Eye Glasses over Lenses: The new trend

Eye glass frames or spectacles as they are popularly known, have come a long way from their origins where they were heavy, uncomfortable and at times even dangerous to wear. These days, eye glasses are available in many types, materials, designs, refraction materials making them safe, comfortable, hip.

Eye glasses today are seen as a fashion accessory and people are increasingly choosing to express themselves through their eye glass frames.

Eye Glass frames trend through the 1950's

Expression of one's personality through eye glass frames is not something that is completely new. Celebrities like Elton John, Buddy Holly, Groucho Marx and Barry Goldwater used eye glass as a major part of their self expression and personal image since the 1950's.

United States Senator Barry Goldwater continued to wear his horn-rimmed glasses, even after being fitted with contact lenses because people could not recognize him without his trademark glasses. British soap star Anne Kirkbride also became well-known for her sporty eyeglasses and she was expected to wear them at social gatherings and in international appearances, despite wearing contact lenses. Comedian Drew Carey also continued to wear his metal eye glasses for the same reason after getting corrective laser eye surgery.

Browline eyeglasses were extremely popular in 1950s and 1960s and a large percentage of the bespectacled male population used them. In this 70's it was the horn rimmed glasses that were most popular.

Famous Celebrities sporting eye glasses in recent times

In recent times, celebrities like Johnny Depp, Britney Spears and Bryan Fuller have been seen sporting Horn rimmed eyeglass frames.

Other celebrities sporting eyeglass frames include members of the rock band Weezer who wear eccentric designs and patterns of sporty eyeglass frames, singer Anastacia with her odd coloures frames and Actor Kate Winslet with her retro metal eyeglass frames.

Metal Eyeglasses, especially the ones made with expensive metals like titanium are gaining popularity as they are lighter and stronger than other varieties. Sporty eyeglasses, especially the ones made by the Oakley brand are in vogue and a large number of cricketers have been spotted sporting those. With the adventurous crowd, flexible eyeglasses are also growing in popularity because of their dexterity and ruggedness.

With plenty of styles to choose from like the bold look, the retro chic look, ‘nerd' look and trendy colors and patterns. The eyeglass frame as a fashion accessory is here to stay.
