Horn-Rimmed Spectacles

In a sense i am glad i'm visually impaired, it's a good excuse to wear glasses and have a genuine reason to. Of the many different types of frames available i think the horn-rimmed are most appealing.

Horn-rimmed refers to the original material that these types of glasses were originally made from, which was horn or shell. Nowadays, celluloid is the most commonly used material but the name has obviously stayed. The glasses became popular in the states in the 20's because of actor Harold Lloyd, who wore them frequently during roles and they have continued to remain a common choice throughout the years.

Brown and black are the classic colours for horn-rimmed spectacles, however tortoiseshell and clear frames are also pretty popular. The choice of colour should compliment skin and hair colour and also match the style of what you wear.
