In the world of fashion, glasses have evolved from a necessity to a symbol of style and sophistication. This transformation is evident in the current trend of the "office siren" look with glasses, popularised by social media influencer Taylor Chanel on TikTok and Instagram.

The glasses worn in this trend are not just functional, but are also designed to convey an aura of wisdom or literacy. This is a far cry from the stereotype of the unattractive bespectacled person, which was prevalent in various RomComs and even in the 2010s, where wearing glasses was considered a punishment for teenagers.

However, the debate about whether fashion trends related to vision correction should continue is ongoing in the current century. One advocate for this change is pop star Billie Eilish, who is frequently seen wearing glasses, even on the red carpet. Eilish's glasses, often small and rectangular, resemble Cillian Murphy's character Scarecrow's glasses, adding a unique twist to her style.

Jule Rona Eccard, a columnist for the Staatsanzeiger, is another notable figure who uses glasses as a fashion statement. Despite her visual impairment, Eccard can pass off her glasses as a fashion accessory. Eccard's column, called "Rona Eccard Column," discusses various topics, including fashion and trends.

The love for glasses as a fashion statement is not a new phenomenon. In the 19th century, fashionistas wore lorgnettes, an early form of glasses. Even today, glasses are experiencing a revival through online communities like "dark academia aesthetic" or BookTok.

So, why not embrace your inner fashionista and try out a new pair of glasses today?
