Round tortoiseshell glasses offer a touch of quirk when paired with a tailored suit. More importantly, they inject a hint of British cool. With a mod shape that begs to be noticed, make sure and juxtapose these glasses with any polished ensemble for a smart finish. This model comes with a keyhole bridge to eliminate pressure from the top of the nose, so while they\u2019re anything but plain, they\u2019re a practical purchase. Grant believed that those who dressed well behaved well, so make sure you accessorize well too.<\/p>\n

These Bodega wayfarers are named after the coastal California town that became famous in Hitchcock\u2019s \u201cThe Birds.\u201d If California cool best describes your aesthetic, look to James Dean for laidback sophistication. These iconic wide frames come in a variety of colors from vintage-looking tortoiseshell to subtle black and a rebellious green. If you already live in denim and leather jackets these glasses are the only wardrobe addition you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

Shake up your style by looking to James Bond for eyewear inspiration. He might be a fictional character, but the spy we love has shown us many shades throughout the years. Though different actors have portrayed 007, what unites them is a refined elegance combined with a rugged masculinity. Faux wood frames will bring out the adventurous nature of any trendsetter. The black color of these glasses up their cool factor, making them ideal for any international man of mystery.<\/p>\n
