Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Dress like a gleek.

    This means anything a high-schooler would wear is fair game.

    Here are some ideas:
    Rachel Berry.

    This preppy look places emphasis on bows, knee socks, cardigans, stripes and flats.

    Tina Cohen-Chang.

    Tina's goth look favors black boots, fingerless gloves, and dark, multicolored hair.

    Mercedes Jones.

    This diva loves to wear loud patterns, bold colors, skinny jeans, and the occasional feather boa.

    Quinn Fabray.

    When Quinn isn't in her cheerleading uniform, you can find her in a dress, pastel cardigan, and matching flats.

    Kurt Hummel.

    Kurt's style is dressier than most of the Glee Club members.

    You can most often find him in a button down shirt, fitted pants, and a matching scarf.

    Flamboyant sweaters are another favorite.

    Finn Hudson.

    Finn is a varsity jock.

    As a result, you can often wearing his football jersey or letter jacket with a pair of jeans.

    Noah "Puck" Puckerman.

    Like Finn, Puck is a varsity jock, and dresses accordingly.

    I carry a rape whistle!). , To be a true gleek, you must know not only what's going on in the character's lives, but also in the lives of the actors who portray them.
