Nobody wanted to be called that, and when the day came for you to try on your new tandem of glasses, it was a complete nightmare.
"Only the nerds wore glasses," said Meredith Klein, a DePaul postpositive major. Her first eyeglasses were anything but chic. They were plain, round ones with metal frames.
Fast-further to 2012 and Klein purposely bought a pair of big, square frames that went with her phizog shape. She wears contacts, but she likes wearing her glasses too. There was no urgency from her parents to buy the glasses, but Klein bought them simply because she wanted to. Their lambent blue color makes her stand out.
Klein is definitely not the only one to use glasses as an accessory. They are appearing everywhere as an up staple; as versatile as a pair of boots or a belt.
So, what happened to boost pretend "nerdy" glasses suddenly cool to wear? Perhaps people got tired out of hiding their glasses, and wanted to show the world that they are not embarrassed to wear them.
A shifting grasp of glasses in the media has also helped. Once upon a time, pop-culture heroes like Superman only tempered to glasses as a disguise, something to imply dullness. Today, beloved icons such as Klaus from "A Series of Luckless Events", Molly from the "American Girls" series, and, of course, Harry Monkey about, have gone a long way to show the world - and elementary school kids everywhere - that glasses don't augur what they used to. These characters wear glasses, and they are clever, adventurous, and sporadically save the world. They are awesome.
