USB Necktie -- Nerdiest Fashion Accessory Ever?

by Peter Mychalcewycz on April 15, 2009 at 07:09 AM

We here at Switched have always been proponents of geek chic, so we were a bit surprised to come across something that made us really examine exactly how far we'd go in order to truly geek out.

The USB tie (yup, seriously) is your dad and grandpa's standard tie except for one very obvious addition: a functional USB input that sticks out of the bottom. At present, the tie is merely one of the many industrial design concepts conjured up by the German design collective Dialog05, but we are sure that any day now someone out there will show up to a meeting wearing it. Its geek force is simply too strong for some to resist.

The funny thing is, the tie looks pretty damn good. [From: Dialog05 Via: Walyou]
