Words like nerd and geek were thrown out on a regular basis whenever someone showed off their nerdom in a public place. Thanks to time, that’s no longer the case. Nerds have their own place in society. And one of the biggest platforms for them is gaming. So there can’t be any better way to show off your own geekiness (or mocking thereof) besides wearing it proud in Minecraft. Let’s take a look at some of the best nerdy-styled skins you can try on.
1. Half-Life Walter
Check Out This Skin While this is a list of “geeky” skins that fit real life, I think this is also a character straight from one of our favorite nerdy games. So Half-Life’s Walter makes it onto this list. He’s got the thick framed glasses, the balding hairline, and the lab coat to go with it. There’s no better way to wear your geek on your sleeve than with this skin. I mean, this could be the perfect look to be walking around with potions and monster eggs. Even if you don’t want to play with the Half-Life theme, it still fits.
2. Bill Gates
Check Out This Skin
What better way to show your geekiness than as one of the most successful CEO geeks of all time?
Bill Gates fits into this geek aesthetic for… obvious reasons.
Between the thick framed glasses, red turtleneck, and loafers, this is the perfect way to go.
This could be a great way to record some fun content with friends, too.
Whether you’re looking for a theme for your next video, or maybe you’re just wanting a more realistic skin for your everyday playthrough.
Bill Gates is here to save (or ruin) the day.
3. Nerd (Male)
Check Out This Skin There’s no better way to represent the nerd life than the traditional stereotypical look. You know the one… And with this skin, you get it all: the glasses, bowtie, and suspenders. While this is perfect for your everyday building in Minecraft, it could be even better for building some elaborate concept designs too. Lava draping over an all glass building? Who designed that? Obviously the nerdy kid.
4. The Nerd Girl
Check Out This Skin And for those of you that want the same style of a nerd, but in female form, here’s what we’ve got. Long hair, glasses, suspenders, and even a bowtie (seems to be the similar theme…) This all becomes the perfect ensemble for anyone wanting to show off another side of nerdom. While this skin does remind me of Steve Urkel, It’s also the perfect rendition of stereotypes we’ve seen in movies and other TV shows (that said, who doesn’t love Urkel?) So if you’ve got someone to play with, this girl skin & the prior male nerd skin go together perfectly. Maybe you could start a new Minecraft server.
5. Steve Jobs
Check Out This Skin Since we’ve already hit on Bill Gates, here’s his counterpart in the tech world, Steve Jobs. This skin is sophisticated and true to Steve, that I think it just fits so well. And funny enough, many might consider Steve Jobs more of a businessman than a nerd. So he offers a very unique look. The glasses with the stubble go together quite nicely here. And with Steve’s trademark black long sleeve shirt and blue jeans, you’ll be the talk of the Minecraft town.
6. Derpy Nerd
Check Out This Skin Ok, so we’ve hit on the traditional look of a nerd, but this one is a little more satire than anything. Derpy Nerd comes with a bowtie, suspenders, and khaki pants. Everything you would expect from the traditional geeky aesthetic. But this skin also comes with a derpy facial expression. If that’s what you’re after, well, here ya go. This would be great for anyone looking for reactions for their YouTube channel, or for players looking to perform a bit with friends for their stream. It might be a joke, but that’s a style of nerdiness too!
7. Nerd Girl with Bows
Check Out This Skin Remember that shy girl that used to sit alone, reading her book in the gym at school? This is epitome of what she encompassed. Light styled clothes, glasses (again), and pretty little pink bows in her hair. Or maybe this is still your style… Either way, no one is judging you anymore.
8. Gamer Boy
Check Out This Skin While we’ve hit the traditional look of the nerds, it’s time to hit on the other side of nerdiness. One that hits personally to most of us: Gamers. And this custom gamer-style boy skin comes with his stylish open button shirt, blue jeans, and headphones to tie it all in. Literally good enough for anyone that likes to focus on the jukebox, but it gives your land a more modern version of the nerd you’re looking to portray.
9. Christmas Nerdy Boy
Check Out This Skin While we’ve got a nerd for every situation, we almost forgot to hit on the holiday special nerd. And now you’ve got this skin ready to go for Christmas time! With a long sleeve turtleneck, a sweater vest, and glasses to make him feel like a nerd visiting home after a long semester, you’ve got it all. Plus, don’t forget the Santa hat to really bring that holiday cheer. Anyone that sticks in the snow biome would love this. And with that hat on, it also gives a “Where’s Waldo” feeling as well.
10. Nerd with Batman Shirt
Check Out This Skin One of the biggest ways for people showcase their favorite parts of nerdom has always been with their clothes. Graphic tees are a whole industry that we keep in business, just because of the creative ways these tees can help fans show off. And the title of this skin offers exactly what it says. With thick rimmed glasses and a dark Batman logo t-shirt, this boy character might be the best way to show off your fandom love (in Minecraft). And while this is actually part of a whole series, Batman has one of the biggest followings by far. So I’d say this one really deserve more play time.
