Geek chic, brow line, and 1920s inspired round lens glasses have all been embraced by the modern day hipster. Paired with a trendy hat, brown leather Derbies and unkempt beard, a pair of specs (whether you have a vision impairment or not) are vital for channeling that hipster vibe.
It’s official; buying glasses without a prescription is socially acceptable, as long as you like vegan food, drink flat whites, and own an analog camera. This year, hipster eyewear is all about the square frames. Rectangular & square shaped lenses frame the face and give you a bold, nerdy appearance that’s all the rage.
Here are some of our favourite hipster looks for 2017.

These unisex Booth & Bruce Design 903 prescription glasses are made to stand out. Available in 6 trendy colours, you can choose any pair to match with your wardrobe.
