There's a reason the programmer stereotype is t-shirts and jeans. These clothes are comfortable, require very little maintenance, are cheap and require very little thought.

And they are simply always stylish, fit perfectly and you can hardly go wrong in them. Right? RIGHT???



Until you're going out on a first date at a nice restaurant, you're running late, and you discover that your shirt with buttons is in the dirty clothes.


Thats the advantage of geek clothing - you own several of each item based on how often you wear them, how many times you wear them without washing.

Hence:

1 suit

3 proper shirts

3 pairs of jeans

10 black t-shirts
