A Fresh Look to the Past

Glasses… by far the most popular of all accessories; well they’re at least the most prominent. Who doesn’t like glasses? Be it shades or spectacles, the classics are making a comeback.
Smooth talkers like Cary Grant wore the turtle shelled, the FBI wore the horn rimmed, and geniuses like Le Cobusier wore that eccentric pair. So what’s “in”? Get ready to start digging through Grandpa’s collection and you just might be able to find some hidden treasures. Let’s just hope that they’re not as moth eaten like his double breasted suits.
These glasses are more than classics, they’re timeless.

Check out this pair by Oliver Peoples.
