Style Guide | Buddy Holly & the Thick Black Glasses

 Often, when people think of vintage glasses, the image they have in their head (whether they realize it or not) is of Buddy Holly, that devilishly handsome pioneer of Rock and Roll.

There are many ways to achieve Holly's trademark look, but the phrase that'll send your optician in the right direction is '60s horn-rimmed glasses.

At Cateye, we have many examples of this style, including the original vintage TART OPTICAL ARNEL.

Another good choice is the SHURON FREEWAY—these are from one of our new collections.

Or the SHURON SIDEWINDER with thicker swept temples.

And then, of course, there's always the RAY BAN WAYFARER.
