Glasses are What’s Hot

According to the scene on the runway, spectacles are going to be fall’s newest accessory. Does anybody else find it a little depressing that autumn trends have already been forecasted and it’s not even summer yet? It’s like department stores starting to play Christmas music before Halloween—downright depressing. Such is life. At least it gives us a little time to prepare, even though by the time we actually get there Spring lines will have already debuted. Ah fashion, what would we do without your nonsense?

But back to the glasses.

As you can see from the shots from Chris Benz and Miu Miu respectively, the look was very sexy librarian. “Glasses are a very covered-up way of saying something provocative,” said stylist Kate Young. You have to admit, there is something hot about subtle sexiness. Why do you think the librarian has been a staple male fantasy since the beginning of time, or maybe just Playboy? There’s just something hot about potential, the moment when the “nerd” shakes out her hair, ditches her glasses for contacts, and nabs the student body president. Wait, was that the plot to “She’s All That”…?

Actually I do think this trend transcended Hugh, what about Joan of Arc? Tell me you don’t think that some of the men she was leading didn’t wonder what was under that armor. Always leave them wanting more—a good mantra to help navigate some of the more tragic fashion territory. Example: Does this mesh tank top leave them wanting more? You see what I mean. I’m not usually full of wisdom, but I hope you wrote that down. It’s foolproof.

So even if you were cursed with perfect vision, maybe it’s time to pick up a set of fakes. You can’t do sexy librarian without the glasses after all.
