Made by Geeks For Geeks

Geek Tropical is a handcrafted clothing brand for your geeky side. Our nerd clothing brand hopes to enrich your life and aims to support the greater geek community.

Geek Tropical came about as we went on a search for nerd apparel for our own wardrobes. We were sadly disappointed to find a lack of originality, color, and options in the short sleeve button up space. As a result, we made it our mission to do something about it, and now we have multiple product options outside of Hawaiian shirts, like nerdy dresses and matching bucket hats.

Geek Apparel For You

Our goal is for you to feel like yourself in comfortable, high-quality, and hand crafted fabric that is sustainably made-to-order for you.

We accomplish this by partnering with a trusted print on demand shop in located in Vietnam. Using this method nothing goes to waste, and we avoid the "fast fashion" trend. Each individual shirt receives love and care as a completely handmade cut and sewn product made from raw fabric rather than screen printed on mass produced shirts.

Customer photo review of Cute Sea Slugs Button Up Shirt

Great design and great quality! Just on my first day wearing it I was assailed with compliments multiple times with people asking where I got it!

Customer photo review of Monster Rubber Duckies Button Up Shirt

My new favorite shirt! Print came out great, and the sizing is as described. The Geeknit material has a swimsuit-esque feel to it: it's smooth, breathable, would probably dry quickly if someone pushed me in a pool. Definitely recommend.

Great shirt! Thin but NOT too thin. Kept me cool in Texas heat. Wore it on the second day of school as a teacher. Really comfy, true to size.

Customer photo review of Episodic Owl Floral Curvy Button Up Shirt

I always have terrible luck with shirts even after measuring, so I paid a few extra bucks for an easy return. But it fits perfectly and I love it! I will be buying more designs.

Customer photo review of Cartoon Music Doodles Curvy Button Up Shirt

Love the fit! I’m 5’4” about 118lbs and the shirt fits great. Not too tight and hangs perfect in the right spots. The fabric feels light and breezy, I will be ordering more in different prints.

Customer photo review of Psychedelic Mushrooms Button Up Shirt

I love the shirt. Care was taken to line the patterns up across the buttons, which is nice. I’ll definitely buy another Geek Tropical shirt.

Customer photo review of Book Nerd Long Sleeve Button Up Shirt

LOVE IT! Full disclosure. As the long sleeves are only sold in Mens sizes, I bought a MEDIUM and had it altered to make it a bit more feminine. The tailor added darts in the back (Thus the mirror selfie). It's still little big but I am very happy and comfortable. For reference - 5'10/156lbs/5th letter of the alphabet.

Customer photo review of Sootsprites Anime Long Sleeve Midi Dress

I really love this dress with the caveat that it's more snug than I'd have liked, especially in the chest (so fair warning if you are well-endowed). Despite that, it's still wearable and surprisingly comfortable and well made. I got many compliments from people, both geeks who understood the design and normal folks who just thought it looked cute. I'd definitely buy again, just maybe a size bigger.

Customer photo review of Purrrfect Library Curvy Button Up Shirt

I love this shirt, I usually have clothing texture issues but the texture perfectly fine for me which is always a bonus. I wore it a super hot day and I didn't have any problems staying cool or any problems with it feeling unbreathable or gross from sweat.

Customer photo review of Episodic Skull Lavender Curvy Button Up Shirt

Everything was perfect. My shirts fit exactly as expected and the quality was great. The website was easy to use and navigate. The information about shipping was transparent and easy to understand. Literally no notes!

Customer photo review of Human Anatomy Red Curvy Button Up Shirt

The fit is great! As a pear shaped person, I usually have to choose between the chest being too big, or the hips being to small, but this isn't the case here. I'm not a fan of how slippery the fabric is, because I prefer to cuff my sleeves and they refuse to stall rolled up. If there was an optional for a natural material, it would be the perfect shirt!

Customer photo review of Toucan Tropica Sleeveless Dress

Surprisingly cooling fabric. I was a little anxious about the fit on someone plus size because I didn't see many pictures of plus size folks in the reviews, but I like it. I am a 57" bust, 51" waist, 59" hip, 300 lbs and 5'5". I bought a 4x and found it to be pretty roomy. For a more fitted look I would size down. It is true to size in the bust, with slightly stretchy fabric, and lots of room in the waist/hips. The shoulders are a little big but it's not too bad. The white print is not see through (on both this and the memphis math print I bought), which I was a little worried about. Overall, I'm a fan, and plan to buy more dresses in different prints.

Customer photo review of Monster Rubber Duckies Sleeveless Dress

I received the Halloween duck Hawaiian shirt from my wife as a gift, so I returned the favor and bought her the dress. She loves it and it has pockets! I myself am very disappointed with the dress.... I know have to share all the fricking compliments we get about the shirt and dress. Yes I was talked into wearing them out together.... Jeff
