I have worn glasses since I was 17, so now at the age of 35, I’ve tipped over into the realm of having worn glasses for more years of my life than not. I have, of course, in that time worn plenty of different styles, but about four years ago, I discovered my perfect frames—black, thick rimmed, and slightly oversize from a brand called Cubitts, an independent optician. I know that they’re a real “fashion” choice, and by that, I mean they make a statement. However, I often get complimented on them and even had a colleague message me over Slack after a Zoom call (so 2020) to ask me where I got them from.
