In our last article, The Eyeglass Accessory: The Clichéd and Chic – Part One, we learned all about how movie and TV directors, and wardrobe designers use eyeglass accessories on their characters to make them look dingy, ugly, nerdy, and general unattractive. We learned that the geeky professor can be glammed up with an eyeglass necklace in bright colors that is also the appropriate length. Too dull and too long makes the professor look, well, geeky.
In the first article we also learned that the librarian has been hated by movie goers and TV show watchers for years because of the various stigmas associated with her/him, but we also learned that these characters are usually made to look meaner and uglier with hideous eyeglass accessories, like eyeglass chains that were meant for torture instead of couture-it should be that way folks! Eyeglass accessories should make you look and feel good, even if it is in fictional entertainment.
The next character type we will discuss will be the sexy professor. Since eyeglass accessories like the eyeglass necklace have been given a bum rap until now, we will take a break and see how eyeglass accessories can make people look right from the start.
Sexy Professor
Oh sexy professor…the one young college boys dream about, the one that most female future educators want to be. She’s intelligent, confident, graceful, sensual, and totally sexy-and she wears glasses! The sexy professor isn’t just sexy because of her eyeglass chain; she is sexy because she carries herself like she knows she’s sexy. Having a great pair of glasses can do that to a woman. An eyeglass chain made of deep colors like reds and purples will bring to mind her confidence and sensuality. Brighter colors like marigold and burnt pink will bring to mind fun and feisty.
There is a sexy professor in all of us, especially those of us who already wear glasses, but it will take some online shopping to find the right eyeglass accessories to make the look work.
Now, we will return to the dreary, dull, and hilarious wrongful death of the eyeglass accessories (due mostly to the skewed creativity of Hollywood directors and wardrobe designers).
Aged Coaches
If you’ve attended public high school in the U.S. then you’ve probably had that PE (physical education) teacher or coach that seemed to revel in their super short, super tight gym shorts. Those shorts are a disaster all on their own, but a lot of coach characters in TV shows especially carry the hilarious and embarrassing formula to their eyewear as well. The coach has thick glasses that are held around his/her neck with an eyeglass chain made of old shoe laces (probably from cleats), or their eyeglass necklace is so old and worn from use that the ends attached to the glasses are held on with safety pins.
Time to get with the times and get yourself new eyeglass accessories!
Hollywood…please be kind to the eyeglass accessory. Remember that they also make people look good, and that the whole world is watching.
