Classic Frames for Classic Looks

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Inspired by a blog that was inspired by a blog, who got it from a friend who told it to a cousin’s mother-in-law, who over-heard it from a journalist……

We thought we would look at a few famous eyeglass wearers from the past. Well-known classic looks are easy to emulate at Bruce Eyewear, where current manufacturers (or the same ones, in some cases) are re-releasing classic 50s and 60s style frames. They’re new, they’re in, and they might remind you of your parent’s reading spectacles…
