Wear these for the love of the game—the black and white checkerboard cufflinks, that’s what.
It is never too late to express how much you love flexing those muscles with anyone, big or small. Some people tend to take advantage of you because of your looks. Don’t let them do that again. If they want competition, give them a legitimate one by challenging them to a game of chess. You know you’ll beat them. And to give yourself a prize, why not buy yourself a pair of vintage swank cufflinks?
It seems that most of the people you meet who knows how much you prefer a game of chess to a bunch of alcohol-induced chicks would think of you as a nerd who does not know a thing about the real world and who does not even know how to have fun and how to take things a little lightly. Prove them wrong! You are different but that does not necessarily mean that you aren’t fun, does it?
You should also deconstruct the stereotype that nerds have no fashion sense. Truth is that they do ! It’s just different from the rest of the world. They care about how they look and that’s exactly why they don’t often go against the flow when dressing up, right ? They have an image to preserve and the clothes that they wear gives them the privilege to preserve that image.
Take for example, if they are required to go to a black tie event and must wear a pair of designer cufflinks, they won’t be wearing the traditional ones most men of their age would wear. They would rather get a pair of vintage swank cufflinks to match their suits. And mind you, it would look good !
