Black-rimmed Glases


Black-rimmed Glasses

Since the Sixties people tried to get away from the NHS glasses look but for some reason in 1997, myopic fashion victims wanted to wear the heavy black-rimmed frames again.

Amongst the short-sighted celebrities to sport the chunky specs were Chris Evans and Gillian Anderson.

Trendy heavy-rimmed glasses are still going strong and are also available in tortoise-shell and two-tone blue or brown!
