The Clubmaster<\/strong> name may not be familiar to you, but chances are you have seen them countless times on TV or on the silver screen…<\/p>\n

In the 1950s and ’60s ‘browline<\/strong>‘ style\u00a0glasses were the most popular style in the USA. \u00a0The thick rim across the top of the frame, pointing out slightly at the edges, drew attention to the wearer’s brow line, hence the name of the style. \u00a0 The thick top rim is enhanced by the semi rimless, slightly rounded edge. \u00a0Legendary activist Malcolm X<\/strong> and Hollywood Heartthrob James Dean<\/strong> were amongst the famous faces pictured in theirs.<\/p>\n

Ray-Ban introduced their homage to browline frames, the Clubmaster<\/strong>, in 1986. \u00a0Given their distinctive appearance, it is little wonder that these horn-rimmed frames went on to grace many a film of that decade (think John Hughes era defining movies, like\u00a0Ferris<\/strong> Bueller’s Day Off)<\/strong>. \u00a0They were later worn by Tim Roth aka Mr Orange in Quentin Tarantino’s debut\u00a0Reservoir Dogs<\/strong>. \u00a0More recently, thanks in part to the popularity of retro drama Mad Men<\/strong>, these timeless frames have \u00a0made a comeback. Ray-Ban have brought them up to date with new colours and finishes, such as a matte effect. \u00a0Nowadays, Clubmasters are a favourite of the A-listers, male and female alike. \u00a0It would be easier to name who hasn’t been spotted in them than who has! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The eyecatching poster for upcoming comedy ‘The Interview<\/strong>‘, below, shows star Seth Rogen<\/strong>\u00a0wearing the Clubmaster frames. \u00a0The film is set to be released on Christmas Day in the US, apparently it’s the busiest day of the year for cinemas over the pond! \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

Shown here in 2000 Black<\/strong>\u00a0, these glasses are also available in three other colours. \u00a0The slight preppiness to the\u00a0frame gives a bit more of an edge and individuality compared to better known styles, such as wayfarers or aviators. \u00a0They’re surprisingly versatile and look good with nearly anything, whether your style is rockabilly or a sharp suit. \u00a0Of course, as you would expect with a brand like Ray-Ban the quality and durability is of the highest standard.<\/p>\n
