The Fashion Bomb doesn't do nearly enough men's style, but it's almost impossible to overlook a recent trend amongst the urban set:
...a bow tied and bespectacled appearance we'll call Pee Wee Herman meets Malcolm X.
Of course it started with our 808's and Heartbreak Style Czar K. West:
Then crept into Common's closet...
And now it seems more and more MC's are trading in their dark shades for the wide rimmed or tortoise shell variety:
...men with tons of intelligence who've used a combo of bragadoccio and brains to broker business deals worth millions.
Ladies you gotta admit: isn't there something intriguing about intellect?
Bisous!

It's not just that there is something intriguing about intellect...intellect is, and will always be, the ultimate swagger. I am so happy to see this trend toward an intellectually and aesthetically pleasing wardrobe for the fellas because, let's be honest-it's rather sexy.
IT IS SEXY...the men are looking good!
Yes, yes...it is rather sexy! And its amazing how a few people can change the entire face of men's urban gear...no more 20x-too-large-pants!!!
like pharell style !
Geek chic is not the newest trend. I get it because it's fun and ironic, but I also think it gets old FAST. I think looking intellectual is a little different than looking dorky and anyone who pulls off the former is the real cool guy.
I like a man in glasses. I'm more so attracted to a man who's wearing a pair.
Pharrell can work some tortoise shell eyeglasses because it goes along with his N.E.R.D.'y aesthetic not to mention he looks good in just about anything.
I think the attraction of intellect goes beyond just the look and to the real substance. I'll take intellect over what is trendy any day of the week!
distinguished is in!
Has anyone copped a pair of these? Like faux glasses, they're kinda cute. Girls should rock em too.
Pharrel Has such good style I'm gonna do a spread on hime soon.
