New trends in eyewear??... Think circa 1978!

Eyeglasses have taken many shapes and styles throughout the years.. some memorable, and some we'd like to forget about. One trend that is currently sweeping the country, is what I consider the 'Les Nessman.' Those above the age of 30 or quality television programming buffs remember him from 'WKRP in Cincinnati.' What I consider one of the greatest shows of all time is making its way back on television and so is the eyewear. Check out the Persol PO3033v eyeglasses.

Cincinnati WKRP....." ;)

The beauty of retro eyewear trends is that they're not just about nostalgia—they're about timeless style that actually works. The 1970s aesthetic has made a major comeback because those frames were built on solid design principles: quality materials, flattering proportions, and an unmistakable character that modern faces crave. Whether you're drawn to the oversized browline, the subtle tortoiseshell patterns, or the warm metal tones, there's something inherently cool about vintage-inspired frames.

What makes the Persol collection particularly special is the brand's heritage. Persol has been crafting premium eyewear since 1917, and their commitment to Italian craftsmanship shines through in every pair. The PO3033v captures that 70s vibe while maintaining the durability and comfort you need for everyday wear.
