Reading Glasses are the New "IT" Accessory

Thirty plus years ago, reading glasses were often stigmatized as “anti-fashion.” But Nerd Chic, Geek Chic and Hipster Chic have all changed the playing field, and readers and non-readers alike are using glasses as fashion accessories to stand out.

In fact, some mavens have gone as far as to describe reader glasses as “the new shoes” – meaning that they're not just utilitarian items but rather true accessories.

One Bay Area entrepreneur, Patty Lee Hoffman, said that reading glasses used to be considered “like the Crocs of glasses” – i.e. low in sex appeal and purely functional. But that’s all changed.

At some level, this is exciting news, because you can now use glasses to outfit and augment your general “fashion personality.” On the other hand, it could be somewhat stressful news, because now you might feel pressure to have “cool enough” reading glasses to keep up with the Joneses at your book club.
