- Socks and bracelets are hidden ways to add geek style
1. Subtle Superhero Cufflinks
Start with a pair of simple superhero cufflinks. These small items are great for showing your favorite characters without being too flashy. Cufflinks are good for adding some personality to formal clothes. They're noticeable enough to start a chat but not so obvious that they look unprofessional.
Our Recessed Matte Darth Vader Head Cufflinks are a cool way to bring Star Wars to your suit. They cost $99.00, are made of metal and enamel, and are about 7/8" x 3/4" in size. They're easy to put on and just need a quick wipe to keep clean. The design looks like Vader's famous helmet, making them a subtle but cool addition to any dress shirt.
2. Galactic Tie Bars
Add some space style to your office clothes with a tie bar that looks like famous sci-fi weapons. These not only keep your tie neat but also add some space style to your outfit. Tie bars are useful and stylish, making them great for someone who wants to add a bit of fun to their look.
The Darth Vader Lightsaber Tie Clip, which comes in a set for $165.00, is a good example. The tie clip is about 2" x 1/4" and comes with a matching bracelet. They're official Star Wars products, so you know they're the real deal. The lightsaber design on the tie clip looks cool and grown-up while showing you like Star Wars.
3. Heroic Lapel Pins
A small pin can say a lot. These tiny accessories let you show your favorite fictional world without being too much for work. You can wear lapel pins on suit jackets, blazers, or even shirt collars for a more relaxed office look.
Check out the X-Wing Tie Fighter Battle Gift Set for $24.00. It has a cool pin shaped like the Rebel Alliance symbol, made of metal. It's a small nod to Star Wars that won't look weird in a meeting. The design is detailed enough for fans to notice but simple enough to fit in with work clothes.
4. Geeky Socks for a Pop of Color
Work clothes don't have to be boring. Add some fun to your outfit with pop culture socks. They're hidden most of the time but show a bit of fun when you sit down or cross your legs. Fun socks are a great way to show what you like without making your whole outfit unprofessional.
Our sock collection has lots of cool themes to wear under your work pants. These socks aren't just fun - they're comfy too, made from a mix of cotton, nylon, and spandex to fit well and let your feet breathe. From superhero logos to sci-fi patterns, our socks let you show your favorite things in a small way while keeping your feet comfy all day at work.
5. Sci-Fi Inspired Bracelets
A simple bracelet can add some geek style to your wrist without being too distracting. These work well with long sleeves or rolled-up sleeves, so you can choose how much to show. Bracelets are great because you can hide them under your sleeve if you need to or show them off in more casual moments.
The Darth Vader Helmet Double Wrap Stainless Steel Bracelet, which costs $99.00, is a good example. This bracelet has a magnetic clasp to stay on and is made of stainless steel with braided leather. It's tough enough for everyday wear, just like Vader's armor. The double wrap design makes it more noticeable on your wrist while still looking professional.
6. Rebel Alliance Symbol Cufflinks
If you like the good guys in Star Wars, the Rebel Alliance Symbol Cufflinks are perfect. They cost $69.30 and have the famous Rebel Alliance logo. They're a subtle way to bring Star Wars into your work clothes while still looking neat.
These cufflinks are made of rhodium-plated metal with enamel and are about 3/4" across. The red enamel Rebel Symbol on the shiny metal looks cool but not too flashy, perfect for rebels at work or in space. They're made of good materials, so they'll last a long time in your collection.
