As far as I know, they are called “Nerdy Eyeglasses” because as the name suggests, it is the type of glasses that nerd but intelligent people wear.

They are pretty common and lots of guys are fond of wearing them. I think the primary reason why many guys wear them is because of the known fact the most women are easily turned on by intelligent guys. So most dudes think that if only they looked more intelligent, more women will be attracted to them – at least initially.

But somehow, wearing nerdy glasses is a double-edged sword. It can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you look like. What I mean is, if you are already nerd-looking and you wear nerdy glasses, then you look more nerd than ever. Meanwhile, if you are already good-looking, wearing it might actually make you look more attractive to the ladies. You see, it has the ability to amplify your current looks.

Curious where to buy them? Well optical shops do have them and that’s for sure but they are expensive especially if you’ll just wear them for fashion’s sake. I suggest that you find cheaper ones. Actually, some PGG Forum members have found some sidewalk vendors selling them for 50 Pesos only. The other inexpensive ones which have better quality cost around 100 Pesos. I managed to buy one from a department store. Not bad if you’ll just be wearing them for style because I’m sure a few months later, your nerdy glasses will just be gathering dust when it is no longer the trend.

Adrielli wears Van Heusen tailored polo, white tie and Bench cream pants

Adrielli wears Uniqlo Japan sports jacket, Cotton On Australia Mickey shirt and Ray Ban glasses

Style tip from Adrielli

“I’m a 23 yr-old I.T. consultant and I own my style. It’s very basic. I usually wear plain/solid colored earth-tone pieces(shirts and polos) and “safe”-shade pants (cream, brown, black) with boat shoes. The secret to looking great? 90% of all my tops are altered by a tailor. It’s worth the investment. Remember, it doesn’t matter what you wear, as long as it fits perfectly.” ~Adrielli

Why does Adrielli want to win GCs from Jockey?

“Because Jockey is like the household name for quality when it comes to men’s wear. It’s only natural to want nothing but the best.” ~Adrielli

Thank you for sending your entry Adrielli!

You know these days, most of us guys would buy and instantly wear RTW clothes from department stores. It’s amazing that Adrielli is one of the very few who would go the extra mile to have his clothes made custom-fit by a tailor!

“A photo of me at work. Not too busy. It’s actually one of those boring days in the office.

I’m wearing a Caterpillar jacket, shirt by Human, my fave Bench timepiece, pants from Penshoppe and a dirty pair of sneakers! LOL.

I don’t really buy expensive clothes or accessories, not just because I can’t afford it (hehehe), but because I believe that we can all look good without really sacrificing our budget. You just need to know which clothes or accessories best fits you and of course you must be comfortable wearing it.” ~George

“Wearing bright-colored shirt and a pair of sunglasses in this season doesn’t mean you’re outcasted. Remember guys there would be times when the sun is up and the humidity still kicks in all day. Just wear appropriate clothes based on what the weather is on that very day. I’m sending this simple Portside yellow shirt and gray Oakley shades just to give emphasis that the rainy season isn’t an excuse to ditch all your summery clothes in your closet. And in addition, I’d like to emphasize that I’ve been patronizing Jockey items, from boxer briefs (I’m after the durability as some other brands would have their garters “bacon” after a laundry or two) to sandos (which I even wear when working out at Fitness First).”

“And as you have noticed, I just love wearing my dog tag, just like in these three photos. It’s my number one accessory I won’t be going out without.”

“Here is my black polo shirt from Folded & Hung…”

“…and my red muscle shirt below from SM Department Store.” ~Alex
