revenge of the nerds

This season nerdy specs head straight to the in-crowd. Oversized plastic wayfarer or round glasses are a must in clear, black, brown or tortoise. Smaller versions of these styles, as well as rimless and semi-rimless frames, emphasize this trend in bookworm fashion. Bold colors or half-colored frames, strong browlines or horn-rimmed details, keyhole bridges and Clubmaster remixes add quirky touches. What once screamed geek now says oh-so-chic.

Pair these nerdy frames with an of the moment outfit consisting of knit tights, winter shorts and a cropped sleeve turtleneck or bow blouse.
