Nerd glasses: poor eyesight has never been sexier!

Published on July 25, 2013

Nerd glasses: poor eyesight has never been sexier!

Oversized reading glasses have become the latest geek-chic fashion accessory for men and women.

'Nerd glasses' are essentially oversized reading glasses. Whereas once they were associated with bookworms, librarians, and nerds, today wearing bold reading glasses has become the latest cool, sexy and sophisticated look in the geek-chic trend.

Somewhat surprisingly, this latest look is very much a unisex style. Cool nerd glasses were originally associated with the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer model - bold square frames. Since then, as the style has become increasingly popular, other designs are also common, but they share the same essential characteristics - nerd glasses usually have slightly oversized, bold, dark frames, but they can be either rounded or square.

This style has often been described as a 'vintage' style, and they are certainly reminiscent of the kinds of glasses worn by my grandparents (especially the ones with tortoiseshell frames). Today, however, this vintage style coupled with casual, modern clothes creates a sexy, sophisticated look on both men and women.

The look has become so popular even people who don't need reading glasses for their eyesight are wearing nerd glasses without prescription lenses! They have become a purely aesthetic fashion accessory. And they are definitely very sexy on some people...

So, do you need to wear glasses for you eyesight? Now is the time to put away your contact lenses and enjoy this popular style! The Daily Mail has even jumped on this latest trend and given tips on how best to pull off the look, have a read!

And if you need any more convincing that nerd glasses truly can be cool, sexy and sophisticated, have a look at these photos!
