However, it wasn\u2019t until the fifties, when they were emulated by various other manufacturers, that they really took off. The designs were unisex so could be worn by both men and women, while some of them featured interchangeable bridges and brows, which allowed the wearer to easily customise their look whenever they wanted.<\/p>\n Browline glasses quickly became the most popular style of glasses around, accounting for half of all eyeglasses sold in the 1950s. The eye-catching specs graced\u00a0the faces of many celebrities and important political figures such as Malcolm X, Lyndon B. Johnson and Vince Lombardi. Did you know that even colonel sanders wore browline glasses?<\/p>\n The\u00a0glasses\u00a0remained popular throughout the sixties era, but then made way for other designs made from modern plastic materials.<\/p>\n The classic #Clubmaster, now #RESISTANTasALUMINUM<\/a><\/p>\n A photo posted by Ray-Ban (@rayban) on Sep 22, 2014 at 10:34am PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Possibly the most popular style of browline glasses today are the Ray Ban Clubmasters.\u00a0 After falling out of fashion for a while, browlines become\u00a0cool again in the eighties after Bruce Willis and Kevin Costner were both spotted on screen in the style.
