Freddy Krueger had some pretty decent fashion sense. While his Indiana Jones-esque Fedora doesn't work equal magic on everyone who attempts to wear one, the red and black striped sweater is always a good bet. In fact, it's such a simple design that millions are probably walking around dressed like Freddy Krueger right now without even knowing it. But you'll know it. And people who know what's best for them will give you wide berth.

If you really want to get crazy, you can throw on some Freddy Krueger shoes to match. Just tell everyone you spilled a little red paint on them.
