No blog related to TV Series's and fashion would be complete without an inspiration post on

The Big Bang Theory, which is practically televisions love letter to the geek world. Its a show
that manages to simultaneously mock and celebrate the enthusiastic obsessions that define
geekiness.

About The Big Bang Theory - The CBS sitcom, which first aired in 2007, revolves around the
lives of four socially awkward Caltech scientists and Penny, the pretty girl who lives next door. It
quickly became hugely popular and was TVs highest rated comedy. Much of the shows
humour comes from the contrast between the guys nerdy, intellectual antics and Pennys street
smarts and common sense. For instance, while Sheldon can name hundreds of Star Trek
factoids off the top of his head and solve quantum mechanics problems in his sleep, he cant
name a single Britney Spears song.

There's a truckloads outfits inspired by math, science, history, unravelling the mystery, and it all
started with a big bang! You may not be able to make sense of string theory, but you can
definitely make a statement with these Big Bang Theory inspired looks! The characters wear
quirky real-life clothes to which you can relate to easily and incorporate in your daily casuals.


Sheldon

Dr. Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, is highly idiosyncratic, arrogant, paranoid,
germaphobic, and altogether insufferable, but his lack of social graces is paired with a beyond-
genius intelligence level. He started college after 5th grade, earned his PhD at sixteen, and
loves reminding others of his intellectual superiority. Despite his super advanced mind, he can
be extremely childish when it comes to getting his way. Aside from science, his passions include
comic books, video games, sci-fi and fantasy, and paintball. Above all, he worships Star Trek,
considering it tantamount to religion. Sheldon doesnt care much about fashion, but hes pretty
consistent in his love of graphic tees and plaid anything.

Layer a long-sleeved shirt under a Green Lantern tee (or one with the superhero of your choice)
and top it off with a slouchy striped cardigan. Luckily, pattern mixing is hot right now, though
Sheldon would probably be horrified if he knew about his unintentional trendiness!
Unless youre feeling daring, full on plaid pants might be a bit too much instead, girls wear a
cute pair of plaid shorts with tights and guys stick to block colour denims or cargo shorts.
Finally, add fun oxfords and some quirky extras like comic book inspired ring and charm
necklaces. Decorate your favourite wall with posters in sync with Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard,
Spock, Sheldons new and improved version of the game or Penny! Penny! Penny! Warning
sign on the outside of your room.

Leonard

Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, played by Johnny Galecki, is Sheldons long- suffering roommate and
colleague. Although hes also a theoretical physicist and comic- book/ sci-fi /fantasy enthusiast,
he yearns for normalcy and a stable love life. Leonard finds Sheldons public antics incredibly
embarrassing and hes often left to clean up the messes that his roommate creates. He and
Penny have had an on -and -off - again relationship through the course of the show.

Leonards style reflects his desire to fit in: Unlike his crazily clad colleagues, he tries to keep his
clothing low- key. He typically pairs a graphic tee with a hoodie, cargo jacket, and Converse
sneakers. (This seems to be the de facto outfit of most TV hipster -nerds.) This ensemble is
quite similar to his, but with a slightly more feminine flair.
Since the pieces are simple, have some fun with the colour palette. Sunny yellow sneakers
provide a nice contrast to an otherwise cool toned outfit. Although Leonards t- shirts are usually
physics related, they're easy to play with. Complete your Leonard - inspired look with a tartan
messenger bag, thick rimmed glasses, and a dark hoodie. Add the nerd factor to your room with
Star Trek and Marvel Vs. DC Comics posters.

Penny

Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, is the quintessential girl next door. (Though, if you want to get
technical, she actually lives across the hallway.) Shes an aspiring actress/screenwriter, but
waitresses at The Cheesecake Factory to make ends meet. Penny is often baffled by the
guysbehaviour and geeky passions, but embraces their eccentricities. Likewise, the guys
especially Sheldon, often turn to her when they need advice about the real world.

Although she hails from Nebraska, Penny has the beach -babe look down pat. As a native of
Southern California, where denim cut -offs and Rainbow sandals reign supreme, I find her look
cute but not particularly innovative. Still, though, you cant go wrong with her easy and breezy
style. Penny wears lots of casual denim and bright florals. For daytime, pair this cheery blouse
and soft cardigan with short-shorts and flat sandals; switch to dark bootcut jeans and fun
wedges for a girls night out.
Sorry guys, no fashion tips for you here. But yeah, you can take inspiration from her on how to
dress up for a Halloween party if you dont want to show up as the Doppler Effect.

