Horn-rimmed glasses' recent rise

[edit]

I think this started before the early 2000s. In fact, I got a pair in about '93-'94 (the sort of half-round style) that I intentionally selected because I wanted to look artsily hip. (I live(d) in the US, BTW.) There were lots of other, similar pairs in the same store, too. I think it's probably more the case that, after being considered super dorky and grandma-ish starting some point after their era of mass popularity ('50s and '60s) - say, maybe in the '70s through '80s - they finally began to be accepted again in an artsy/hipster sort of way around the extreme late '80s/early '90s, and the trend has continued to trickle down to the mainstream ever since, with smaller dips and peaks along the way. I think their revival might have started earlier in Europe than in the US, too - sort of the same as with boot-cut jeans, clunky shoes for women, etc. that all became big in a mainstream way in the '90s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.108.91 (talk) 21:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

[edit]

This article never really defines what constitutes horm-rimmed glasses. You can kind of get the idea that they are glasses with a non-metallic frame from the article but it never diectly states this or gives guidelines for what does or doesn't count as "horn-rimmed." --Ericjs (talk) 04:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
