My unpopular opinion: All glasses are nerdy glasses. I’m generalizing, yes… but that’s a good thing about glasses, right? They make you look smart. Nerd-level smart!
But, okay, I will contend that there are glasses that are more nerdy than others. And when worn creatively, it’s geek chic. Let’s get into these fun styles in time for school!
Why Are Nerdy Glasses So Hot Right Now?
Back in our parents’ generation, glasses were bully magnets. But times have changed, and the internet is showing just how cool these necessities/accessories can be. I mean, style icons like Harry Styles and Gigi Hadid are wearing glasses!
It’s about time, too! Because really, there is absolutely nothing wrong with nerdy glasses. In fact, they’re the ultimate when it comes to ‘bookish’ style, comfort, and self-expression.
Back to School Nerdy Glasses Personas
Down school runways… err, hallways, I mean, you’ll meet these archetypes of geek chic. Let’s go through some of the options.
Casual Cool
These cool students seem to have no care in the world. You’ll often find them in distressed jeans and a graphic tee. They stand out because their nerdy glasses add that extra charm.
Giorgio Armani AR7074
The Giorgio Armani AR7074 glasses are standard wear for the cool guy with poor eyesight. They’re Superman-esque, if that’s your aesthetic. They’re also just a pair of quality lenses that easily go with whatever your go-to school wear is.

Sporty Preppy
They’re varsity athletes who transcend the game! They often wear casual athleisure outfits at school, and they exude geek chic charm with their nerdy glasses.
Oakley SOCKET 5.5 OX3218
Tackle your school work and win with a pair of Oakley SOCKET 5.5. This is eyewear that’s light, comfortable, and tough. They’re perfect for athletes and active people.
Take it from verified buyer Matt N.:
“Comfortable, and easy to slip into my motorcycle helmet. Quality is superior. Also had a good experience with ezcontacts…about half the price when compared with optometrist.”
Kate Spade LUCYANN US
These Kate Space LUCYANN US glasses have bright pops of color that make them stand out. They are perfect for students who have an active school life, bouncing from the classroom to the gym to theater practice, and back again.
Jennifer R. says:
“Extremely Satisfied. I love my Kate Spade glasses! They are always durable. I love that I was able to get the Crizal lens at a cheaper price than a store! I will definitely be coming back!”
Edgy Smarty
Their demeanor might scream ‘don’t mess with me,’ but if you look that good in glasses, people are going to notice. These are the classic ‘bad boys with a heart of gold’ you’ll often find in high school-set movies.
Gucci GG0737O
Nothing defies expectations more than an edgy intellectual wearing a pair of Gucci GG0737O. With gray translucent frames, metallic styling along the arms, and the unmistakable Gucci logo, all eyes are on you! It’s a style that highlights your uniqueness.
Richard L. loves his pair:
“Perfect fit! Excellent service”
Michael Kors MK4067U SANTA CLARA
To pull off the Michael Kors MK4067U SANTA CLARA, you need confidence and smarts. You know what you want and what you’re capable of. That’s your edge!
Andrea I. exemplifies this. She says:
“Love them! I love my glasses! It was cheaper buying thru EZContacts than using my insurance at a local eye Drs office! Pretty sure I paid more at Walmart with my insurance…”
Mischievous Misfit
You know that there’s time for studying, and there’s time for a little playfulness. You’re smart, stylish, and love to spice things up. You’re the true definition of the class clown.
Prada Linea Rossa PS 04IV LIFESTYLE
The Prada Linea Rossa PS 04IV LIFESTYLE eyeglasses are as playful as eyewear can be. They stand out with their clear frames, dark-hued temple arms, and the Prada logo over a red strip close to the hinge. You just know that the person who wears these glasses knows how to have fun!
Anthony D. has this to say about Prada Linea Rossa PS:
“I love that this frame is similar to a design discontinued by Ray-Ban. The silicone arms make it feel perfectly snug and not tight or pinching. The frame feels very light, it’s almost weightless. Unfortunately since I have a low nose bridge, the nose pads are not thick enough to prevent slippage, and overall the frame sits very low, so I find myself looking through the top rim of the lenses often. Overall, I would still recommend this style to most people.”
Prada PR 18WV
When you wear these Prada PR 18WV eyeglasses, you’re catching attention and making a statement. These glasses are big, bold, and very stylish.
Aswani M. shows just how stylish these glasses can be. She says:
“In lovvvvve!! Delivery was fast. My prescription is just right and I paid half of what my local eyeglasses shop was charging for the same frames. 10/10… I would definitely recommend!”
Geek Chic GOAT
You know who they are. They walk around campus in a class of their own. They’re the popular kids, and they will definitely rock these glasses!
Gucci GG1221O
You’ve got to be confident to wear the Gucci GG1221O eyeglasses. You’re top of the class, the MVP, and you know how to express yourself. This includes your frames!
Just take it from Troy Y.:
“Gucci Buffs! Fire ass frames. Got me feeling myself!”
Prada PR A57V
What sets Prada PR A57V eyeglasses apart is that they seem unassuming, yet they’re also stylishly powerful. Wear these oval silver metallic frames and you command the room. It doesn’t have to be loud or garish… it’s Prada!
