Do Glasses Make You Look Smarter?

Probably a stupid question, but I'm a relatively good looking guy and I always wonder if people think I'm dumb (even though I have a solid background in terms of college and jobs).

Would wearing glasses help with perception when meeting clients and at interviews for new jobs (I'm also not very eloquent at times, have a somewhat low middle-class background)? As dumb as that sounds

I would suggest Oliver Peoples glasses and a penchant for Valentino suits. The business card should be bone with raised lettering.