Howard

Howard Wolowitz, played by Simon Helberg, is an aerospace engineer and the only guy in the
group who doesnt have a PhD; to Howards chagrin, Sheldon never tires of reminding him of
this fact. Howard still lives with his overbearing mom but fancies himself quite the ladies man,
even though his verging on creepy advances are usually rebuffed. Eventually, he finds lasting
love with Bernadette after they bond over having overprotective mothers.

Howard loves his coloured jeans, plaid shirts, and loud belt buckles, but his signature clothing
item is definitely the turtleneck. Wear a layered turtleneck and utility shirt in neutral colours to let
the bright jeans take centre stage. Girls, add a dose of whimsy with subtle stripes and polka-
dotted shoes. And guys, wear your graffiti vans with the combination to break off the monotony.
You probably dont want to wear a Nintendo controller on your waist (but more power to ya if
you do), so skip the crazy belt buckle and show your quirkiness with some bright coloured
phone covers. Finally, Howard always has amorous intentions on his mind so wear an erotica
poster on your room's wall.

Raj

Dr. Rajesh Koothrapalli, played by Kunal Nayyar, is an astrophysicist and Howards best friend.
Hes originally from India, where he lived in luxury with his wealthy family. Despite his
comparatively meagre lifestyle in California, he loves American food and pop culture and is
terrified of being deported. Raj is extremely shy and incapable of talking to women when hes
sober. One sip of alcohol, though, and he loses all inhibitions.

Raj has a weakness for psychedelic patterns and an impressive collection of sweater vests.
(Seriously, he gives Neville Longbottom a run for his money). Layer a sleeveless sweater dress
over a subtly striped blouse for a preppy look; a polished blazer is a step up from Rajs favourite
purple track jacket. Channel Rajs love for print -mixing but limit the colour palette to avoid visual
overload. For some pizzazz, add an armful of Indian inspired bangles. Ironically, Rajesh doesn't
need alcohol to give fashion tips to college going chicks but guys can easily relate to his Indo-
Americano swag because that's the scene in the current scenario.

Bernadette

Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski, played by Melissa Rauch, is Pennys co- worker at
The Cheesecake Factory and has a doctorate in microbiology. Even though she doesnt always
understand his sense of humour, shes engaged to Howard, whom she frequently refers to as
her soul mate. Bernadette is usually sweet and cheerful, but when she loses her temper and
yells, her voice becomes raspy and she sounds just like Howards mom. (He finds this incredibly
sexy.) Like Penny, she has little interest in science fiction and comic books.

When Bernadette was first introduced, she only appeared in her Cheesecake Factory uniform.
Now that shes a regular character on the show, she gets to show off an adorable50s aesthetic,
often wearing girly floral dresses with full skirts and dainty cardigans.
Combine the colour scheme from her uniform with a retro silhouette for a bold but feminine look
: A tie -neck blouse will look darling tucked into a navy skirt, while a spotted mustard cardigan
and emerald belt add pops of colour. Complete the quirky-cute look with Mary Jane pumps, cat
eye sunglasses, and heart earrings.

Amy

Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, played by real- life neuroscientist Mayim Bialik, is a neurobiologist and
the newest addition to the Big Bang Theory cast. As a joke, Raj and Howard created a fake
profile for Sheldon on an Internet dating site, but were flabbergasted when the site matched
Sheldon with Amy, whos essentially a female version of Dr. Cooper. Sheldon and Amy respect
each others intelligence and started out as friends, though their relationship has since crossed
over into romance. Like Sheldon, shes well aware of her superior intellect and can be
annoyingly blunt. Unlike him, though, she desperately wants to be popular and to experience
the childhood things she missed out on, like slumber parties and having best friends.
(Unfortunately for Penny, who doesnt necessarily return her affections, Amy has chosen Penny
as her de facto BFF.)

Amy has an interesting style sense, to say the least she favours layered stripes, lots of pattern
mixing, and baggy skirts but the point is that she wears everything with confidence. Although
her ensembles arent particularly fashionable by normal standards, she always thinks of herself
as being a paragon of beauty and style, which I think is pretty admirable! Take a cue from her
confidence with a striped blazer, Peter Pan collared blouse, and denim skirt. Add some trendy
touches with thigh high socks, loafer platforms and a neon cross-body bag. Finally, put on a fun
ring to reference the tiara that Sheldon gives to Amy!
