tortoiseshell glasses
Brown-speckled eyewear frames
Tortoiseshell glasses have frames with a mottled brown-and-amber pattern resembling the shell of a tortoise.
The pattern was originally made from actual tortoise shell but is now typically plastic.
The style carries associations with bookishness or intellectual fashion: She pushed her tortoiseshell glasses up her nose and returned to reading.
