Nerd Boyfriend is Our Main Squeeze

• story Siri Thorson

Everyone knows that nerds make the best companions. They’re shy, sensitive, and they can show you how to download a ton of free games for your DS. Sadly, the misconception that nerds don’t know how to dress themselves (without mom’s help) still seems to linger in the cultural subconscious. If ever you needed proof that fashion and nerdiness can—and do—walk hand in hand, then take a look at Nerd Boyfriend. Featuring a regularly updated, impeccably curated selection of vintage photographs of everyone’s favorite fashionable nerds, from Art Garfunkel to Robert Crumb to Tennessee Williams, the site offers up a shopping guide for how to capture each look for yourself or your significantly nerdy other. Seriously helpful styling tips whether you are a nerd boyfriend, have a nerd boyfriend, or just wish you did.
