Dressing in a more "preppy" style?
Am thinking of switching my style up to that for a bit as I really want a change - any ideas on what items of clothing to wear/include?

Geeky in what sense?

Are there different senses? I just meant generally geeky... preferably not something cosplay-ish, though.
Acquire t-shirts like this:

Wear whatever you want on your legs.
Done.

Boil away.
My thinking is that you shouldn't dress geeky/nerdy unless you actually ARE a bit of a geek or nerd, and if you are, then it should come natural to you really, what to wear - because you'd wear your favourite sci-fi/geeky TV show or film t-shirts.
It's going to awkward for everyone involved if you wear a Star Trek t-shirt and someone makes the mistake of assuming you are into that kind of thing if you're not, just so you can look nerdy/geeky. More importantly, you'll embarrass the other person, for assuming based on your clothing choice that you are into the same things as they are.
I suggest sticking to whet you know, and not trying to be something you'r not, just because it's fashionable. If you have to wear a t-shirt that says 'geek' you probably aren't one.

This.
When I see them, or NERD, or whatever it either makes me laugh, have pity, or get angry.
Geeks around the world have taken what used to be an insult and reclaimed it as their identity, you can't just take it back

I'm not.
I meant a more conservative, tomboyish style. Not boyfriend style. Dunno what you'd call it but it looks more geeky/nerdy.

I'm not 100% sure what style you're talking about then. Have you got any examples?

Kind of like hoodies, plaid shirts or T-shirts, jeans, trainers/boots, very plain and simple?

Oh right. Surely that answers your own question then?

I need more stuff than that, though, or I'll have a very generic style
Even if people could just suggest random items of clothing along the same lines, that would be a good place to start, I guess.

qwertee.com is good for t-shirts for different 'fandoms', and play.com is pretty good for that kinda of clothing style in general.
