EYEWEAR TREND: Browline Glasses




Browline glasses date back to the 1950's and 60's. In these periods, the browline style eyeglasses were all the rage. Browline glasses are characterized by a bold upper frame in a shape that resembles eyebrows, hence the name of the style. The bottom frame is most commonly completely absent or clear.

While a number of eyeglass brands carry browline glasses, Ray-Ban gets much of the credit for browline style reappearing and popularizing. In the 1980's, Ray-Ban produced the line of sunglasses and eyeglasses, known as the Clubmaster.



Browline glasses have continued to be popular today for both men and woman, adored by fashion-saavy individuals who gravitate towards vintage fashion.

Browline glasses are primarily found in black or brown, while other colours such as white, cream and red have emerged as a popular choice.
