In the Clear: 8 Frames With See-Through Style

By Piera Gelardi

A little while ago, we sang the praises of a certain clear eyeglass frames from Selima Optique for J. Crew. And wouldn't you know it, all of a sudden we're spotting see-through specs everywhere. Coincidence? Perhaps—but unlikely. What caught our attention this time wasn't just crystal-clear style, but translucent shades of cornflower blue, lavender, yellow, and amber. We're still keen on the original (see Topshop for a cheaper version), but these pale tints of color are exactly our speed.
