Crew Cuts & Nerdy Fashion

The nerd style mostly involves dressing formally, but adding to it a little bit of funk. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea though every other celebrity is trying to dabble with this unusual style.

Whether it’s a thick pair of Clark Kent glasses or a neatly done crew cut, the nerdy fashion has truly arrived this season and is well on its way to being the next big style statement. There are plenty of celebrities rocking this style with a hint of their personal taste. Here are few of them and how they’re flaunting it:

Justin Timberlake

The ladies’ man, J. T, has been flaunting the nerd fashion style shamelessly from head to toe. His of late and consistent hairstyle is a clean cropped crew cut with a pair of thick, black framed glasses.

This style suits him quite a bit and he is among the few celebrities who truly know how to work this style to his benefit.

Whether it’s a tuxedo or plain old jeans-and-tee, Justin is aware that accessories like peacock suspenders and belts can enhance the overall look.

Scarlett Johansson

One of the divas willing to brave this style statement is Scarlet Johansson. She is a true example of how to personalize any style to suit you without taking extreme measures.

Though many female celebrities such as Rihanna and Miley Cyrus are content to hack off their locks for something more sheer and cutting edge, Scarlett preferred arranging her hair in such a manner that make them appear more short and nerd fashion-appropriate.

She pulled them in a beautifully done side bouffant, some nude make up and a pair of thick, black framed glasses and she is good to go for a Comic Con.

Traevon Jackson

Traevon Jackson may not be rocking any nerdy outfits, but he is worth a mention here because no one boasts a crew cut the way that he does.

Jackson carries a sharp edged crew cut that brings all the attention to this finely chiseled face and, though not intentionally kept, his light beard and mustache give him the look of a newbie at college who has that distinctly nerd sense of style innate to him.

Justin Bieber

Bieber is one of the celebs who needs to work a little bit on managing this style yet is trying to make an effort at being nerdy. The hairstyle is definitely the key areas that need a little bit of work.

The tousled-haired teenage heartthrob would be quite amiss with a crew cut, but his typical all-over-the-place hairstyle isn’t helping to add to his nerd look. His personalization of the thick framed glasses from black to white is very much a plus to his own style statement.
On the other hand, his need for big heavy jackets and boy band clothes really mess up the groove of serious nerd style. Perhaps a few sleeveless sweaters with some funky sweaters and the age old jeans and tee would help a bit.

Bring out the nerd in you this season. Whether it’s a haircut, hairstyle or a complete wardrobe change, if nerdy is who you’re, flaunt it like one of these stars or add your own personal touch to this growing style statement.

BarberShopBlog Interviews Wisconsin Badger Point Guard Traevon Jackson

If you had to shoot 10 free throws in your driveway right now, how many would you make? 10 out of 10, you say? Sure thing buddy.

Now, imagine you are doing it in a 20,000 seat arena. Now, imagine you are doing it in a 20,000 seat arena that is sold out. Now, imagine you play in the Big Ten and you are on the road playing the Indiana Hoosiers. Add to the mix that everyone knows your dad and people you don’t even know are talking bad about him. And, you’re basically running around in your underwear.

How many free throws out of 10 could you hit, again? Grazing the rim would be an accomplishment. Traevon Jackson does this every night and hits 8 out of 10 consistently. Check out this interview we did with him.

What’s the most annoying or creative heckling you have heard in any Big Ten arena?
“A lot of stuff about my dad, but I’ve heard that forever so it’s rare I hear anything new. Honestly, I don’t know. There was this one lady at Indiana after we beat them. It was after the game and I was walking off the court and she was just sitting there on the sidelines. I was walking off the court and apparently I was smiling and she said, “There’s nothing to be smiling at!” It caught me off guard and I thought, “Why are you so mad?” That’s one thing that comes to mind. Fans always say “Jimmy’s better!’ (laughing) but I’m so focused on the game I don’t even pay attention except at maybe at a dead ball.”

Is there added pressure based on who your dad is to succeed? What’s the dynamic of that like?
“Growing up, I felt it more than I do now, but now I don’t even think about it at all, actually. The pressure that I feel now the most is pleasing the Lord. That may sound cliché, but that’s an everyday type of task and the biggest thing for me. As long as I continue to grow in that aspect, there is no other question.”

Who would win a game of one on one right now?
“Oh, me of course (laughing). Easily. He can beat me in golf and all the other, cards, all that stuff, but he’s not beating me on the court.”

How did him moving, playing for 12 different NBA teams, impact you as you were growing up?
“It was great. I got to go to a lot of different cities and see a lot of places I wouldn’t have probably otherwise seen. But, just from watching him, I got to really go thru and experience his career. He started out as a top guy in the league and eventually became a productive role player. Just seeing how he handled it was awesome.  It taught me no matter what, and I think about it now when I go through adversity, I never saw him put his head down, he always found a way, just like my mom- keep working hard and good things will come.”
