Top Ten Hottest Women in Glasses

Once upon a time, not too long ago, wearing a pair of glasses was synonymous with pocket-protectors, tucked-in short-sleeve collared shirts, textbooks, and well, you get the picture…But lately, it seems like the term “four-eyes” is becoming gauche, as glasses are making a strong comeback into popular culture. And dare we even say, a sexier comeback…? You judge for yourself. Here are the top 10 hottest women in glasses:

The collaboration with Mykita and Bernard Willhelm has arrived.

Inspired by the 1976 Winter Olympics, FRANZ marked the start of a long-term collaboration between MYKITA and Paris-based fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm in 2009. The resulting range of mirrored glasses with stainless steel frames has since seen the addition of various colours, forms and new designs. From sun visor to coloured gradient lenses or 1980s-style aviator frames – as applies to the fashion designs of Bernhard Willhelm, these models blend innovative designs and cues from the world of contemporary culture to form independent creations.

Coachella! 

Celebration of sunshine, youth, music, and dripping in Cali hippie chic forever 21 couture. I wasn't so impressed with the sunglasses everyone was rocking, pretty generic, and cheap looking however I suppose if you're hot enough it doesn't really matter. Mirrors, metal aviators and brightly colored wayfarers were again all the rage.
