Get ready for the Geek invasion as cool reading glasses are taking the UK fashion scene by storm and making its mark in the world of funky accessories.
Bleach blonde cheerleaders are asked to step aside this season because the geeks are back – and this time they are here to stay. Fashioning funky reading glasses, UK spectacle wearers are bringing a whole new meaning to ‘geek-chic’.
‘Geek-chic’ once embellished the UK fashion scene through bold stripes, contrasting colours, cute cardigans and nerdy jumpers. Inspired by school uniforms, this look was dissected and incorporated with the girly-chic style to produce the ‘geek-chic’ look.
Today, this style can be achieved almost immediately with a pair of fashionable reading glasses. When once considered as an inconvenience in everyday life, designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karen Millen and Versace have turned one of life’s nuisances into one of the biggest fashion statements of the century.
Gone are the days that being long-sighted were a hassle as trendy men and women everywhere are sporting a sexy, sophisticated look with cool reading glasses.
Discover Your Inner Geek with Sexy Reading Glasses
Smart is the new sexy this season and the selection of reading glasses in the UK has never been more exciting. UK retailers for reading glasses continue to grow as the trend makes a lasting mark in the fashion world.
Celebrities and TV heroes have led the way, from the likes of the heart-warming sitcom character Ugly Betty, singing sensation Anastacia and bubbly TV personality Ruby Wax.
Pulling off the Geek-Chic Look
Self confessed geeks may have a slight advantage when it comes to pulling off the notoriously popular geek-chic style. But jocks and prep girls need not be discouraged as the look is simply a clever combination of accessories. To transform geek to chic, you will need:
- Stylish reading glasses – finding the right pair of frames for your face shape is important so your granny’s old reading glasses from 1952 will probably not give you the desired effect.
- Retro accessories – Real geeks have geeky pastimes such as computer games, science fiction films and comic books. To emulate this, wear accessories or printed t-shirts that show your passions, heroes and interests.
- Understated hair styles – Hair that is understated will give you that desired geeky edge, so give big beehives and classic up dos a miss.
