subject: Branding Yourself With A Sophisticated And Sexy Look [print this page] When did eyeglasses start making people look intelligent and attractive? It seems not too long ago people categorized wearing glasses as nerdy. Media had saturated movies and television with the stereotypical "librarian with plastic dark rimmed glasses" or "dorky-looking computer scientist" images for decades. Children did not want to get glasses because they were afraid to be labeled as geeks. However, over the years, the image has changed. Intelligence is beginning to be recognized as an attractive trait in a backlash against the condescending view of the "nerd".
So why do glasses make people look smart? The typical images consist of studious, wide reader, and knowledgeable. Historically, people who could actually afford glasses were the upper classes; they generally were better educated. Of course, eyeglasses are very common nowadays. Brands such as Gucci, Ray Ban, and Prada offer great style glasses with amazing prices.
Wearing glasses is no longer geeky; it is geek chic. "Geek chic" has become a trend because of the glamorization of the "geek culture" in the last decade. It is merely a fashion term today, a way for people to express themselves through accessories like glasses.
Glasses have become a major part of personal image and expression. Celebrities like Elton John, and Tina Fey wear glasses as part of their presentations. But finding the right fit can be challenging. Depending on their facial shapes, different types of glasses have different effects. Spectacles make people's eyes look larger; they bring more attention to the eyes. A right fit can enhance your look and de-emphasize certain parts of the face you don't like. They give your personality a new dimension and make your eyes look more attractive.
Wearing glasses no longer means you have bad eyesight. You are branding yourself with a sophisticated and sexy look.
