I remember when I first learned I needed eyeglasses. I was in first grade and couldn't read the chalkboard our teacher had up. We were learning cursive and my penmanship was suffering.
Back then, those obnoxious lenses in front of your eyes were still a death wish. Popularity suicide. I xan still gear halls echoing, “Hey, four-eyes!”.
But nowadays, glasses have a whole new side to them. While, of course, there are still the “grandpa lenses” — which take up half your face and can only be pulled off by crazy celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Kanye West — eyeglasses serve a whole new purpose. Eyeglasses are to people now what sunglasses were 10 years ago: a stylish accessory. Notice all the brand name frames now from: Chanel, D&G and Juicy Couture.
People who don’t even need eyeglasses (and a big swarm of those who do but have gotten by avoiding them for so many years) are rushing to the doctor or their nearest designer retailer to grab a pair off the rack in order to avoid a bif drop in their cool quotient.
I hope this tends sticks around a while longer. Otherwise, I just might not see what is around the corner in terms of trends.
