Invest in heavy-framed glasses

Heavy-rimmed sunglasses, inspired by 1960s models, are back this year as a favorite accessory for many women, including fashionistas and celebrities such as actress Anne Hathaway.

Models vary between retro and geek styles. These heavy-rimmed glasses are generally used by people who do not need to correct any vision problems and have actually become an accessory to complement a look.

The glasses do not need to have a degree, just a simple lens that does not disturb or distort the vision. However, if you already wear glasses, enjoy innovating your collection with different frame models, including the heaviest ones.


After all, the heavy-framed glasses are super stylish, trendy and they can be worn both day to day and at parties.

The colorful and patterned are trend, can give a touch of relaxation to a total black look. Black-framed models, however, still remain an indispensable classic in a very elegant and sober geek or retro look.

Because it is a very eye-catching accessory, care must be taken to combine heavy-rimmed glasses with other accessories and patterned parts. Try to balance the look with neutral pieces if you opt for leopard print glasses, for example, and dare look if you choose to adhere to the classic black.
