Gadget Accessories: Are These Do’s Or Don’ts?

If you’re going to sport a full-on utility belt*, as opposed to a more diminutive one, is it necessary that you also wear some legit combat gear, ninja boots, or a Batman cape?

Or are bikini-clad, big sunglasses-wearing, cigarette-smoking 20-somethings somehow entitled to co-opt anything and everything when it comes to fashion?

After the jump, other geeky tech accessories that are difficult to pull off, unless maybe you are a bikini-clad 20-something*…

*Disclaimer: I’m just making conversation. I don’t really care what anyone wears.**

**Actually, I lied. No one should wear this booze belt.

Hip Holsters

Just cause the word “hip” is in the description, doesn’t make it so… or does it?

Shoulder Holsters…

…of any kind

Wearing this thing without a jacket is show-offish. Wearing it with a jacket makes no sense: Just put your stuff in your jacket’s inner pockets. What’s that? You’re jacket doesn’t have inner pockets. Go to a tailor and have some put in.

Painted Headsets (esp Animal Print)

If you’re gonna wear one, why attract even more attention to it?

USB Wristbands

I actually bought one. Seemed like a good idea at the time. WRONG. The fit is uncomfortably loose and impossible to adjust. Mine made me look like a 7-year-old girl, too. Get a thumb drive for your keychain. Better yet: keep all your data in the cloud.

Got any others that you love, hate or love to hate? Let us know in the comments…
