Fall is here and the con hallways have started to turn into runways! Turn heads by letting your gear do the talking for you. Just because you’re a nerd, doesn’t mean that you have to dress poorly or cannot level yourself up! One of the easiest ways to make a fit uniquely yours is through the use of accessories. You can easily go from “nice outfit” to “that’s a whole vibe” with just a bit of secret sauce.
Below are 24 of our favorite Blerd accessories that we recommend. These will help keep your crown protected, your hands free, your style loud, and let others know you’re a part of the Blerd community. Most are available in The Blerd Shop, but I sprinkled in a few Blerd community-made pieces we love too so that you can support other creators directly:
Why this matters: There are plenty of Black nerd creators that need your support. Often, accessories provide greater margins for Black brand owners to help make their businesses more sustainable. Without support, these businesses will not continue to flourish and representation in the space decreases.
1) The Official Blerd Camo Durag
One of our most popular accessories over the years is The Blerd Camo Durag. When asked “Why Blerd, Why Not Just A Nerd“, part of that response is the hair. It’s represented in our logo. Protecting your crown whether its in an everyday streetwear fit or cosplay is important. Creating products that resonate with the intersection of Black + Nerd culture is an essential part of the Blerd DNA. The Blerd Camo Durag is an inexpensive way to let them know, I’m not just a nerd, but a Blerd.
2) The Blerd Bonnet
Blerd released The Blerd Bonnet 2 years ago and it was also one of our hottest selling items. The Blerd Bonnet is fully reversible. It has the classic Blerd Camo pattern on one side. The reverse side has a simple black base with the Blerd logo centrally located. We got feedback directly from women on our team while designing this product, making sure that we implemented features like wrappable straps so it’s comfy to wear while sleeping or on the go.
3) The Blerd Camo Cowboy Hat
Blerd is a southern based company. With the rising popularity of cowboy hats, logically we made a Blerd Cowboy Hat. What makes the Blerd Cowboy Hat bit special is the iconic Blerd Camo band. It also features satin lining on the inside. It’s Black, nerdy, and Americana all wrapped into one product. Whether you are attending a Beyonce concert, rodeo, or your favorite Texas based nerd convention, The Blerd Camo Cowboy Hat is the accessory for you!
4) Blerd Community Pick: Lyeinani – Gear 5 Mini Tote
Lyeinani is a Black-woman owned brand that has been around for years! The brand focuses on putting out high quality pieces and the owner takes a lot of care in the process. The Gear 5 Mini tote is a leather bag that is One Piece inspired. It is even a cross Blerd community collaboration with the art being created by Ozzy Da Vyrus.
5) Blerd Community Pick: Kembeckled – Doctor V2
Another Black-woman owned brand in the Blerd community is Kembeckled. This brand focuses heavily on accessories and you cannot go wrong with most of them. Kembeckled even sell kids accessories and my daughter loves her bonnet from them. The Doctor V2 Crochet Hat is an easy and fashionable way to show off your fandom and also support this creator.
6) Blerd Camo V2 Trucker
Blerd really went crazy with releasing hats this year…I love hats though. The Blerd Camo V2 Trucker is an evolution from the first sold out Blerd Trucker hat we released a few years back. The Blerd Camo Trucker V2 is one of our most detailed items. The hat has the Blerd logo in towel embroidery, Blerd Camo mesh, official Blerd labels on the inner tape and on the snaps, and Blerd Camo on the underbill. This is a statement piece that doesn’t need a lot of explaining.
7) The Blerd Beanie
Blerds love beanies…so we made a Blerd Beanie! The Blerd Beanie features a premium embroidered Blerd Face Logo on the front, satin inner lining for comfort and protection, and an official Positivity Pink Blerd label for an accent touch. Whether you are wearing it during an online gaming session or simply enjoying the colder weather, the Blerd Beanie is perfect for adding simple style to your nerd fit.
8) Blerd Community Pick: Otaka House – Kuro Ichigo Weekender
Otaka House is another Black-women owned business that was created by a couple of the members of Black Girls Anime. They are based in our home state of North Carolina and specialize in anime bags. The Kuro Ichigo Weekender is a great choice for the nerdy traveler that wants to express their fandom. I am a fan of this item in particular because of its unisex appeal and the black will keep it from looking dingy if you use it for the gym.
9) Blerd Community Pick: GOLDN – Black Law Scrunchie
GOLDN is a Black-woman co-owned brand that focuses primarily on loungewear and haircare. Blerd has even collaborated with them on the past with the GOLDN x Blerd shorties! One Piece fandom is heavy in the Blerd Community and this no doubt a simple piece that gives a nod to the Straw Hat Crew. The GOLDN Black Law Scrunchie comes in multiple sizes to keep your hair in place with comfort and style.
10) Blerd Camo Bucket Hat
I know…another hat! Chris bugged me to release a bucket hat for years, so we finally did it this past summer. The Blerd Camo Bucket Hat features the Blerd Face logo embroidered on the front, Blerd Camo on the brim, and satin lining on the inside.
11) Blerd Sports Socks
You can be in Blerd all the way down to the socks now! With the release of the Blerd Sports Collection, it made sense to release a pair that you can hoop, run, or just chill in. We experimented a lot before figuring out the right material blend that provided performance, comfort, and stayed dry. These have the Blerd logo on both sides and come in M, L, and XL to fit any adult foot.

19) Blerd Camo Leather Backpack
The Blerd Camo Leather Backpack was birthed when a crappy bag I had at a convention fell apart. I was like if I’m going to carry a bookbag all day, it might as well be something with a bit more flair. This is one of the first products to ever feature the Blerd Camo pattern on it.
