A Taiwanese Take on Four-Eyes
Huffington Post (blog)
Once upon a time, it was a schoolyard taunt to label someone "four-eyes," but in Taiwan, they have adopted an unusual take on such labels. There is a strange and ubiquitous fashion trend seen among Taipei's teens and twentysomethings who sport eyeglass frames sans the lenses. It is not entirely clear where the trend originated, as some point to the Japanese and Korean pop scene as the trend's provenance, while others argue it to be a homegrown Taiwanese fashion. Regardless, the lensless frames of glasses have become a fashion accessory worn by Taipei's fashionistas.
On Taipei's metro system -- always the fashion playground, it is commonplace to see girls batting their long, fake lashes out past where the glass would sit in the plastic frames. Or in Taipei's hip Ximen district to see girls shopping for glass frames to accessorize. Some girls choose oversized square-ish glasses frames, while others opt for the more sleek and stylish variety. The seemingly common response of why girls are choosing the foureye-ish look is simply for fashion, the opportunity to accessorize further and be a little more different.
"They look stylish," a teenage girl named Fan said as she adjusted her polka-dotted square pair, that almost reached her black square cut bangs. "I have three or four pair of them, but these are my favorites." She happened to also be wearing contacts behind the lensless frames. Nothing like a little redundant irony when fashion is at play. When she was asked why not just wear regular glasses, Fan commented that the glass made the frames too heavy.
