We've come a long way since color-coordinated pagers and personalized flip phones with quirky antenna trinkets. We've entered a new, stylish, realm of high-tech, and not to downplay ornate iPhone cases and designer Kindle Fire stands, but the latest trend in accessories beats all of your previous geek-chic embellishments.
If the recent announcement of Tory Burch's exclusive partnership with FitBit, a new fitness tracker, is any indication, the tech accessories business is in full swing. Why we're into them this season? Along with helping us stick to our resolutions and giving us an edge in the office, these multitasking pieces actually look good. Vain? Sorry, not sorry.
Kick your style game into high gear with these geek-chic pieces.

Who knew you could wear your phone charger (while transferring files, uploading music and downloading photos) so elegantly?
