Horn rimmed, or 'Browline' styled frames rose to fashion in the late 1940's before gaining more popularity throughout the 50's and 60's. We love them as they offer a great timeless vintage style that is very fashionable at the moment - especially in a tortoise shell / havana finish. You may also remember the style famously worn by Noah Bennett (or 'HRG' as he was known) in the hit US Sci-Fi show Heroes.
