The Eyeglass Accessory: The Cliched and Chic - Part Two

The Eyeglass Accessory: The Cliched and Chic - Part Two

By Polly Morgan

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.

The Eyeglass Accessory: The Cliched and Chic - Part One

The Eyeglass Accessory: The Cliched and Chic - Part One

By Polly Morgan

Everyone has seen a movie or TV show in which an authority figure (usually one that is much hated or much loved) is wearing hideous eyeglasses attached to an equally hideous eyeglass necklace. Either the librarian with the ready evil eye and hissing finger, the sexy professor with the free time after class for a special French lesson, the geeky professor with disheveled clothes and incurable bed head, and the aged coach with the tight green shorts, whistle, clipboard, and a propensity for yelling.

These TV shows and movies entertain us, but they also make the eyeglass necklace into some kind of villains costume requirement. That shouldn't be the case. Eyeglass necklaces, while traditionally simple chains made for function and not fashion can now be an integral part of your wardrobe. Eyeglass accessories are now fashion accessories.

Each of those clichéd roles needs an upgraded from bust to awesome, and here are a few ways directors and wardrobe designers can crash the clichés and bring a sprig of beauty to a sadly hideous eyeglass accessory.

This article will cover the roles of librarian and the geeky professor.

The Librarian

The librarian is the one person in the world who is allowed to be loud in a library. When they sneak up behind you just to SHUSH you in an obnoxious and wet manner (those TV and movie shushes are usually accompanied by the main character wiping their brow and cheeks after said 'shush'), they are pushing their horn rimmed glasses further up on the pointed noses, and those glasses are held securely around the neck by an eyeglass necklace made of brown or muddy gray nylon strings. Yuck!

The librarian can be hip and cool! Why not give them an eyeglass accessory as cool as they are? The neat thing about handmade eyeglass necklaces is that they can be made using beads with the imprint of books on them! Also, if the movie or TV show is taking place on a college campus, why not dress up the necklace with the school colors using plastic beads?

The Geeky Professor

One of the most often seen character portrayals is the geeky professor with mused hair and an awkward presence. The glasses of the geeky professor are usually broken and held together with clear tape or super glue, and the eyeglass necklace is so loose and dangly that it obscures the professor's face. With the right length of necklace, and the right colors (preferably something bright), the geeky professor can look a lot less geeky, at least from the neck up.

In all honesty, many avid movie goers would love to see the geeky professor transformed into the super sexy professor- and that can be accomplished in simple ways, like replacing their old clunky eyewear with sleeker, chic-er models, and adding in eyeglass accessories that don't draw attention for the wrong reasons. Eyeglass necklaces should draw attention because of how sophisticated and unique they are, not because they're frayed, frazzled, or funky (in a bad way).

In the next article, The Eyeglass Accessory: The Clichéd and Chic - Part Two, we will discuss the "science" that goes into making the sexy professor, and the aged PE teacher and junior varsity coach.
