In commenting on a photo of herself from 1981, Ann Althouse makes the following delcaration that, no doubt, is an ironclad law of eyewear fashion:

The glasses you’re wearing right now will look stupid in a quarter of a century.

Indeed, it likely won’t take long. The glasses I wore from the mid-to-late 1990s look rather silly at this point, and even the ones I wore before going mostly to contacts a few years back are hardly fashionable now.

I will say that some frames stand the test of time better than do others.
