oversized glasses

Big frame lenses

Oversized glasses are eyeglasses with frames and lenses noticeably larger than standard sizes, often extending beyond the eye sockets to cover more of the face.

The style cycles in and out of fashion, associated with 1970s glamour, librarian chic, or ironic hipster aesthetics: She wore oversized glasses that dominated her face.

The look can suggest intellectualism, eccentricity, or deliberate fashion statement.
