Get a Little Geek with Your Chic

If you’ve watched any award shows thus far this year, you’ll have noticed all these A-List celebrities sporting beautiful gowns and expensive tuxedos with a glamorous pair of geek chic eyeglasses. That’s right, thick rimmed, slightly oversized eyeglasses.

The term ‘geek’ was not a title anyone wore proudly back in the day. It wasn’t intended to be worn with pride. Associated with overwhelming intelligence, thick glasses, fitted clothes (possibly suspenders) and absolutely nothing fashionable, there was a solid line in the sand between being a geek and not. And nobody wanted to be pushed over that line.

Until now.

The Return of the Geek (Geek Chic Eye Wear, of course!)

After years and years running away from geek-dom, the best of the best, the coolest of the cool are now running towards it full speed. And they’re calling it: Geek Chic. (Revenge is not only sweet, but also trendy!)

From celebrities like Anne Hathaway and musicians like Alicia Keys, it’s finally chic to be geek! And the signature piece to any geek chic outfit: thick rimmed glasses.

It’s no secret. Whether you rock a Wayfarer™ or just an oversized pair, these big, bold frames are the key element to this look. Designers like Ray-Ban^®, Gucci^® and Coach^® have jumped on this trend and are producing some of the hottest geek chic eyeglasses to ever exist.

But the trick is to find which pair of geek chic works for you. Like any other pair of specs, you can’t just pick any pair and think you’re chic. Everything we’ve said about face shape, frame color applies to geek chic, too. Granted, black is still the ultimate geek chic statement color, but the modern geek now has the opportunity to customize any look with a variety of color and shape frames.

So, go out there. Figure out what works for you, and proudly (not to mention super fashionably) geek up!
