STAR TRENDS: CLEAR LENS

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

geekchicglass.gif

I can see glasses becoming a huge trend this season (and not just because of Sarah Palin). With vintage frames already back in full swing, celebrities are realizing that glasses can be just as stylish as perceived geeky. Recently folks like Kanye West, Rihanna, Pharrell, and Erykah Badu have been casually rocking funky/vintage clear lens.

I’ve always loved to wear glasses myself - not because I had to, but because they also serve as great accessory for the face and there a millions of options to just from. Just check out a few cool frames I found right online…

A. Cazal Unisex 1001 Glasses ($369.99) | B. ‘Perspective’ Vintage Clear Lens Glasses ($10.00) | C. Tom Ford Eyewear 5002 ($229.99) | D. Chanel 1505 - Color 501 ($304.95) | E. D&G Eyeglasses 1121 - Color 513 ($164.99) | F. Marc Jacobs 083 ($169.90) | G. Cat Eye Readers ($9.99) | H. Nicole Miller Hona Lulu ($112.00) | I. Italian Vintage Frames ($98.00) | J. Chanel 3142B ($329.95)

SUGGESTION - If you are considering frames for medical reasons (moreso than trendy) or purchasing a designer pick, I recommend trying on glasses in store to find the right style for your face.

My brother found some really nice glasses for less that $30 a piece at ZenniOptical.com all that is needed is your perscription and you’re well on your way. Prices start at like $8. I guess you can call it- The Look For Less - as they say on Style Network. Anyway, I need new glasses because I have vision trouble…

As a person that needs to wear glasses(…which I don’t do on a daily basis), I’ve seen a lot of fashionable glasses out there from D&G, Gucci, and even LensCrafters.
But, just throwing on some glasses, doesn’t make you look cool or smarter. People need to focus on the style, size and fit that looks good on them!
Rihanna looks good, Pharrel looks aight…but Kanye and Erykah look like damn fools!

I met a girl who spent close to $300 on frames she didn’t even need…just plain stupid!
If you fashionistas are going to follow this trend…get the knock-offs from your local bootlegger and don’t waste your money!!! LOL

@ 68 (_!+0

Thanks for trying to inform me on something that I already knew since I was 6yrs old!

My comment was stating….”as far as being trendy” people wear the plastic frames, not the metal ones.

My sister had lasik done. The only bad part was the swelling a couple days after, the drops you have to put in multiple times a day , some sensitivity to light. After a couple months and check ups her eyes were healed and she can see very clearly now. You have to make sure to research and pick a reputable doctor and be very persistent about your after patient care.

I finally got prescription glasses about three weeks ago and I love them I wear them 50/50 and I have been ntold I look better with glasses on and they are plastic frames. But people got to understand when celebrites endorse a trend it is bound to sweep the population like wildfire and everybody and their momma is going to try this trend out of all the celebrites Pharrell looks best with his glasses. Erykah and Kanye look a hot mess. Rhi Rhi glasses are cut ebut they just don’t fit her. If anybody was wondering Pharrell’s glasses are Tom Ford.
