Geek Gear You Can Wear in Public

How do you tell the right people that you love Doctor Who without telling the wrong people that you love Doctor Who? We offer some suggestions. Check out our list of geek gear you can wear in public.


We live in a time where the biggest films of the summer are all based on comic books and twenty year old cartoons. It's tempting to say the geeks have won. But that doesn't mean you can go out in public dressed in a full-on Klingon costume without having to answer for it. If you must adorn yourself with nerdy clothes and accessories, there are many far more subtle ways to go about it. Maybe you just wear a nerdy watch, or some quietly nerdy shoes. Perhaps you put on some Punisher cufflinks or Wonder Woman earrings. Our list of geek gear you can wear in public will help you show your geek street cred without looking like a total nerd.

Hulk Mask

Ski masks are a wonderful invention for those days when it's cold enough to freeze your whole face shut. If you're going to use one to protect yourself from the elements, you might as well get one that makes you look like the Incredible Hulk.

Admittedly, it's pretty geeky to wear such a mask. But the beauty is that the moment you pull it down, no one can recognize you anymore. So go nuts! Tell everyone how horrible Secret Wars was and why Ron Howard's The Dark Tower adaptation is a bad idea. You probably shouldn't rob any banks though, as the mask makes you highly memorable.
