Thick black frames have a presence that thinner alternatives can't achieve. They occupy space on the face with authority and communicate something about the person wearing them before a single word is exchanged. This is a frame with clear references with the oversized, bold-fronted silhouettes of mid-century eyewear, updated just enough to feel current without abandoning what made them iconic. Brown-tinted lenses soften what could otherwise be a very hard-edged combination. It introduces warmth into the palette and gives the overall look some breathing room.
