Spectacles.

It was not too long ago that wearing glasses was the worst thing that could happen to a teen. Braces were up there but at least you could hide braces. Then Dov Charney came along with Amercian Apparel and re-invented the nerd. All of the sudden nerds were cool and popular. Being a jock no longer got you the ladies, instead their attention was being caught by the skinny nerdy boys wearing tight –necks and thick frames. The nerdy trend has continued to grow and even move into the female population. Now a days you don’t know who actually needs lenses and who is just wearing them to express their creative, nerdy side. Glasses have been given a new face, showing off your intelligent more artistic side and allowing you to demonstrate your inner geek!
