Super Hollywood Dream Glasses

THE ASKMEN TAKE

One of the original labels to kick-start the trend for acetate eyewear, Super by Retrosuperfuture specs are beloved by music industry insiders, having been spotted on celebs ranging fromKanye West to the guys from Daft Punk, Justice and Simian Mobile Disco. With their Hollywood dream glasses, the Italian label proves they’ve still got it. Featuring a mixture of artistically marbled brown and gold stripes, these glasses are ideal for combining with earth tones, so try wearing them with a chocolate brown suit, a chunky cream cable knit sweater or chestnut-hued leather accessories.

UNIQUENESS

If you’re not an avid collector of eyewear, these glasses will dramatically alter the look of all your usual ensembles. If you are in the habit of frequently switching up your eyewear, Super’s glasses are definitely cool enough to make it into your regular accessories rotation. The ultra-thick lines of the frames will help you make a bold impression while also imbuing your outfit with a touch of geek chic -- although the color palette is sophisticated enough to ensure you come off as more professional than broke hipster. The best part is that you don’t even need to have impaired vision to wear these because the lenses are plastic, relegating them to the territory of fashion accessories. Finally, for guys who shrink away from announcing what they’re wearing to everyone, Retrosuperfuture prints their labels on the inside arms of their frames, keeping the branding subtle.

DURABILITY

These classic frames with a retro-modern twist are handcrafted in Italy to some rather exacting standards. As such, you can rest assured you’re getting a good deal when it comes to quality. With regards to longevity, these glasses are more versatile than they might first appear. Thanks to their neutral hue, they won’t ever really go out of style. Though the geek chic look waxes and wanes, it has never disappeared completely since its inception, so even if you’re on the fringe of stylishness, you’ll never be out of fashion when sporting these glasses. The only downside to this eyewear is that plastic frames are more delicate than titanium models, so you’ll want to avoid leaving these lying around. When it comes to price, compared to similar designer lines, these are much more affordable, although not necessarily worth it if you’ll only wear them a few times.
