nerd glasses
Chunky frame lenses
Nerd glasses are eyeglasses with thick, dark frames—the style once associated with studious or socially awkward types.
The look has shifted from stigma to fashion statement: She bought nerd glasses even though her vision is fine.
The frames evoke mid-century aesthetics and intellectual earnestness, whether worn ironically or sincerely.
