browline glasses
Bold-browed spectacles
Browline glasses have thick upper frames that mimic the line of the eyebrows, with thinner or rimless lower frames.
The style dominated American eyewear from the 1950s through the 1960s, worn by Malcolm X and others, then fell from fashion before reviving as a retro look: He picked out a pair of tortoiseshell browlines.
