Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole face in the frame and your hair as you usually wear it. Take off any glasses you have on. Even lighting works best.

Browline glasses have a heavy acetate upper rim that follows the line of the eyebrows and a thin metal lower rim, usually with nose pads. The style was introduced in the late 1940s and was one of the most popular frames in America through the 1950s.

The top bar works like a second eyebrow: it adds definition to the upper face and leaves the lower half light. It should follow your brows, neither cutting through them nor floating far above.

FAQ

Why are they called browline glasses?

Because the heavy upper rim sits along the eyebrows and frames the brow.

Do browline glasses suit women?

Yes. The shape is unisex; a thinner top bar and lighter colors give it a softer look.
