HISTORY
With lens technology and accurate prescriptions becoming ever more affordable during
the 1800s, the 1900s saw a trend toward making glasses fashionable and stylish. Frames with different shapes, materials, and colors became available for those who wanted glasses to match their face shape, eye color, or outfit.
For example, Theodore Roosevelt wore pince-nez spectacles, which had no earpieces, but instead stayed in place with a nose clip. These glass were quite popular earlier in the century, but fell out of fashion as they became associated with older generations.
