Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses

The Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses are a refreshing mix of modern and retro style. The glasses reach back into the glory days of fashion with it’s stunning cat-eye shape. Yet, thanks to its sleek design it is able to look exclusive, swank and current.

One styling question we have been asked about in the past, is regarding if any additional accessories can be worn if one does choose to wear glasses. The fear is often that too many accessories can look “heavy,” overdone or less coordinated. However, that is not the case. Glasses do not need to limit you to wearing just glasses.

Dita Eyewear Informer

For instance, in the Dita Eyewear SS17 ad campaign pictured within this post the model is styled with large hoop earrings as well as septum jewelry. This illustrates that additional jewelry can be incorporated. Nevertheless, a good rule of thumb is to use the frames as a guideline. If the frames are striking then opt for jewelry that is less elaborate. This way none of the accessories will compete for attention; they will simply compliment each other.

Geek is Chic, Beautiful Black Women That Are Down With 4 Eyes7

Nerd, dork, geeky and so drop dead chic! In the days ruled by chalkboards and textbooks most ladies do not want to be known as quintessential “nerd.” However, geek chic style can still be fun, sophisticated and dare we say cool?

There are plenty of ways to allow your inner fashion nerd to escape and be free. Try incorporating a pair of stylish suspenders with a pleated skirt and button down shirt. Or, if you are a shoe fanatic ( it’s okay the first step is admittance LOL) pair your heels with socks and get to strutting your stuff. Moreover, you could also support your favorite comic character by rocking a tee with their image plastered all over it. Extra points if you plan on wearing top related to the Avengers or Wonder Woman. Nevertheless, there is one major accessory that most fashionista’s keep in their back pocket when they are ready be the chic geek.

To pull off this trendy look all a girl really needs is a fashionable pair of glasses. Take being called four eyes as a compliment, because girl you look great! Don’t worry about getting a pair with a prescription unless you need a little help in the eyesight department. A regular pair of bifocals will also not break the bank or set your wallet on fire making it a cheaper trend to indulge in freely.

Celebrities wear the geek chic trend more often than you think and not just to star-studded galas either! We have spotted nerd couture being worn by some of our favorite celebrity gals. Here are just a few:

See, whether you are going for a sophisticated and conservative or relaxed and edgy, a little nerdy flair can help to complete your look. Notice though for the most part the makeup on all the ladies was kept rather simple. With the exception of a pop of color via a red lip, a neutral makeup look will allow the focus to remain on the accessory (glasses). Moreover, let’s face it the glasses may hide all of your hard eye makeup work so if you want to add some beauty boldness it is best to pump up your lips instead.
