Well this is interesting

Wow and not actually crazy expensive for frames. Not cheap but cheaper than others I have had.

They say “intellectual.” Clark Kent wore them to anonymize himself, though. That they were clear is probably what attracted Warhol. I don’t think that I could pull them off. They’re classic, but I don’t think that they’re in vogue, are they?

Be a trend-setter! Or a bellwether!

A German Shepard that herds itself?

I’m afraid it’s self-herding cats and their identity crises all the way down.

Being all-plastic and roundish, they’re not far off from the 70s/80s nerd glasses hipsters have been pairing with toques (and with or without lenses) for a while. I think they have a more flattering shape though. They’re kind of like all-plastic versions of the half-hornrim frames which enjoyed a comeback lately.

Besides, with classic eyeglass frames, you’re either on trend or quirkily individualistic. You really can’t go wrong.

(Me, I wear decidedly off-trend rimless frames, mostly because I can’t be arsed to change them and I like how lightweight they are.)

Damn I love those. I have freakishly large eyes so cannot wear this style unfortunately but I dig it so much.

Vogue, shmogue. The one reason I’m not considering these, is because it seems like every frame-maker has a knock-off available.

Another sighting:

dfaris · December 31, 2018, 11:46pm

Dreamy.

I am gradually building a mental image of what you look like irl.

RAvery · January 1, 2019, 12:50am

Is that the effect of too much cane sugar or Jiffy Pie Crust Mix?

nimelennar · January 1, 2019, 12:57am

Why can’t it be both?

LearnedCoward · January 1, 2019, 1:48am

Too much 1960s

dfaris · January 1, 2019, 2:07am

Again, I think he’s wearing them to look more intellectual. I think it works, too.

Wake up and fight

RAvery · January 1, 2019, 3:19am

Not to go to far, but this is Truman Capote:

And he’s wearing these.
The rivets on the side have been changed for some reason.

dfaris · January 1, 2019, 3:33am

Iconic though they may be, all of these pictures and people wore these frames 50, 60 years ago. We need to look for modern faces.

gadgetgirl · January 1, 2019, 3:35am

The frame Web site has models if you swipe through the carousel.

dfaris · January 1, 2019, 3:39am

Here’s one. Chef Elise Kornack. I think she’s definitely rocking these frames.
