Browline glasses: How to get the semi-rimless look

Gaining popularity in the 1950s and 60s, browline glasses are still one of the most iconic styles to date. Suiting almost everyone because of the variation in frame design, browline specs are great for every season and any occasion.  

What are browline glasses?

With the upper rim of the lens being thicker than the lower, the frames help draw attention to the wearer’s brow line — hence their name. Browline glasses are similar to semi-rimless frames, with the exaggerated brow being the main feature of the glasses but browline offers a more modern, thin brow line alternative. They can come in all different materials, black acetate being the original, but now the style has evolved into a variety of colourful frames, metal silhouettes and contemporary designs. 

Here is a rundown of our favourite browline glasses to help you find the best pair to suit your style...
