Channel Your Inner Librarian With These Geek-Chic Glasses Chains
Oh, and never lose your sunnies again
One of Summer 2019's biggest accessory trends also happens to be one of the most unexpected: the glasses chain.
Once seen solely attached to the reading glasses of librarians and your grandmother, these convenient accessories are now being spotted everywhere, attached to the readers—and the sunnies—of street style darlings and beach-goers alike.
What sparked this renaissance? We're not entirely sure, but we're not mad at it, either. It doesn't hurt that the glasses chain revival is more colorful, quirky, and in-your-face than ever. From neon beads and chains to fruits, pearls, and stars, these whimsical accessories fit in nicely with today's hair clips and beaded handbags. And, of course, if you're someone that's constantly losing your glasses (like me), this new trend is an obvious must-try.
