Glasses: The New “It” Accessory, Thanks to Celebrity Appeal

This is a guest post by Sarah Harris of Adiamor Engagement Rings.

Who would have thought the day would come when glasses were considered cool? Sunglasses, sure, but prescription glasses? Not many. Most of those needing corrective help have embraced the contact lenses, with two week and daily disposables making them an easy option. But somehow, someway, glasses have made a huge comeback in the last few years. No doubt due to – what else – celebrity influence. Before that, glasses used to be the calling card of the geek. But now, they’re a symbol of intelligence, wit, humor, and style – geek chic. And they’ve become the latest fashion accessory.

Both men and women are wearing glasses now more than ever. For women, the trend was really brought to the forefront by SNL’s Tina Fey. She has almost single handedly garnered the trend and made glasses synonymous with funny, sexy, and intelligent. She even reinvigorated the classic 50′s style frames to make those, dare we say it, cool. Men have been chipping in on the style’s comeback too. Stars young and old such as Seth Rogan, Johnny Depp, Adam Sandler, and Jack Nicholson all wear glasses in their off camera lives. It also doesn’t hurt that chic designers each make their own frames these days. Prada, Chanel, Cartier, you name it – they’re all cashing in on the trend.

Since their recent renaissance, glasses have become a fantastic accessory to have in your arsenal. Because you wear them on your face, they can make a drastic difference in your look. You can have a pair for work, a pair for home, a pair for going out on the town, prescription pairs, sunglasses – you name it. With designers more and more keen to keep the trend going, you can find many different options to go along with different looks, outfits, and jewelry. Don’t be afraid to spice it up, glasses are cool now!
