Don't let the old Hollywood stereotype fool you. Glasses can be totally fashionable. Depending on your face shape and sense of style, it's completely possible to pull off wearing glasses while still looking chic!

Ravishing Red Frames by Vogue - $129.95

There's no way to look nerdy in these frames! This bold pair is as bright and glamorous while still keeping it basic. Simple gold embellishments add a hint of whimsy to glasses that work both day and night!

Bold Tortoise Shell by Ray-Ban - $149.95

The rectangular frame adds dimension to round faces while the tortoise-shell pattern keeps these frames looking classy. Sophistication is never geeky.

Those green ones look pretty sweet. I don't wear glasses though,
so it doesn't matter to me.

i like the dior frames.
I dont like how the link for these glasses say that black rims are
back in......they never left! ive had mine for years and they were
always trendy, and tons of people have them. lol

They're not that bad (price wise) my frames were like... $150-$175
- D&G. I had a coupon from Lenscrafters for $100 off. The lenses
were expensive and I don't have very bad eyesight - only a slight
astigmatism that gives me headaches when I read. I think the
price for the lenses + frames was like $300-$350 with the coupon.

I work at Lenscrafters and this article rocks! It depends on the
type of lenses you need and the material you use. We have frames
for up to $1400, without the cost of lenses in there!

you're only 14... unless you have absolutely horrible eyesight
like my aunt, why would you need $400 glasses? Just wondering...

for those who are wondering... this price tag is just for the
frames... not for the lenses too...

I hate to say it... Dior is NOT geeky. Dior is something that most
users of this site cannot afford unless they were a spoiled brat
who came from a rich family.

Remember... Who is your audience?

there are ALOT of amazing frames at more reasonable prices. Since
glasses have become more of a fashion statement. Although many
designers do have lines for eyewear, the best thing to do is to go
to an eyewear emporium and look at frames from different lines and
labels. A big price tag does not make glasses look good on you.
You can get a lovely pair of glasses for less then $100! I know
i've gotten great pairs for $50.
