For her birthday, I got my girlfriend a pentacle necklace and a matching one for myself. Anyone that has read the Dresden Files should get the reference.
Everyday Cosplay

I'm blue collar, so get little chance to dress up. Shame, it's quite nice.Orange Monkey said:Guys, LISTEN TO THIS GIRL, wear suits more often
As for covert geeky clothing.... I once got a sweater because it had a pattern almost identical to the one David Dixon wore when he played Ford Prefect in the Hitchhiker's Guide miniseries.
Even more covertly, I sometimes wear a theme t-shirt (I've got like fifty different ones) under my work shirt, including a few I made "myself" via sites like Zazzle and Cafepress. Touhou Project, Cthulhu Mythos, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, C64 games, The Divine Comedy, assorted webcomics, quantum physics, obscure defunct websites, Pet Shop Boys songs, the occult....
I can only recall purchasing an item of clothing because of a character in a movie. To this day, my coat of choice tends to be black, double breasted, wool, and as often as not best described as a Pea Coat because of the movie the Boondock Saints.
I suppose my attire generally matches that of the movies heroes. As we speak, I'm wearing brown leather boots (I have favored boots far longer than I knew about Boondock Saints and my time in the Army reinforced my love), blue jeans, a black unadorned t-shirt and I'm using my not-exactly-a-pea-coat (too long and it has a collar) as blanket stand in as it is quite cold in my apartment.

Oh. Fuck. No.Orange Monkey said:Guys, LISTEN TO THIS GIRL, wear suits more often
When you wear a suit and tie to work every day, you go home at night wishing you could burn it. they're generally (unless you pay through the nose for them) far less comfortable than the standard jeans/t-shirt combo, they lack the warmth of a hoodie or the resilience to mud and grime that most of my clothes have. I don't care whether it looks attractive or not - if a girl is looking for men in suits then she probably isn't my type anyway.
The Alien gear from your link is awesome. I didn`t know anybody made them. Thank you for that.
OT: Almost my entire wardrobe is made out of shirts with a reference or two to geeky subjects. Thank God I have a job without a dress code.

I have a pair of culflinks in the shape of a blocky white cross just like

Time to go irretrievably deep into fanboy territory and do some of this stuff.
I know I'll worry like crazy that I'll be found out, but I so want to anyway...

Geekshirts are awesome and all, but they make me a way too easy target for stereotyping, so for me those kind of shirts would only be allowed to wear in my own house or at geek conventions. So instead, I wear shirts that are geekish, but only to people who recognise it as what it is, and who are therefore a geek themselves. Which obviously makes the whole stereotyping thing a lot less worse. For example, I have a shirt with this [http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt5/hex1009/smiley.jpg&imgrefurl=http://quizilla.teennick.com/stories/11935552/how-to-destroy-twilight-and-its-characters-in-8-easy-steps&usg=__Pf12wIogMgxR2lrAgkEJKO13TYU=&h=300&w=300&sz=15&hl=nl&start=0&sig2=UVSSE4vVUNvy7NV6cO_nXA&zoom=1&tbnid=YP01YrCrzFIoZM:&tbnh=161&tbnw=161&ei=0zwKTa2mG8zsOafh7JIG&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfag%2Bsmiley%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26biw%3D1045%26bih%3D464%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=136&vpy=75&dur=1921&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=141&ty=59&oei=vTwKTe6RCo-o8QPGuZQZ&esq=3&page=1&ndsp=8&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0] print, and one with a Triforce in it that almost looks like some random tribal tattoo thing. I still don't wear those for job interviews obviously, but you get the point.
Whoooooah there, There is a significant amount of epic emanating from that hoodie!tDrakmeire said:

Where can you buy those? Or did you make it yourself?
Everyday cosplay is something I try to do somewhat, but I rarely see clothes that resemble characters costumes.
Mwahaha, now I just have to find a way of inscribing these [http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.usaanime.us/Claymore/Images/Claymore_anime_rank_symbols.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.usaanime.us/Claymore/ClaymoreBreakdown.htm&h=467&w=500&sz=24&tbnid=CZznUXu-Nr-izM:&tbnh=121&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dclaymore%2Bsymbols&zoom=1&q=claymore+symbols&hl=en&usg=__0xr7Hq07ifL2-pJkviBKFMLgt8s=&sa=X&ei=GUIKTcHtKYGBhQfb4YWVDw&sqi=2&ved=0CB0Q9QEwAA] on everything...
I frequently wear a pair of goggles (any day where it's not so cold I have to wear ear muffs or a hat) that I bought specifically because they're the same as the ones Ramona Flowers wears. Unfortunately it won't be so subtle when I dye my hair pink on tuesday.
She's talking about Harley Quinn, the Joker's sidekick (hence her added touch of the "J" necklace).Sampsa said:
After I finally got around to watching Firefly the first piece of clothing I got was a brown leather trench coat. I wear it all the time and when around people who have seen it I do hear the odd quote but not often. I'm considering expanding my secret cosplay wardrobe though.
I made it out of a clip-on tie by cutting off the back strip putting a piece of cardboard inside to make it stay solid and pined it to the back of the tie.bahumat42 said:
it's a little to thick though so I'll have to trim it a little for when I wear it next.
NOBODY GETS THE GREEN LANTERN LOGO?!?!?!Quaxar said:
WHAT KINDA BACKWARDS TOWN DO YOU LIVE IN DUDE?!?!?!
For shame for the geek community....*sigh*...
You must live in the middle of nowhere. We have people that get called out for sporting the Orange Lantern Logo, or the Red Lantern Logo.Quaxar said:
Everybody here tries to outdo each other with a combination of Geek and Obscure. It looks like I'm going to win with a Loading Ready Run t-shirt. I'm thinking the Runners shirt, but that will depend on what the LRR "Corporate" package was.
