Geek chic is all the rage, but have you adopted it yet? I feel the need to geek out every once in a while, and my style reflects it. Cate Blanchett is definitely one who can get away with test driving questionable trends and she embodies geek chic here with her black-rimmed glasses. Other celebs like Chloe Sevigny and Amy Sedaris have shown their true geek colors via specs as well. What do you think? Are you ready to go from totally geek to totally chic?

haha i am wearing such glasses right now! i figure, contacts sometimes for sure, but glasses are just less stressful on my eyes. and i am a geek so i dont see why i shouldhide
1Love!
2these glasses are always reminds me of Clark ( superman). it's funny for me
3Very cute! I brown glasses almost exactly like cate!
4I love it. When I was in Navy boot camp I was given these awful thick brown rimmed glasses that were appropriately named BC's--birth controls, cause it was sure to keep the guys away. But I embraced the glasses and kinda wore them with cutesy preppy sweaters or very girly jackets and somehow they started to fit in well with what I wore.
5um, love it! i'm wearing mine right now. they're not exactly a fashion statement--more like a dire necessity--but they fit my personality and style perfectly.
6I love them...I have a pair of black/brown/cream Chanel ones that I try to wear when I remember
7i own a pair - because i was told i needed glasses and i seriously don't - and i love them. marc jacobs makes a really cute pair i'd want if i ever wore my glasses.
8but i think they are cute. and tortoise shell is better for the geek.
Love 'em!
9I have the black Prada frames - I love them & get complimenta all the time!
10I am so in love with those glasses. I need a new pair, so I might go for something like this

12I am wearing my black rimemd D&G's right now! SOOOO sexy and classy
i actually have some that i love!! but i kinda like a bit thinner ones that aren't so reminiscent of drew carey.
13Not all black frames look the same. Some of them look great but I don't like these.
14my husband has black rimmed glasses so i love them
15I wear thin black frames and I love them!
16love it, cos i wear my black, and rather thick black rimmed frames too.
17I used to have thin wire frames, and those actually look kind of insipid. They kind of whimper "Oh, don't mind me, I wear these ugly things because I have to." Now I have thick black frames, and they're heavier than the wire frames, and they kind of get in the way of my peripheral vision more, but I like the look much better. It's like these glasses say "Yeah, that's right, I'm a hot geek and I'm wearing glasses!"
18I wear a pair like these too. For a while, I was considering going to those frameless glasses, but I decided to stick with my good ol'chic black plastic frames.
19I've been wearing glasses similar to this for over five years now and I've had several pairs that differ slightly in shape and size. I'm currently rocking a pair of Versace black plastic and metal ones that are awesome! Oddly enough, I've had a LOT of guys I've dated who really, really love them - so they really aren't "BCs" apparently
20I also wear black rimmed glasses with a touch of pink inside.Geek???Not!!!I don't care if others think so.I love my glasses regardless of what others think.Lets here it for those who are wearing black rimmed glasses!!!
21Love them! I think they're so super cute that they almost - not quite, but almost - make me wish I needed glasses.
22I love it, mainly because I need glasses to see and I'm terrified of contacts for some reason! But I love thick black rims. They're way cute, even if a bit cliche sometimes.
23Too bad I have 20/20 vision. I would so get some glasses like that.
24im wearing my Prada ones right now
25i LOVE statement glasses that don't excuse themselves by trying to be rimless! i've got a darling pair of marc jacobs tortoise shell glasses that go perfectly with my geeky/messy preppy style.
26Cate's so beautiful, she can get away with wearing anything.
27I did the whole plastic frame thing since I was 15. I'm kinda over it. And black is too harsh with my complexion.
28I want pair!
29I think they are okay with a smaller frame like a small square frame but not on something thick and rounded.
30LOVE!!! I even own 2!
31I just bought a pair of tortoise shell glasses with blue on the inside. My old wire frame glasses were ugly, and since i'm a little geeky, then these were perfect. Good for days when I don't feel like wearing contacts.
32i love black rimmed glasses!
33i just think that the flash and the glasses make Cate look washed out.
Love them.I use to have a pair.
34Ok, confession time:
If a man is wearing black rimmed glasses, I am probably 60% more likely to be attracted to him.
Honestly. I do not know what it is, but it's been a few years where literally, I will do double takes on any man in dark rimmed glasses. Floppy dark hair is a plus. Maybe it screams a certain type of person (bookish, reads the news, plays scrabble, listens to sufjan stevens) I dunno. But for whatever reason they are a total turn on.
My friends joke that I have a glasses fetish. And I suppose in the realm of fetishes, it's on the less weird side, right?
35the first Christmas present I gave my husband was a pair of glasses like that. There was a recent pic of Zachary Quinto sporting a pair of those....le swoon!
36Really cool
all they need to to be bit more slanted and have
rhinestones on the upper corners, I love that style
37I like the look of black glasses. I like how I look in them too.
38I was just talking about how I love black rimmed glasses and want a pair! So, love it.
39I agree that I love guys with black-rimmed glasses, but I also think a lot of girls look great with them. However, as much as I love her, I don not like them on Cate Blanchett...
