As the co-founder and CEO of Apple, Steve still somehow manages to look good at the same time. Steve’s look demonstrates a great choice when it comes to glasses. If you don’t want to wear contacts, a great alternative is frame-less glasses! They offer the look of contacts with the comfort of glasses. They go with any outfit and personality and they are very light, and comfortable. Steve also achieves a well put-together look by keeping his hair very short. Remember if you are losing your hair or going gray the best thing to do is cut your hair short and keep it well-groomed. Don’t try to cover up a bald spot with a ridiculous comb over. And if you are going grey, dying your hair every couple of months will probably end up being too much work. 
Mark is the co-founder and CEO of the oh-so-popular online social networking website Facebook. His look is young and fresh. This geek looks almost as cool as his website! If you have an outgoing personality and would like to go for a younger look, feel free to jazz up your wardrobe with a burst of colour. A bright, collared shirt with a dark suit will look great together while a brightly coloured tie over a solid coloured shirt is a fun way to add some personality to your look. When wearing a tie remember to keep it at a medium thickness and the tip of the tie should hang down to the middle of your belt buckle. Please try to avoid ties with comic patterns or festive themes. You never want to risk having your clothes give off a better sense of humour than your own. 
Cory meets our nerd criterion by being a blogger, journalist and sci-fi author. He is well known for serving as co-editor of the blog Boing Boing. Cory is a perfect example of glasses done right. Although we suggest that one wear contacts rather than glasses, Cory’s thick, black frame glasses are a bold and stylish statement. They scream out “Yes, I’m a geek and I’m proud of it.” And remember boys, the most attractive feature to a woman is always confidence! Keep in mind however that bold glasses such as these require a bold personality. If you don’t like to stand out in a crowd, this may not be the choice for you. Cory also scores points for layering his clothing. A blazer over a t-shirt is always a good choice for a casual yet put-together look. The blazer says “I’m a grown up and I’m classy” while the T-shirt allows you to display your personality by sporting an 80’s rock band logo or a cool graphic tee. Cory is also on the ball by sticking to dark neutral tones – always a safe bet! 
Ross may be a fictional character but the geeky paleontologist scores high marks when it comes to fashion. Ross always dressed in a mature, well-groomed manner. His hair was always short and neat with just enough gel to keep it looking stylish, not greasy. His character opted for collared shirts instead of sloppy t-shirts, and pants or jeans in neutral tones and never too form-fitting or too tapered. Pay attention to the small details in his wardrobe. He always wore belts with his pants and a nice watch is a great touch as well. In one very memorial episode Ross took our number one golden rule went it comes to fashion: ask a woman for advice!! He wanted to impress a date and decided to have Phoebe and Rachel take him shopping for some stylish clothes to wear. Although we think this is a great idea, don’t make the grave mistake that he made and take the wrong bag by mistake. Ross’s look is a bit on the high maintenance side of things but if it’ll help you score a girl as hot as Rachel then maybe it’s worth it?! 
John is chief information officer of Harvard Medical School, chief information officer of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, chairman of the New England Health Electronic Data Interchange Network (NEHEN), chief information officer of the Harvard Clinical Research Institute (HCRI), and an associate professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School. Quite the long list of achievements, but the only thing we are going to praise him for in this blurb is his ability to look good! If you are going on a date or a night on the town, John’s outfit is the perfect choice. Dress semi-formal with a well fitted blazer but don’t over do it with a collared shirt and tie. Dressing in all dark colours is a hot look and will give you a mysterious allure. A monochromatic outfit also gives the illusion of being taller and thinner. Be careful however when dressing in all black; this might move your mysterious look into a more gothic look. Most dark colours will look good together but avoid pairing black with navy blue or dark brown. Substituting black with charcoal grey is good alternative. Adding some accessories works well too, such as a metal watch or a simple belt with a silver buckle, but no gold chains please!! 
Kevin, founder and chief architect of Digg.com, is a cool and trendy looking entrepreneur. We love how he has layered a golf shirt with a t-shirt underneath and the colours are well matched with nothing too bright or flashy. His jeans are also a great example of how your causal pants should fit. They sit about 2-3 inches below the belly button and the pant leg is relaxed with the leg almost touching the floor. We also love how his jeans are slightly faded. Look for jeans with this faded look but make sure you don’t take it too far and end up with acid wash jeans. The faded section of the jean should not look like a completely different colour. It should be only slightly lighter than the rest of the jean.
