Geek Chic: How Redheads Should Rock the Perfect Set of Specs

By: Kara Dunford 

Are you a visually impaired redhead in search of a spectacular pair of glasses to accent those gorgeous peepers? Dorothy Parker’s claim, “Men seldom make passes, at girls who wear glasses,” couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact, Christina Hendricks responded to this quote by saying, “I think it’s ridiculous. It’s certainly not the case at my house. My husband thinks I look super sexy when I put my glasses on – he always encourages it.”

When wearing glasses, they should express your redhead personality.  Check out these fabulous choices for the New Year:
