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.
