2020 Holiday Gift Guide – Geek Fashion

Geeks are often viewed as disheveled or uncaring of their appearance, but I find that to be an unfitting stereotype. Many of us take pride in our appearance, even if some people don’t understand it. Read on for some suggestions that caught our eye this year.

Jujube Wonder Woman 84 bags are a colorful addition to any wardrobe. The best part of the bags is they are all washable. The B.F.F full-sized bag works as a diaper bag or just a regular backpack. It also comes with a strap to turn it into a messenger bag. The smaller bags are great if you want to just toss in your phone, wallet, and a few essentials for a quick trip out.

Po-Zu Footwear
Suggested By: Sophie Brown
Mfg: Po-Zu
Price: $25 and up
Purchase: Po-Zu Footwear

Po-Zu have been one of my favorite footwear brands since I first got my hands on their Rey boot as worn by Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, part of their large Star Wars range that includes sneakers and cosplay options.
The company has a wide range of shoes and boots for everyone, all manufactured ethically and with many vegan options too that use natural plant fibers. My Rey boots are some of the comfiest I have ever owned and fully worth the admittedly high price point, although with a big sale currently running, there are also some great bargains to be had.

Trawler Jack Raincoat
Suggested By: Jonathan H. Liu
Mfg: Baxter Wood
Price: $140
Purchase: Trawler Jack Raincoat

The rainy season is upon us in the Pacific Northwest, but this Trawler Jack raincoat keeps me dry (at least, on the rare occasions when I venture outside in 2020). There are a variety of colors available—the bright yellow brings a bit of cheer to a gloomy day and helps keep me visible to drivers. The coat snaps shut, and has deep pockets so you don’t drop your keys in a puddle. If you order before the end of November, use the code CYBER30 to get 30% off!
