Geek-chic is one of those trends that never really goes away,\u00a0and somehow, always finds a way to reinvent itself. Prescription or fashion glasses\u00a0are the key accessory you need to nail the look.<\/p>\n

Thick black frames have long been a staple when it comes to the nerdy style. Think of Leonard from The Big Bang Theory and you get the idea.<\/p>\n

But recently there\u2019s been a new style that fashionistas have been favouring: wire-framed glasses.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we can thank the cult character of Barb from Stanger Things for this new trend. But wire-framed glasses have been popping up everywhere in the past few months from catwalks to our Instagram feeds.<\/p>\n

Whether you wear glasses on the regular, are new to the world of eyewear, or just fancy switching up your style, wire frames are just what you need to add a touch\u00a0of distinction to your look.<\/p>\n

Optionally, take the trend to the extreme by toting\u00a0oversized silhouettes, and\u00a0don\u2019t worry about looking over the top. These frames are thin, light, and\u00a0complement your face shape.<\/p>\n

Wire frames are subtle style statement.<\/p>\n

Some celebrities that have been spotted wearing this style include: Emily Ratajkowski, Alexa Chung and Chiara Ferragni. Not to mention, model of the moment, Kendall Jenner proved it\u2019s chic to be a geek – so wear your glasses proudly.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our selection of the best wire-framed eyewear to shop from:<\/p>\n

Infinity M8201<\/h2>\n

We love the round shape of these Infinity M8201 glasses as they give off a retro feel that\u2019s reminiscent of the 70s. Plus, thanks to their affordable price, they\u2019re the perfect option for trying out the trend without having to splash out on a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n

Mimas MD8012<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Arguably the colour of the year, these Mimas MD8012 glasses come in rose gold so you\u2019ll look even more on trend. We love the diamond embellishments at the temples which add further sparkle to the metallic finish. \u00a0The oval shape of the lenses are particularly flattering if you have a longer face; they will balance out your features.<\/p>\n

Flexon FLX 883Mag-Set<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Buy Now \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oval lenses are one of the key eyewear trends in 2017, and these Flexon glasses combine two trends in one. They also come with clip-on sunglasses, so you have a pair of\u00a0lenses\u00a0for when it gets too bright. We love the half-rimmed wire frames because they embody\u00a0sophistication.<\/p>\n

Porsche Design P8478<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Buy Now \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These Porsche sunglasses prove that the geeky trend isn\u2019t just limited to optical lenses. Coming in the timeless aviator shape, the P8478 sunglasses are slightly oversized for a modern upgrade. Exuding effortless cool, these unisex frames may be at the higher end of the price range, but they\u2019re an investment piece and will never go out of style.<\/p>\n
