Remember Dorothy Parker’s famous quote: “Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses”? Well, those words are now the relics of a distant past. Or, why would we find men lusting after the sexy librarian, afterall? It\u2019s certainly the charm of those bold, black-rimmed glasses that sets the male hearts on fire.<\/p>\n

In fact, the bespectacled look is currently the most visible trend on the fashion radars. With celebs, both men and women, embracing the four-eyed look, glasses have found a place in fashion mags, runway shows, movies, and all things glamorous. They are officially in-vogue.<\/p>\n

But how did glasses find their way to the fashion ally?<\/p>\n

While sunglasses were always associated with glamour, Hollywood, and fashion, their prescription cousins were linked with the socially awkward, the quirky and the boring.<\/p>\n

Geeky glasses started getting noticed in a positive way in the 1950\u2019s when rock-n-roll star Buddy Holly appeared on-stage wearing glasses. This was the first time ever a young performer had performed in glasses\u00a0and\u00a0it soon became a signature look for the performer, thus making\u00a0prescription glasses leave\u00a0their first big impression on pop culture.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Holly, stars like John Lennon, Elvis Costello and Elton John started making on-stage appearances with their specs on – bringing in a world of different glasses style, such as round, square, wayfarer and even heart-shaped!<\/p>\n

And like everything in fashion goes full-circle, glasses made a comeback too. But this time it was\u00a0NBA stars like Russell Westbrook, Lebron James, Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade who refreshed the trend by wearing their glasses to post-game press conferences.<\/p>\n
