Geek Fashion: Light Up Clothing

I love getting dressed up, but am often missing that something special that will make me stand out. LEDs and Fiber Optics to the rescue! Light up clothing can be subtle or shocking, but it will definitely catch people’s eye. Here are some sites and designers that specialize in the style:

CuteCircuit

The designers of Katy Perry’s dress for the MET Costume Institute Gala, CuteCircuit is the place to go for more upscale and fashion-forward designs. This dress is a ready-to-wear model influenced by Katy Perry’s design.

Flashion Statement

Looking for something a bit more casual? Flashion Statement creates light up shirts in women’s sizes–you can even order your own design! Great for your epic laser tag team.

Cool Glow

Want to try your hand at making your own light up clothing? Cool Glow has a variety of EL wires available, as well as other accessories like shoelaces.

If this is all a bit too much for you, perhaps you can start with a light up shoe clip. See a DIY post here!
