#OOTD 48 - Chic Geek Collections - Louis Vuitton #Nemeth 2/6
Louis Vuitton's men's collection for AW15 looked to the British designer and artist, Christoper Nemeth, for inspiration. Nemeth considered making clothes as one of his artistic practices. Amongst his trademarks are deconstructed tailored suits and drawings/illustrations depicting thread, needle and hands - the making of clothes - which are also featured on clothing accessories, furniture and more. Born in Birmingham, England, he moved to London in 1979 to study painting at Camberwell College of Arts.

#OOTD TheChicGeek & Marks & Spencer Suit Tips - Sponsored
Marks & Spencer has asked TheChicGeek for his top tips when it comes to looking for and buying a new suit. #TheChicGeekSays 1. Fit is the most important thing when buying a suit. Find items in your size first, then decide on the style and material. Pay particular attention to the shoulders, cuffs and hems of the trousers. 2. Jacket sleeves should stop at the base of the thumb and trousers should gently break on the shoe. 3. The length of the jacket should be in proportion to your height. If you are taller, then opt for a longer jacket.…

#OOTD46 - #BeachGEEK 4/4
The British have always had a very particular look when they hit the beach. Every Bank Holiday it used to be a case of taking one's jacket off, rolling up your trousers, knotting a hanky on your head and paddling up to your ankles, well, it seems not much has changed! Stripey windbreak in hand, TheChicGeek hit the shingle in this retro beach look of white wife-beater and pastel pyjama bottoms. Catching up on his reading and admiring the view, TheChicGeek is the geek version of a stick of rock: it runs all the way through him. #BeachGEEK Credits -…

#OOTD45 - #BeachGEEK 3/4
Are you BeachGEEK body ready?! Well, no matter the answer - to be honest, I'm not quite sure what beach body ready means anyway!! - monochrome hides a multitude of sins while being as timeless as a 99 ice cream. Strip the colour out of your beachwear and look for black and white stripes in various thicknesses. Team with dark sunglasses and matching sandals and you're good to go. Just don't forget to apply lots of sun protection so you don't get a 'newspaper tan' - black, white and red all over! #BeachGEEK Credits - Striped Top - Burton, Bag…
