When I was a kid I always thought I would look cool in glasses. Now I’m not a kid anymore and I have to wear glasses. At least I got the kind of glasses that I wanted; historically reminiscent of John Lennon’s; recently reminiscent of Harry Potter. I prefer the John Lennon reference personally.
Can’t See your Face for the Glasses
Glasses can be a fashion statement of sorts. They can say many things: I’m hip, I’m cool, I’m bad, I’m Lady Gaga, I’m Kelly Osborne… There are definite, bold lines drawn between types of fashion in relation to eyewear. Hip and trendy glasses for instance are a world apart from cool aviator types or Men in Black Ray-Bans. Janis Joplin wore the round tinted glasses back in the peace loving, flower power 60’s. Granny glasses were in for a while as I recall. And of course the previously mentioned Harry Potter glasses were big when the movie first came out. Some of the styles that Kelly Osbourne and the like are wearing these days supports the theory that the more things change; the more they stay the same. You wouldn’t have been caught dead in glasses like that when I was young. Now you dare not be caught without them. Are there corrective lenses in those glasses? Only their eye doctor knows for sure.
Not Fashion, just Good Vision
Of course there are those of us who wear glasses in order to see, which doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish. If you choose laser eye surgery and you still want to be stylish you’ll simply have to go with cosmetic lenses… Just plain glass.
