Having bad eyesight is a very bad situation, however the fashion preconception that many people attribute to those wearing eyeglasses might be even worse. Those who have to use glasses on a regular basis usually see themselves wondering if they should expect childish taunts of “Four eyes! Four eyes!” when they wear their prescription spectacles, while those who have no need for eyesight correction normally feel that eyeglasses belong to the world of nerds and old people.
But is this still the situation at present? More and more celebrities are now being seen putting on spectacles, and even the most fashion-forward icons are donning them as a fashion accent. Is it likely that glasses have now left the land of the socially uncomfortable and entered high fashion territory? Naturally, if you’re sporting inexpensive, poor quality optical frames, the answer is a “no”. But when you’re putting on Oakley spectacles, the reply is a definite “yes”.
