Browline Prescription Sunglasses
by Courtney Dryer, OD, May 31, 2025
Browline prescription sunglasses combine a classic, vintage-inspired frame look with vision correction, making them a versatile choice for those who desire both fashion and function. Originally popular in the 1950s, the name of browline frames comes from the design itself. The top part of the frame is thicker than the rest and mimics the look of eyebrows. Icons like Malcolm X and Lyndon B. Johnson were known for wearing browline glasses. This style is often noted as "geek chic" because they are worn by many to project intelligence and authority. Today, brow lines are available in various colors, materials, and sizes.

Browline sunglasses for different face shapes
Browline prescription sunglasses are a versatile choice that complements various face shapes. For square faces, where the jawline is strong and angular, brow line sunglasses soften these sharp angles and create a more balanced look. The thicker upper frame draws attention to the eyes and eyebrows, helping to elongate the face and add a slight roundness that can soften the structure of a square face.
For round faces, browline prescription sunglasses can be worn to add angles and structure. Since round faces typically have soft curves and minimal angles, the strong, structured brow line creates a more balanced and dynamic look. By drawing attention upward toward the brow area, brow line-shaped frames help elongate the face, making it appear longer and more angular.
The perfect frame color and material for your Browline sunglasses
Frame color, material, and comfort should be considered when choosing a frame. Choosing the right frame color for brow line sunglasses depends largely on your personal style and skin tone. For those with warm skin tones, tortoiseshell, brown, or gold often work best. Frames in this color family are best paired with a brown or a G15 lens tint. For cooler skin tones with pink or bluish undertones, frames in shades like black, silver, or blue are ideal. Frames in this color family are best paired with a gray or G15 lens tint.
Frames can be made from either acetate or a combination of metals. Material choice can also accentuate the style and functionality of a pair of browline sunglasses. Traditional acetates are popular for the upper brow portion because they are durable and come in many color options. Their matte or glossy finishes can add a unique touch to the overall look. Metal is typically used for the lower part of the frame, offering a sleek, minimalist contrast to the heavier brow line. A lot of retro designer frames, like a Clubmaster, have a brow line design.
Browline prescription sunglasses can be ordered in a wide range of lens prescriptions, tints, and colors. They can be ordered with polarized lenses for the best visual clarity, enhancement of color, and reduction of glare.
Whatever browline sunglass frame you choose, it should complement your skin tone and eye color and represent your personality. It’s important to have fun with your prescription sunglasses!
