This is one trend I cannot stand, let alone understand. To me, it looks dorky and un-chic. Looks like I'm in the minority though...

I can understand where you're coming from. Although I suppose "geeky or dorky" is kind of the intention. To me it adds an extra layer of interest.

I ask people if they like my glasses all the time, too! But it gets a bit annoying when they laugh then snatch them off my face to try them on.

I had to buy like 4 pairs of geek glasses for a photoshoot. Creative decided not to use them on the shoot, so instead I used them to entertain the cranky model. Every time he went on set I put on a different pair, and when he would look at me I would say, "do these make me look smart?" - you would think that would get old... but I'm pretty sure he laughed every single time.

I bought like three pairs from Urban Outfitters. I also bought a cute pair from forever21. I've been eyeing the American Apparel ones... but they're just a little more than I want to spend.

Really? I think depending on how much you want to spent, everywhere from American Apparel to Ray Ban offer a version.

Bought mine on eBay, and recently popped in my prescription. Didn't know I had to coordinate my wardrobe differently though...part of their appeal to me is I dress exactly the same. Of course, I am also very lazy.

That is true. Many can wear it expertly with most things. They are much more versatile than most glasses. But these are just some ideas I see people doing that have been successful. Time to flaunt yours MaleUgly style

I love geek glasses. I rather love mine. They're like safety goggles. But you had a way cheaper solution to the problem as Wayfarers are definitely more affordable. SO SMART, LU!

I see a lot of discussion in our forum about the topic of geek glasses. To be fair, my glasses are actually my real eyeglasses. I took the sunglasses lense out of my Wayfarers and just put in prescription ones. Works pretty well.

In case you wanted to try this at home, glasses are relatively easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Here’s a few simple tips to get you started:

1. What are geek glasses? – There’s a difference between “geek” versus just rectangular black rimmed glasses. For this look to be successful, the bigger the better! Or until it eats your face. That’s not chic.

2. Light on top – Lipstick, glasses, and a white or light colored top is a fun way to bring attention to your upper body. And you can even mix softer, girlier tops like gobaby’s and Rissa’s for an extra eye-catching effect.

3. Girl-y works too – Don’t be afraid to mix geek glasses with more feminine florals, like dresses. A pretty vintage dress and glasses is a great go-to look – as seen so fetchingly on Snowshoe .

4. Yes, this was intentional – Finally, be comfortable in this very obviously trendy item. My favorite is to just put them on in front of people, ask “Hey, do you like my glasses?”, and wait for their reaction.
