Revenge of the Nerds

No matter where in the world you went to high-school they were there, the nerds. You made fun of the brainy attitude and their geeky attire. But now, the Nerds have flip the script. And fashion seems to be following them.

Back in the day, the main article that defined "Nerdom" was the glasses. Those pairs of black, plastic-framed eye-wear. However, these days they are must-have fashion accessory for men. Eyeglasses are like footwear for your face - a good pair will get you noticed, and possibly laid. And the celebrities and many of the fashion world's alpha males, have taken the cue...

See, looks good, doesn't it. But, as with any good pair of shoe, it's all about the fit. GQ offers the following tip : "your glasses should be about the wide as your face - no wider, no narrower. And the top of your frames should hit your eyebrows." With that in mind, get yourself a pair and say thanks to Buddy Holly. And the nerds.
