    History of Browline Glasses

    Just like any other glasses shape, browline glasses have been around for a long time. Glasses frames don't just disappear. Like any timeless fashion accessory, they come and go but never go out of style. So there's a perfect time for trends to come back, and now is the time for browline glasses frames to shine. So, when were these glasses invented? What's the mystery behind the browline frames fashion? Here's what you need to know:

    As you might know, the name "browline" glasses come from the design of the glasses frames. The upper part of the eyewear is thicker than the lower part and is meant to draw attention to the wearer's natural brow line. The original goal was to create customizable browline glasses. In other words, you would be able to change the wires, bridges and brows. As a result, their popularity started increasing because of the unique customization. So when did browline eyeglasses first appear?

    Jack Rohrback invented the browline glasses design in 1947. He was the vice president of the eyeglasses company: Shuron Ltd. During the 1950s, the browline glasses gained popularity, and their sales rose, making them a wanted accessory. In the 1960s, browline style glasses decreased because of the availability of plastic glasses but worked their way back to fame when Bruce Willis rocked a pair of browline glasses in his movie Moonlighting. As a result, Ray-Ban introduced the clubmaster glasses as traditional browline glasses frames with sunglasses lenses.

    Browline glasses fashion continued developing more by creating more patterns and colours, even so appearing on the big screen in Mad Men with their tortoiseshell browline frame.

    So, are browline glasses in style now? This renewed spark pushed people to purchase the classic yet retro browline glasses, making them must-have statement-making pieces.
